ReplyDeleteGreat photographs. Doesn't your father look good in that suit. And your TeaHouse is the perfect spot for such a special occasion!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful celebration and love story!
ReplyDeleteWe are missing you and the cozy little tea house on our rainy today in our new home. I think that I may need to set up our own little tea nook because I haven't seen such a place in our little town.
