Li emailed me about the music at his wedding because he “loved the concept of Hi-Fi” – little did he know that I would feature it! It’s always exciting when brides and grooms submit their own wedding…especially when they thought long and hard about the music. Li also does marketing for three wedding venues, so he’s always in the “wedding game”. Now it’s time to let his day take center stage!
