A bookish Chinese-influenced wedding with a little Star Wars
Mike and Bernie had their ceremony at a gorgeous church in downtown DC followed by a huge party at Torpedo Factory Art Center in Old Town Alexandria. The Torpedo Factory was originally a factory used for making torpedos, but is now an art center, where Bernie had worked. Bernie infused her Chinese heritage into the decor, fashion, and entertainment (Chinese lion dancers!). But these two are also geeks of our own heart and had Star Wars and book-loving details on top of it all.
