On the afternoon of Saturday, February 24, 2001, the BIKE GODS gathered
in Bellevue, Washington to witness the marriage of their own TsaiBorg,
and the conversion of JenSou into JenTsai.

|
| |
| The GrandMother, a former BIKE GODDESS, is escorted down the aisle. | 
Hi res | Lo res |
|
| |
Hi res | Lo res | The proud parents of the groom are next to be seated. |
|
| |
| TsaiBorg awaits the arrival of his bride, JenSou. Behind him stand the BIKE GOD Minister of Marriage, brother of TsaiBorg, and Byondo. | 
Hi res | Lo res |
|
| |
Hi res | Lo res | 
Hi res | Lo res | The Bride's Maids are next to take their places for the ceremony. Soon the wedding party is is nearly complete. |
|
| |
| The Child-Ringbearers, perhaps some of them future BIKE GODS, are last down the aisle before the bride. | 
Hi res | Lo res |
|
| |
| At last, the bride is escorted down the aisle by her proud father. What parent could not be ecstatic to see his daughter marry a BIKE GOD? It is an opportunity that few even dare to dream about... |

Hi res | Lo res | JenSou makes her final approach to the altar as the audience watches in awe of the event that is about to take place. |
|
| |
| With everyone in place, the glorious ceremony commences. | 
Hi res | Lo res |
|
| |
|
| |
Hi res | Lo res | 
Hi res | Lo res | TsaiBorg lifts the veil of his new wife, JenTsai, to reveal her warm, beaming smile. This is surely a BIKE GOD marriage that will last! |
|
| |
| The happy couple is now presented to the hearty cheers of the audience. TsaiBorg and JenTsai have completed their union! | 
Hi res | Lo res |
|
| |
|
| |
| Byondo, looking quite regal and rejuvenated by the splendor of what he has just witnessed, takes the hand of the Bride's Maid and makes his exit as well. | 
Hi res | Lo res |

Hi res | Lo res | The candles at the dinner tables add yet another touch of class to this already classy event. Looking directly up produces a breathtaking view of the 100% diamond dome at the top of this magnificent BIKE GOD palace. |
|
| |
| The new bride and groom have a little fun on this old BIKE GOD piano. | 
Hi res | Lo res |
|
| |
Hi res | Lo res | Byondo gets out his cheat sheet to deliver a powerful speech in honor of TsaiBorg and his bride. Nothing could possibly top his electrifying words, except . . . |
|
| |
| . . . Zippy MacPhee's heart-wrenching rendition of My Heart Will Go On, sung in dedication to the happy couple. There isn't a dry eye in the house by the end of the song. | 
Hi res | Lo res |
|
| |
Hi res | Lo res | 
Hi res | Lo res | The wedding party makes their way around to all 500 tables at the gala. Byondo follows the TsaiBorg couple with handouts for all of the important guests. |
|
| |
| The whole gang gets together for a group picture. Front row: Heater and No-Hands, BIKE MOM, BIKE BABY. Back row: Air Mapster and betrothed, Byondo, JenTsai, TsaiBorg, Zippy MacPhee, RoadMaster B, Booty Boy, brother of TsaiBorg. | 
Hi res | Lo res |
|
| |
Hi res | Lo res | Wondering what was in those handouts Byondo had? Magical BIKE GOD Beans, of course! |
|
| |
| TsaiBorg and JenTsai get ready to cut the traditional BIKE GOD Wedding Cake. I'd be a little wary of that knife if I were the Borg! | 
Hi res | Lo res | 
Hi res | Lo res |
|
| |
Hi res | Lo res | 
Hi res | Lo res | Having survived a potential knife mishap, the newlyweds happily stuff each other's faces with cake. |
|
| |
| TsaiBorg launches the garter into a crowd of thousands, all clamoring to take home this incredibly rare souvenir from the most anticipated event of the year. Last we heard, a mob of people was still fighting over the tattered remains... | 
Hi res | Lo res | 
Hi res | Lo res |
|
| |
| In the final tradition of the evening, TsaiBorg and JenTsai share their first dance as husband and wife. Just as with biking, the Borg amazes all with his extreme prowess in this delicate, yet physical activity. |
