the unofficial wedding pics

I created a Megen and Ashley wedding flickr account for all the pictures our guests took at the wedding. Please email us pictures to add! We want as many pictures as we can get! You can email us at thechengs2008(at)gmail(dot)com. I'm also emailing people I know with the login and password info if they want to upload directly themselves.

We'll have our official photos in a few weeks.
