Emilia and Pete's Long Island Wedding

On January 25th, which was Chinese New Year, Pete Lee got engaged to Emilia Garrido at a Chinese restaurant.

Pete: What a beautiful day for a Chinese dinner.

Emilia: I know. Thanks.

Pete: You’re welcome. Um, I have something to ask you.

Emilia: What is it?

Pete: \*holds out an open box with an emerald ring in it\* Emilia, will you marry me?

Emilia: Yes Pete, of course I’ll marry you!

Pete and Emilia hugged and kissed each other.

Five months later, on June 20th, Pete and Emilia took a bus from Adventure Bay to West Hempstead, Long Island, New York.

Five days later, on June 25th, it was a beautiful day in West Hempstead, Long Island, New York. Everyone got dressed up, the ceremony and reception were set up, and the wedding cake was frosted and decorated.

The Chinese-American groom, Pete, wears a white tuxedo with a green bowtie, a yellow cummerbund, and white shoes. The Guatemalan-Cuban-American bride, Emilia, wears a white short-sleeve A-line gown with rhinestones, silver bracelets, silver high heels, and a silver tiara with her two-tier white waist-length veil and she felt like a princess.

Pete’s groomsmen (Jason, Matty, Angel, Gabe, Shawn, Brad, Bob, Larry, Wesley, Ron, Willy, Lionel, Steven, Luke Stars, Ryder, Jake, Daring Danny X, Julius, Carlos, and Alex), his groomsmen pups (Marshall, Rubble, Chase, Zuma, and Tuck), his best man (his twin brother Rich), and the ring bearer pups (Rocky and Tracker) were all wearing white tuxedos with green bowties and yellow cummerbunds.

In the ceremony area at Ariana Waterfall, Pete was standing in front of the arch, waiting for Emilia to come. As the bridal party walked, Rocky and Tracker were the ring bearer pups and Skye, Everest, and Ella were the flower girl pups.

Note: Officiant Jenni Garrido, who is the mother of the bride, speaks English during the ceremony. She's from East Meadow, Long Island, New York, USA of Guatemalan-American heritage.

Officiant Jenni: Please stand up for the bride.

The string quartet played Here Comes The Bride. Pete saw Emilia, who was carrying a bouquet of violets and yellow roses. She was so beautiful.

Officiant Jenni: We are gathered here today to celebrate the marriage of Peter Benjamin Lee and Emilia Victoria Garrido in holy matrimony.

(Minutes later)

Officiant Jenni: Emilia, do you take Pete to be your lawfully wedded husband? To love and to cherish, for the rich and the poor, in sickness and health, as long as you both shall live?

Emilia: I do.

Officiant Jenni: Pete, do you take Emilia to be your lawfully wedded wife? To love and to cherish, for the rich and the poor, in sickness and health, as long as you both shall live?

Pete: I do.

Officiant Jenni: May I have the rings.

Pete: I, Peter Benjamin Lee, take Emilia Victoria Garrido to be my wife.

Pete puts the ring on Emilia’s finger, next to her engagement ring.

Emilia: I, Emilia Victoria Garrido, take Peter Benjamin Lee to be my husband.

Emilia puts the ring on Pete’s finger.

Officiant Jenni: By the power vested in me by the state of New York, I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.

Pete lifted Emilia’s veil and they both kiss.

Officiant Jenni: I now present to you Mr. and Mrs. Lee-Garrido.

The string quartet played The Wedding March as Pete and Emilia left to go to the reception. Later, the bridal party and the guests went to the reception.

At the reception, they had chandeliers, tables, Chiavari chairs, floral centerpieces with candles, wedding favors filled with chocolate truffles, a sweetheart table with a J & P initial in it along with two thrones, a 5-tier wedding cake with lavender chocolate roses, edible leaves, and a Link groom and Princess Zelda bride on top, Cherry Creamsicle, Lime Cream, Lemon Meringue, Dulce De Leche, Tres Leches, Vanilla, French Vanilla, Chocolate, and White Chocolate cupcakes for the kids and teens, Boozy Cherry Creamsicle, Blackberry Margarita, Boozy Lemon-Lime Creamsicle, Vodka Raspberry Lemonade, Raspberry Mojito, and Kiwi Bellini cupcakes for the grown-ups, and pup treats for the PAW Patrol pups.

After that, Pete and Emilia had cut the beautiful wedding cake. Pete took a bite from the cake and he gave Emilia a kiss. Then, Emilia took a bite from the cake and she gave Pete a dab of frosting on his nose. After the cake cutting and the Viennese Hour, Vicky caught the bouquet in the bouquet toss and Rich caught the garter in the garter toss. After that, they had a Hora Loca and after that, they had fireworks.

After the wedding was over, they went to Long Beach, New York, USA for their honeymoon.

The End!
