Cecilia and Phil's big day was all about the personal touches - from the hand-made favours to the bento box lunches for the guests, everything had a little (or a lot!) of Cecilia and Phil in it. Their ceremony took place at the Vancouver Museum (inside the Planetarium building) in the beautiful Joyce Whalley Room overlooking Vanier Park. The bento boxes were ready and waiting for guests after the ceremony, and contained some of Cecilia and Phil's favourite foods - a Chinese pork bun and an orange chocolate truffle lollipop, among other delicious things. It was fun to take advantage of the museum displays (like the 50's diner display in the image below) and then it was onwards to Locarno Beach, followed by a local park with great views and a school with cool architecture. The reception was at the Victoria Chinese Restaurant, and in between courses guests were treated to some amazing entertainment - a Chinese harp player, a saxophone player, and even a Chinese opera - all performed by guests at the wedding (pretty talented group!) The favours were beautiful wooden boxes, each one carved by Phil from a single block of wood. Inside was a macaroon made by Cecilia (who also made the fabulous cake) and a magnet featuring a cute caricature of the couple. It was an amazing day, and we were happy to share it with Cecilia and Phil!
