Som and Mike: Married!

There’s a great and fun Chinese wedding day tradition where the groom (and his team) is put through a series of challenges to prove he is worthy of his bride.   From sorting skittles with skinny chopsticks to puzzles to spelling backwards and reciting poetry (not in English) – Mike performed outstandingly well under pressure.

I saw Som and Mike enjoying themselves all day long.  It was fun, meaningful and a celebration – surrounded by family and friends that are so happy to see these 2 together.

I mentioned in their engagement post that they are both Naturopathic doctors.   They are also the poster children for “healthy” in my mind (not true of many doctors and healers).   They have rich, close relationships with friends and family;  they’re open and authentic;  they live with purpose and meaning – and they take care of themselves.   Thank you so much for bringing me to capture you just being yourselves!

The ceremony was in the Royal Court in Burlington’s Royal Botanical Gardens.   Surrounded in gardens and all natural light!
