## Navy Grog!

November 15, 2015

I just got the beautiful photos from Yi and Ben’s wedding last August! They live in Washington D.C., and the wedding was planned with one trip to Palo Alto, where Ben’s parents live. They were a big help in the planning process!! Yi literally floated around the Palo Alto Hills Country Club that day looking like a princess! The day began with a small Chinese tea ceremony at Ben’s parents’ home followed by the afternoon wedding festivities. It was a perfect day for their outdoor wedding ceremony followed by a fabulous dinner, dancing and Navy “grog.” They entered under crossed swords and toasted after the cake cutting with a military concoction that contained a different bottle of alcohol representing each branch of the military. It was topped off with a bottle of champagne! It was quite a tradition… and all those who participated were still able to stand up afterwards!!
