Wow am I the first person to post who had a reception in a Chinese restaurant?

1) "Ceremony": September 2004; Dinner Reception: December 2004
2) ~20k for dinner reception
3) Sea Harbour in Richmond (Day #2 after their renovation)
4) Nothing fancy.
5) 120 people
6) Tea ceremony, that's about it.
Edit: Groom's parents paid for dinner reception.
In September, I had a marriage commissioner come to our house after work where we exchanged vows and got married. Then we had dinner with both families & 2 friends (witnesses) that night at the restaurant ("yut dong heen") on the 2nd floor of the complex on the corner of Cambie & Alderbridge - the place we also arranged to have our dinner reception later in December.
One week before the reception, my mom happened to see fire trucks in action outside the restaurant. I nearly had a heart attack when my mom phoned me at work to say "uh, restaurant's on fire!" Fortunately, we were able to move our reception to Sea Harbour within one week...
As for the original restaurant, arson was suspected, and this restaurant has never re-opened since the incident.
