Hang and Michael had, by far, the most outfit changes and the best cake cutting... ever! You have to check out the series. It progressed rather rapidly from cute, nice cake cutting and feeding to... No! I'm smashing it in your face... to... think again! I'M smashing it in YOUR face! Ha. It was too funny.
Hang and Michael got married.. twice. Yes, two times in one day. They had a traditional eastern ceremony at the brides parents' home followed by a traditional western ceremony at the home of the mother of the groom. Hang and Michael are high school sweethearts so the parents' homes were literally right around the corner from each other! After the two ceremonies they partied well into the night at The Crown Ballroom in downtown Portland. It was packed with family, friends and toasts... many, many toasts!
