The couple Rongxiang and Margie had chosen the wedding date because it was the only time both sets of parents were available to fly half way around the world from China to Atlanta so they wanted to wed in front of their parents.
To be honest, I felt like Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt's character in the Mission Impossible movie series when I first heard the request. However, I gladly accepted the mission and began a 21 day wedding planning journey (a record even for me!) with this sweet couple!
Before the mission began, I did told Rongxiang and Margie that in order for us to pull it off, I would need them to be decisive and they definitely were one of the most decisive couples I had ever worked with! I was particularly impressed that it only took Margie one weekend afternoon to get her gorgeous gown (after I gave her some pointers on where to shop for off the rack wedding dress in Atlanta.)!
The summer wedding with 30 of their closest friends and both set of parents was held at the Georgian Club.
Here are more portraits of the beautiful couple:
