It has been a long time since I last posted and a lot has happened, mainly I'M ENGAGED!!! That's right, I am marrying my best friend. We are very excited to publicly declare our love for each other and to really show how our two lives are becoming one. He is Chinese and I am White American. As you can imagine those are two completely opposite cultures and traditions when it comes to weddings. I feel like our planning this wedding is defining how we will combine the two cultures in our lives together. And let me just tell you, while it has been extremely stressful at times to try to accommodate both cultures it has also been amazing to see the pieces fall into place.
Our colors will be pink and brown because well I love those colors together. We will be serving the traditional ten-cours Chinese banquet at the reception. Our centerpieces will be bamboo. We will be doing the traditional Christian ceremony followed by the Chinese tea ceremony. I will be wearing my gorgeous white dress all day long.
Basically, we are doing this wedding our way and we are paying attention to what we want as the Bride and Groom. We are also listening to both sets of parents for their opinions, but in the end the decision is completely ours. I am grateful the Mr. Mango has been accepting of what I want and has stood up for what I want. This whole wedding planning process is making me love him even more.
I think that is the biggest new thing. Hopefully I'll start posting here more again. I kind of like the process of writing what is going on.

I grew up in a multi-cultural environment (Hawaiʻi)and am familiar with many of the Chinese customs. I love how you're combining your two cultures in the weddding!
