Pictures from the Sacramento Reception

I know this is like seven months old but I thought I would show you some pictures of what our reception in Sacramento looks like. We did a traditional Chinese theme for this reception. Benj's mom planned the whole thing since we were too busy honey mooning it up and going to school, She put a lot of hard work into it. We actually wanted an open house down there, we just thought it would have been easier on everyone if we did but Benj's mom wasn't familiar with that so she went the traditional route and we were okay with that too.

For both wedding receptions we had a table that had pictures of us through out our lives. I really wish you could see this closer there is a picture of Benj when we was a baby and he was such a budda baby, hope our kids look like him.
 Right before we got married Benj's family went to Taiwan. That's where all of his mom's family is from, and when they got back she had brought back a Chinese dress back for me to wear for the reception since they did the whole reception in Taiwanese form. Benj's grew up with this culture his whole life, he even had a Chinese shirt to wear that night. 


Here is a picture of the Whole family, unfortuantly my family couldn't be there but I know they were there in spirit! And Benj's family was awesome. 
A picture with my parent, did I ever mention that Asian dresses give you more curves because Asians don't usually have curves, yeah it gave me curves that I wasn't used to because I have never really had curves before this I was so nervous about it all.
We even had a live band playing at our reception. Chinese music and all! :D
We had a huge dinner buffet type of this so much good Chinese food!
Benj's has some awesome friends. This guy got up and sang a song for us at our reception. It was so sweet.
