Michael Chen invited the bride for a dance.
Everyone happily joined in! ... in beautiful Kimono or else!

Philip and Ayumi did not toss the bride's garter,
instead they
gave away $100 chip to a table drawn by poker pair in the
place setting.
After the conclusion of the wedding party, the
newlyweds took their young and energetic guests
to the Mix Lounge on the 62nd floor of The Hotel to continue the celebration
