kassy~ congratulations!!
I just got married as well. so during listening this episode, I can relate to that. I hope you have a great newlywed life:)
Congratulations on your wedding! That’s great. I’ll make sure to pass your message on to Kassy.
Wow, Kassy looks gorgeous in her wedding dress! It is really fun to know the wedding in Korean style. It is quite different comparing to the Macau ones. We always do the weddings in the evening and in Chinese banquet style. The most interesting part is the hotel will provide Mahjong service for guess to kill their time before wedding reception.
That’s really cool! I’d love to get invited to a Macau style wedding one day. Sounds like a good time.
