If you were wondering what lucky couple in the Lower Mainland picked Saturday for their ceremony, here’s your answer.
Yosem Reichert-Sweet married Gabrielle Sheung at Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Gardens at 11:30 a.m. on the loveliest day of 2008, April 12. The special day featured a high temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and clear views of the coastal mountains.
The festivities started early with a funny and charming rendition of the Chinese Wedding Door Game at the home of the bride’s parents in Richmond. Yosem and his groomsmen bowed to the commands of the bridesmaids and hammed it up to the delight of everyone, including Gabbie, who peeked outside from an upstairs window.
Once he was finally allowed to cross the threshold of the front door, Yosem was greeted by happiness banners and Gabbie’s beaming, resplendent face from above. As he climbed towards her, he voiced all the reasons for his love, a move that had her in tears long before he reached the summit.
The emotions for all welled up at the formal ceremony in downtown Vancouver’s Chinatown. The couple were married by Justice of the Peace Ken Dong and in front of more than three dozen guests and attendants in Sun-Yat Sen’s intimate Scholar’s Garden.
The next stop was Stanley Park, where Yosem and Gabbie were photographed under cherry blossoms similar to those stitched on the bride’s gown. The reception followed along the calm waters of the Fraser River at the picturesque UBC Boathouse.
Besides Gabbie’s captivating beauty, the talk of the evening was how pleasant and endearing the bride and groom are to others, hallmarks that bode well for a successful partnership. Gabbie and Yosem, who met while working for the same company in Vancouver, partied with their family and close friends before jetting off to Europe for their honeymoon.
My team and I were fortunate to be the photographers for their cherished day. We wish them a wonderful and joyous trip, as well as years of wedded bliss!
