You’re invited to the wedding of
Beijing • September 19, 2026
Zhengyang Mansion, Mandarin Oriental Qianmen
Life has taken us across cities and continents, and many of you have been part of that journey. We’d love to celebrate this milestone together with you in Beijing.
We picked Mandarin Oriental Qianmen for its classic siheyuan-style courtyard homes and hutong neighborhood — a setting Miki spent time around growing up. It’s in central Beijing, a short drive from the Forbidden City.
Beijing is also where Miki spent many of her formative years after moving from Japan, before heading to the U.S.

We’re hosting the celebration in an intimate setting so we can share the evening closely with our guests. We have space for about 50
people.
We’d love your RSVP within 2 weeks (by end of February). We’ll follow up about a month later to reconfirm.
If you’re not sure yet, choose ‘We’re working on it’—we won’t hold a seat yet, and we’ll check in next month.
Western formal. Chinese traditional is encouraged — it’s fun, cool, and fitting for Beijing.
At least a day before. If you have extra time, Beijing is lovely in September.
English and Chinese (if our emcee is willing — thanks Yukai.)
September is the nicest month in Beijing. It’s the perfect weather — the only 2 weeks that’s enjoyable — typically mild: about 15–26°C (59–79°F). Bring a light layer for evenings.
We don’t expect anything—Beijing is already a big ask, and your time means the world. If you insist, we’ll accept with gratitude. But please don’t feel you have to.
We picked a few favorites (with photos and maps) if you’re staying longer.

Please report it to Yi Jie. He built this with Codex + ChatGPT using pure vibes and zero knowledge of what the code actually does. He claims it worked once, briefly, on his laptop.
Great question. Again, please direct your questions to Yi Jie - he built (and I’m using that word generously) it with a healthy amount of hope (in his AI assistant)… and a brave disregard for error messages.
Absolutely*

On-site and the easiest option for the wedding night. And also very overpriced.
