A Rainbow Backyard Wedding at a Private Residence in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey

Sue-Yenn (26 and an actor/singer) moved to New York City in 2010 from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. One night after work, her new roommate, Pearly, asked her out for drinks with friends--which turned out to be just Pearly, her date, and Sam (35 and a music producer). Unexpectedly finding themselves on a double date, Sam and Sue-Yenn hit it off immediately. Three years later, Sue-Yenn was performing in Hershey Park's main stage show when a fellow cast member called Sam up on stage where he proposed in front of her cheering audience. Wanting to get out of the city, the couple decided to host their wedding in Sam's mother's backyard in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey. Unable to decide on a color scheme, Sue-Yenn chose to incorporate simple, rainbow-colored details with mostly white decor, "so that it wouldn't become a kid's birthday party theme," she says. In keeping with her heritage, Sue-Yenn managed to keep some Malaysian wedding traditions, including her wedding fashion as well as a special tea ceremony with her and Sam's parents.
