entertainment

Professional emcee Emily NG was hired to
speak in both Mandarin and English. She
was co-emcee along with a friend of the
bride. Dark pink and silver programs were
created to describe the entire evening line-up
including bios of the opera singers.
Music for the first dance and dinner ambience
was provided by Lance Souter, aka DJ
FreeLance from GIRL ON WAX. An evening
performance by ROY & ROSEMARY,
(a violin and piano duo), took place on a
white baby grand W. Hoffmann piano.

A gobo (light design) was created using the couple’s
monogram and was projected onto the white dance floor.

The magical day culminated in a spectacular
performance after dinner, with four opera
singers singing classic love songs including
Moon River, O Sole Mio, Brindisi and The
Prayer. “While the adults were watching the
opera show, the kids were settled in another
room and a magic show was performed for
them,” recalls Christy.

Three heart-shaped macarons by GANACHE

guests in pretty, pale pink boxes. The favors
were adorned with a pink ribbon and topped
with pink flowers.

honeymoon

The couple is still planning their honeymoon
and hoping to go to Santorini, Greece—the
bride’s dream honeymoon destination.

Screens, with images of chandeliers projected on them,
were used to hide the stage. When it was time for the
surprise performance, the screens were pulled back and
the performers and orchestra were on stage.

Christy and her family moved to Vancouver
from Beijing, China in July of 2012. Peter—
originally from Zhuhai, China returned to the
UK after the wedding to finish his Master's
Degree. He joined his new wife in Vancouver
in September 2013, after the completion of
his studies.
