HONEY MOON

For a couple years Beth has wanted to go to volunteer at an orphanage in Thailand. In January, Joe and Beth will go to Surin, Thailand and work at an orphanage for 2 weeks (Beth works while Joe explores on his own). Beth will work Monday-Thursday 8am-2pm with the children. She plans to document her stay and take portraits of all the kids. At the end of the trip she plans on sending back a book a long with a print for each child to keep.

After the two week stay in Thailand is up, they will fly to Taipai, Taiwan. That is where Joe and his family is originally from. Here Beth will meet Joe's family for the first time and celebrate their marriage as well as Joe's 29th birthday, and Chinese New Year!

PHOTO ALBUM

There will be many photos added to this section. First, please check out the engagement photos that we had taken last weekend by Dacia Lamb. Dacia is one of Beth's friends that she worked with at Pictage. They still work together as each others second shooters for events and weddings.

You will be able to view the wedding photos online after the wedding at Dacia's online viewing service. Look for the little event cards at the wedding. Thank you again Dacia!!!

GUEST INFORMATION

We have blocked off 20 rooms at the Sheraton Pasadena Hotel. It is only a few miles to the wedding location. If you plan to make a vacation out of this trip, you are advised to rent a car. Los Angeles is a big city and it is hard to get around by foot. However there are plenty of places to eat, shop, see a movie within walking distance to this hotel.

permission. Beth's dad said, "you absolutely may ask my daughter to marry you."

ABOUT US

Joe and Beth met on Easter in 2006, at Beth's house. Beth set up a photo booth at the house so the guest could have some fun at the Easter BBQ. Joe kept coming in and out to get his photo taken as Beth just hid behind her camera. Joe ask Beth for her number but Beth never realized he liked her. She thought he just wanted to see the photos. Then the two saw each other over the next year and half out at events and each time Joe would ask for Beth's number again! Still they never went out. Beth also still had no clue that Joe liked her although her best friend Anna kept saying, "oh he likes you"!

Halloween 2007, Joe and Beth worked together at an event. Beth was bartender and Joe was coordinating the event. That night they both realized they had a crush, still not rushing to ask each other out. The next month on Beth's birthday she went out to eat and bowling with friends. The same night her roommates were working with Joe at this party event. It was the end of the night and Beth had her friend Van take her to see her roommates; secretly Beth was looking for Joe. The rest is just history, we started hanging out a lot but mostly just as friends but in May 2008 they both gave in a declared their love for one another.

"We are each others best friend!" Or as Beth says, "he is my rock, we work well and play well together what more could I want! Joe is like a good bottle of wine he only gets better with age."If you ask Joe... he will simply say, "I just LOVE Beth"!
