Bride and Groom at Rehearsal Dinner at Cedar Lakes Estate

Alex’s mother is of Chinese descent, so she donned a red cheongsam, a traditional Chinese dress, for the rehearsal dinner to celebrate her heritage. Her accessories came from John’s mother. “My mother was born in Iran, and after Alex and I got engaged, she gifted Alex a bracelet made of gold that had belonged to my great-grandmother, which Alex also wore at the rehearsal dinner.”
