Morning Brunch Mills College Wedding » Oakland, California

Yun and Will’s wedding at Mills College was actually their third wedding celebration. Originally from China, they celebrated with a small wedding with Yun’s family earlier this year. Their second wedding celebration was at Burning Man which was a nod to the fact that Yun and Will had their second date at Burning Man. For their third wedding, they officially tied the knot at Mills College in Oakland with an intimate wedding surrounded by close family and friends. The ceremony took place in the gorgeous cedar chapel on campus where a former professor of Yun’s officiated the wedding. She was able to translate the ceremony into Chinese so that Yun’s parents who were visiting for the first time could be included. After the ceremony, everyone headed to the Reinhardt Alumnae House for live music and a delicious brunch reception. One memorable moment of the day was after Yun’s cousin and maid of honor An’s toast, her boyfriend proposed to her. Yun and her cousin An are very close (they consider each other sisters) so everyone was so excited and blown away by the surprise. The daytime festivities wrapped up as the sun finally peeked out from behind the morning fog.
