#ChavisWedding

Rebecca and Michael got married on Saturday! They were the last of this core group of friends to tie the knot and the wedding was absolutely beautiful! The rehearsal went great and then we were treated to a delicious dinner at the Shaffner House in Winston Salem.
 


I loved Rebecca's dress!
 





The dinner was delicious and Michael and Rebecca both said some very nice things about their bridal party before handing out gifts. The gifts to the guys were really cool straight blade razor kits! Derrick hasn't tried it yet but I'll be sure to keep you posted on how it goes!


The next day was wedding day!! The wedding was gorgeous and Rebecca's dress was amazing! It started with a Christian ceremony at the church and there was a traditional Korean ceremony at the reception. It was so cool seeing the Korean ceremony.


The reception was beautiful and had an outdoor terrace where the Korean ceremony took place and then, after dinner, dancing. The weather was perfect!


Waiting for the bridal party to arrive!









After dinner was the Korean ceremony. I LOVED it!! Michael, Rebecca, and their parents were all dressed in traditional Korean wedding clothing. Michael and Rebecca were lead through a series of bowing, offering tea to their parents, and hearing marriage advice. At one point they had to catch dates and chestnuts that were tossed at them to symbolize the number of children they were going to have. I'm pretty sure Rebecca dumped some of the 20+ dates they had caught out :)  It ended with Michael giving Rebecca a piggy back ride around the stage.




Catching the dates and chestnuts!






Ok....lets ignore the fact that my dress makes me look pregnant in this picture. Not pregnant! Just a food belly and a poofy dress!



The rest of the reception was a blast with good music, dancing, and great friends! Here's a smattering of other pictures from the rest of the night!


 


All married now!






This is the last of this group getting married but we still have another fun wedding to attend this year that we'll all be at. Alexander's brother Anthony gets married on November 1 and that will wrap up the weddings for this year. We're looking forward to it!!
