Joann and Chris were married in Napa, California in September 2007.
Both Joann and Chris are designers (he is an industrial designer, and she is a graphic designer) and they met at a branding consultancy in Oakland. Joann describes her husband as "a down to earth, laid-back kind of guy from Australia" and herself as "a more intense, punctual city girl from Hong Kong."
Joann included many DIY elements in the event. "I always wanted to plan my own wedding, so we did not hire a wedding planner, and we were eager to do as much as possible ourselves."
