一場少有的中西聯姻

1971年三月的特定那一天，
他，誕生在台灣。

無獨有偶地，七年後特定的那一天，
在美國東岸，誕生了另外一個她。

這個男生，從小就嚮往這島外的世界，
所以當他在台灣的成長過程中，
總是對著異國的事情，不間斷的有著好奇的心理。
雖然，他試圖要想辦法出國去探索冒險，
似乎，那扇門從沒透出一絲光芒….

而這個女生，在她的成長過程裡，
並沒有特別的想到有天，她要在美國以外的國家Long Stay過，
後來，卻在去了一次中國之後，改變了她的想法。

於是，台灣成為了她在美國之外，第一個待的最久的國家，
也成為了她現在和未來的新故鄉

很巧妙地，上帝給了這兩個人一個不一樣的安排，
讓這個看起來不可能的姻緣，變成了無限的驚嘆號。

從一開始就知道對方的生日和自己同一天開始，
就一直有著很多的火花在他們之間激盪。
驚喜著、彼此之間雖然是截然不同的文化背景，
卻又有著那麼相同的心思意念。
就算是，在差異那麼大的情況之下，
還是能夠欣賞彼此文化間的特色。

‘”我們很高興選擇了彼此!”
是這對新人打從內心會傳達給對方的訊息，

2008年10月18日
歡迎各位來見證Beth & Leo的婚禮。
