Bee & LeMar Mattox - 07.19.09

Bee & LeMar's wedding is a unique union of diverse cultures and traditions. You can tell immediately by their unconventional wedding wear. Bee wore Cheongsam, a formal Chinese traditional dress and LeMar wore Barong, a Filipino traditional shirt. They started the event with tea ceremony, which comes from Bee’s Chinese background. And at the end of the tea ceremony, the were married by LeMar’s Step-Father and the couple performed a tradition of jumping the broom as a symbol of entering their new life together. This tradition comes from LeMar’s African-American background. Guests dined on Filipino and Chinese food with 9 dishes symbolizing good luck...I truly will never forget this wedding or this couple. It was an absolute pleasure working with Bee & LeMar along with everyone else involved in the wedding. Thank you Bee & LeMar for letting Soiree share this special day with you....
