Mai and Julius’s Serendipity Gardens Wedding

Mai and Julius wed overlooking a beautiful mountain landscape on a cloudless day at Serendipity Garden Weddings. “Serendipity” means; luck that takes the form of finding valuable or pleasant things that are not looked for. Maybe that is what happened one night almost 9 years ago at a nightclub when Julius asked Mai for a dance! Here is how they met in his own words: “We met like most 20 something year olds do: at a nightclub in 2006. Long story short, we were introduced by a mutual friend, I offered the dance, and after that, the rest is pretty much history. We’ve spent eight years together, basically our entire 20’s together. In this time, we feel that we’ve not only grown so much in our relationship together, but also helped each other grow independently into the people we are today. I feel very lucky to have found someone to spend the rest of my life with. I can’t wait to live out all of our hopes and dreams together and I am so thrilled to look back at this story 50 years from now knowing how our lives unfolded, and remember where it all began.”

Mai and Julius’s wedding was absolute bliss. They each gave their best friends in their wedding party unique and fun gifts. The bridesmaids were gifted a box filled with heart shaped sunglasses, a mini Sofia champagne bottle, Advil, coco vaseline, Kate Spade earrings, and personalized thank you cards. The groomsmen opened their customized boxes to find a cigar, Ted Baker socks, custom money clip, black tie, gold tie clip, and thank you notes with mini Glenlivet bottles! Mai also put in a lot of extra work for the big day. All of the signage and calligraphy was done by her, as well as individually stamping the pink match boxes with “M +J” stamps purchased from Esty for the party favors. The bride and groom also provided their guests with “his and hers” cocktails. Julius’s drink was vodka soda and Mai’s was a Paloma (tequila, grapefruit soda, and lime). The guests enjoyed a perfect Californian sunset and then were able to snack on some s’mores by the fire pits, before sending off the bride and groom with a sparkler exit. They are now off to their honeymoon in Aruba!!! Congrats to Mai and Julius!
