Kerry and Russell | Yamashiro Tea Ceremony

For the second day of Kerry and Russell’s wedding weekend celebration, the couple had a traditional tea ceremony around the koi pond of Yamashiro in the hills of Hollywood. The ceremony was lovely, Kerry and Russell served their family tea and the family offered them gifts and blessings. Russell Sr. shared a warm and funny speech, as well as Kerry’s sweet Mother. Grandpa Sun made Kerry and Russell special gifts, as well as shared words of wisdom. The party enjoyed appetizers, sushi, cocktails and dancing with the city skyline as the backdrop. It was a beautiful celebration for such a wonderful couple.

Cheers to Kerry and Russell. As Grandpa Sun said, they are like a pair of chopsticks, one single chopstick can not work alone but together they work.
