Rachel's and Ning's wedding

On Saturday, my friend Rachel got married! Rachel and I have been good friends for a long time (eleven years, I think), ever since that eventful day in 7th grade when we decided to work together on a book report in English class. I think Rachel is one of the most wonderful people I know, and I’m so glad that she was able to find someone equally wonderful to be her husband (you’re cool, Ning).

Dan and I were both able to drive to Cleveland for the weekend and be there for the ceremony and reception. It was so nice to be with Dan for three days straight….I rarely get that wonderful luxury now that he’s so busy in grad school.

I did Rachel’s hair for the wedding. It was pretty scary doing her hair for such an important day, but I think we were both pleased with the results. Rachel was such a beautiful bride! And, Ning was quite handsome, as well. I’m so excited for both of them.



The wedding and reception were held at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens, and everything about the night was lovely….the beautiful flowers, the string quartet, the yummy food, the old friends from high school and Rachel’s family that I got to see, and the adorably-in-love bride and groom.



I loved getting to see my old friends from high school and get to catch up on what’s happened since then. It’s hard to believe it’s been five years already. And, I also enjoyed meeting Rachel’s friend from college, Stephanie. Here are all of us with Rachel:

Chris, Jen, Rachel, Dani, me, Stephanie

I had a wonderful weekend and wish Rachel and Ning a long and happy life together!
