Pae-Baek!! :)

In Korea, there's a marriage tradition called, "Pae-Baek". When you get married, you dress up in the traditional Pae-Baek clothing which is basically what the King and the Queen of Korea way back in the day wore when they got married. We were lucky enough to be able to partake in this tradition and take "Pae-Baek" pictures together!!
I'm not going to lie, I had a laughing fit while I watched my mom help Tiger into this outfit haha!! It was quite a sight. However, I do think he looks adorable in his "King" outfit. The belt he is wearing has the Character, "Wang" on it which means "King". KING TIGER!!! ^.^
 So, what we wore under all these garments is our wedding "Han-bok" that we got in Korea when we went in April!! This is just traditional Korean clothing that people still wear on special occasions til this day!! Especially weddings!! :)

And the traditional piggy-back!! :P

I'm A Married Woman!!

         I can't believe it's been almost four months since my last post!! A lot has changed since then! First off, I'm a married woman now!! Woot! Our September wedding was an absolute fairy-tale wedding for us. It was a dream come true and I'm still on cloud nine every time I think about it (even though nearly two months have passed)! Our ceremony was gorgeous and very poignant. We tried to focus on things that were most important to us for our ceremony: the content and the music. Since I'm a musician I wanted to make sure we incorporated that in every aspect. My mom did a wonderful job with the flowers and it was the most scenic indoor wedding, in my opinion.. The chapel was gorgeous with windows all around and the music we chose helped make everything enchanted. I felt like Tiger and I were getting married inside an enchanted forest hehe! Most importantly, we had a BLAST at our wedding reception and we were so blessed to have so many loved ones share our special day with us!!
           Being Mrs. Tsai is quite awesome. I'm so proud to carry that name and since I bore that name, here's a question that I've been asked a lot: Does it feel any different now that you're married? And the answer is: YES!!! I LOVE being married!! :) Just the fact that we are now officially a family and have professed our love for each other in front of our entire family and friends, makes me wake up every morning feeling so happy! There is a strange calm and security that falls into place when you get married. Even though your relationship is pretty much the same, I do feel as though Tiger is a little different as well. I think calling me "Wifey," makes him feel a tad more responsible hehe. Anyway, I love that we are starting a new chapter together and I love that I look forward to every moment of every day with him!! <3
Our photographer did a wonderful job of capturing the moments that matter on our wedding day. I was blown away with some of these photos and how great they turned out!!
We had two photographers capturing moments for us. They both did a fabulous job of capturing pictures that will last a lifetime!!
Proud husband and wife..
