A Simple Wedding

This is our wedding. It was at our home in Richmond. There were only three people besides us. The priest, my brother and my friend Jesse who is also the official photographer for the wedding. The priest is also my friend's father.
I took off 2 hours early from my rotation at VA. I told my attending that I would like to get off 2 hours early because I was getting married that evening. Well, Edith took off only 45 min early from her work at Subway sandwich shop. She got home about 20 min before the priest.

Ko Yin Htwe and Phwar Phwar. They are also my co-sponsor of the reception. They took care of everything.

My sponsors Dr. Sein Win and Dr. Tin Moe Thu. We were cash strapped. I was a resident and Edith was still in law school. Both of us decided not to get help from our parents. So, my friends decided to help us out. They sponsored this reception. We had a band and many singers. They all came and help us without charge.
