Eileen & Donghoon's Wedding
November 25, 2007

Over the Thanksgiving Weekend we attended yet another wedding of my cousin. This fourth, and last, wedding of the year was for my cousin Donghoon (Dylan). It was held at La Sierra University Church. I hadn't been back in about 20 years... So much has changed, yet I was able to see some familiar sites. La Sierra University Church was one of them. It was so good to be back where I had spend couple years of my precious youth. It was especially nice to return back to the campus for a joyous occasion. It was for a happy union of my cousin and Eileen... probably the sweetest girl you'll ever find. Dylan, you did well! I'm very happy for both of you. May you both enjoy the married life as Eddie & I have thus far.

Bride & Groom's mothers

Linda (cousin James' new bride), In-Kyung (my cousin responsible for bringing the couple together) and yours truly. Linda helped me tremendously... without her it would not have run so smoothly.

Our nephew, Sean, was the ring bearer.
He's participated in many weddings this summer and has done fabulously... so we were a bit surprised with his reaction this time. Maybe he's just had enough! However, he walked down the aisle, crying ALL THE WAY... too cute!
