The Hong Kong party was held on November 17, 2000 in HK Island Shangri-la Hotel. The whole day was like minute - so many things happened in so little time. Therefore I would like to express my thanks to the following people who made this party a successful and memorable one.

My aunts and uncles - who came from all over the world (Canada, Singapore, Spain, USA) back to HK.

My aunt Maria and mum - for so much planning and running around.

My bridesmaids (Ms. Maggie Au, Ms. Adeline Chan, Ms. Angela Chan, Ms. Vena Ho and Ms. Judy Wong) - for taking care of all my worries.

Mr. Jorge Oltra who traveled from China to be Toshi's bestman.

Mr. and Mrs. Kwok for cleaning my rental dress (I got wax dropped on the dress during the candle service).

All guests who came to celebrate with us.
