Preparing the reception tent for the big event... family and friends gather to assemble the lantern chandeliers and the strings of lights... while the weather outside is looking a little dreary ... everything inside is sunny and bright.

Morning...August 25, 2007...
"this is what?"...
"huh?"...
getting the frames in position...
and the wires all untangled...
strings being strung...
lanterns being attached...
"this is so coool"...
attaching ribbons...
and more lanterns...
"ok everybody... look there"...
"huh?"...
"is this on?"...
outside in the wet...
"shouldn't these be a little higher?"
organized chaos...
and more...
making a good lamp post...
"how about here?"...
mmmmm....
"hey... this is taking shape"...
the lantern ladies...
"how does it look from there?"...
preparing for lift-off...
successful launch of cluster one...
top of the world...
up in the air... at last!...
there's still more to be done...
more strings to untangle...
(just another quick look... wow!)...
attaching the last mini lanterns...
getting some brotherly help...
... and not.
Coming up next:
Afternoon and evening pics of the reception...
where all of this comes to life under the lights!
