Sandstone and Tulle

In the summer high season, five couples get married at Memorial Church each Saturday. Throw in the Sunday and off-peak ceremonies and you've got 150 weddings a year -- and that's a whole lot of photos snapped on the arcade in front of the chapel. On a recent Saturday, Doan Ngo and Jenny Hoang posed for a formal portrait while, nearby, a friend spreads out Sharon Lam's train for her shot with groom An-Ti Wang. "When you're a student with tests and papers, you never think of your wedding on campus," says Lam, '90, MS '92, MBA '97. "But it's so beautiful, like a European cathedral. You feel like royalty when you hear that organ music."
