I&#8217;m glad they didn&#8217;t start on time because Brian and I were cutting it kind of close. Melissa was even surprised that she and Todd beat us to the wedding when they&#8217;re notorious for being late. In my defense, I thought the wedding was at 6 PM whereas Christina put a reminder on Missy&#8217;s phone and had the wedding time listed as 5 PM. LOL. It actually worked!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway Brian and I were both grateful that our friends arrived early and saved us a couple of seats. We were also grateful for the late start because we didn&#8217;t want to miss Christina and Jake gazing into each other&#8217;s eyes as they spoke their vows.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/21560932961\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"   title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5831\/21560932961_8bd7a71180.jpg\" width=\"480\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a picture of the newlyweds as they made their exit.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/21540961912\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"   title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/684\/21540961912_3ddc187a8b.jpg\" width=\"480\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Our awesome group of friends. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/21477579518\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"   title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5694\/21477579518_1a7a8746bb.jpg\" width=\"480\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Huge thanks to these guys for saving us seats!<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/21654026612\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"   title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/727\/21654026612_cf64ecaa81.jpg\" width=\"480\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Meader and Hideki clean up really well.
