Eunice & Eric at Mandarin Baptist Church

March 29, 2025 · Mandarin Baptist Church of Los Angeles, Alhambra

A Mandarin Baptist Church Wedding in Alhambra

Eunice and Eric describe themselves as two hard working partners who value each other and their families, and they believe they met in God's perfect time. She is a boba lover and he is a coffee addict. She loves cooking new recipes, and he happily eats everything she makes. They married on March 29, 2025, starting with a door game and tea ceremony at home, a first look at San Gabriel Mission, a ceremony at Mandarin Baptist Church of Los Angeles in Alhambra, and a banquet at Five Star Seafood Restaurant in San Gabriel. The palette was sage green, peach and white. Here is their Mandarin Baptist Church wedding, photographed by One and Only Production.

Eunice Gets Ready at Home

The morning started at Eunice's family home in El Monte. She wore a red and gold qipao with beaded red shoes, and a red double happiness sign hung on the wall for the day's traditions.

The Door Game

Eric arrived with his groomsmen in gray suits, and Eunice's bridesmaids in olive green were waiting at the door. A photo puzzle and a couple of challenges later, Eric made it up the stairs to pick up his bride.

Eric and His Groomsmen at San Gabriel Mission

Midday, everyone headed to San Gabriel Mission for portraits. Eric, Best Man Alex and groomsmen Danny and Tim had plenty of energy by the fountain.

First Look at San Gabriel Mission

Eunice took a few minutes on her own in her strapless gown and long veil before walking across the plaza to Eric. He turned around, and the hug that followed said everything.

Pastor Alan Chan led the service, Eunice and Eric exchanged vows and rings, and they thanked their parents with flowers during "謝謝祢 Thank You Lord", sung by Heidi.
