We’re Married!

Posted on December 30, 2008 by Todd Alperovitz

Cathy and I finally tied the knot on Saturday, December 27, 2008 in her beautiful hometown of Jhongsing Village. Since then, we’ve been really busy showing my parents and brother around Taiwan. So if you’re looking for wedding pictures: my good friend Jason Huang took a lot of great photos that can be found here, Michael Turton has an excellent recap of the event on his blog, and David Reid also uploaded pictures on his flickr stream. We’d like to thank all our guests who could attend to make our wedding day special!

I’ll resume regular blogging during the second week of January. In the meantime, have a Happy New Year!

UPDATE: MJ Klein has wonderful food pics from the event.

We got to the studio to take our wedding photos around 9:30 am on Sunday. At that time Cathy got her hair and makeup done and discussed the final locations for the outdoor shots.
