Our beach wedding party

We were legally married on August 13th, or the 7th day of the 7th month on the lunar calendar, which is actually the Chinese equivalent of Valentine's Day. Our wedding party took place on September 8th, after being postponed for a week because of a passing typhoon. It was a beach party after all, and we did not want to risk it being spoiled by bad weather.
Sunday the 8th was a beautiful day, and our wedding was an amazing and awesome event. A truly epic wedding party. Not in the least because of the perfect planning and organization by our friends and colleagues. Special thanks go to the Dutch team: Paul, Bob, and Sander, with the support of Linda, Amy, Nono, Crazy, all the musicians, photographer Yvo Muris, and of course all our guests, who made this a fantastic and unforgettable event.

We made it a special wedding, not only because of the location on our lovely Sun Bay beach, but also because of the Caribbean theme, me being dressed up as a pirate, taking my bride for a ride on our sailboat, after the more formal ceremony, and the epic fireworks launched while we were sailing away.
As soon as we took of, the party got started by Dr. Bird ska band, followed up by a series of performers, including Chris Diltz (US), Marcus (CA), David Murphy (CA), and Chinese friends who joined in with their instruments and great singing voices. DJs Devon (CA) and David Krings (DE/NL) completed the musical entourage. Cocktails were mixed on the spot by Sruna from the Groove Lounge, and delicious home made sausage and pork steak were grilled by the lovely duo Vito (PL) and Uwe (DE) from deguosausage.com.
In fact, the party was so special, that it was picked up by the media, and as a result full-page articles with photos were published in several newspapers and websites.
