Handmade red silk satin gown, overlaid with crystal beading on red silk gauze.
The red is a tribute to Chinese heritage, dress in a European (Valentino) style. Orchids in bouquet to represent Bride's name. Gold highlights for prosperity and fortune.

The wedding story:
A series of misadventures in our separate lives brought us together. I don't think we would have met otherwise - our stars were aligned that year. We had no money, so everything went into the dress. I made the bouquet and other flowers myself. The photos were taken by the guests on whatever camera they had.
