Andy Vu (29 and a software developer) and Daniel Moose (30 and a lawyer) waited 11 years to legally tie the knot. "We wanted an elegant wedding with our closest friends,” Andy says.

After their vows, the group toasted with champagne and a surprise cake Daniel ordered at Whiskey Kitchen next door. "We wanted an elegant wedding with our closest friends," the grooms say. "This made us happy, and that's all that matters."
