Monece & Brian

san diego, california

Monece & Bryan’s wedding at Darlington House in San Diego, California was one for the history books. Planned by Rinna Morales of Lifetime Wedding Memories, Monece and Bryan’s wedding combined traditional Chinese culture with an American twist. The couple exchanged vows on the patio, with red laterns hanging from the banisters. Their tea ceremony, an homage to their parents, aunties, and uncles, was a nod to authentic Chinese culture.
