the wedding weekend extravaganza officially started on thursday. we started off with a trip to selix to pick up the tuxedos. i managed to slip away afterwards and headed off to aldo to purchase some shoes for friday night. i sure do love shoes. by mid-afternoon we were making centerpieces. twenty in total. once they were completed, which actually took less time then we thought, it was off to the 540 club for some late afternoon cocktails. i took off with lj & scott to go to the san francisco museum of modern art to see the olafur eliasson exhibit. my favorite was the steel-and-ice-covered, hydrogen-fueled concept vehicle. thats because we got to wear blankets into a really, really cold room. hehe. while at the sf moma we ventured down to the third floor to see the joseph cornell exhibit, too. i really enjoy his collage work. back at misty's it was full swing family affair. i really wanted to sleep but found myself engaging in conversation instead.

friday morning is a slight blur. can't really recall what happened. that night was the rehearsal dinner at home. we drank, ate, talked, and an all around great time. it was nice to catch up with peeps from the past. i must say that the bread pudding there was freakin amazing. with every b it i thought i had died and gone to heaven—bread pudding heaven that is. we ended the evening at the cathedral inn hotel bar. that night misty, kate, helen, & i all stayed at the apartment.

saturday was the big day. the morning started off with us loading up misty and kate's car with center pieces, programs, vip badges, etc. d picked me up at 2pm. we grabbed some dim sum for the girls and set off for the hotel to pick up the centerpieces to take them to the great american music hall. we unloaded the car, unpacked the center pieces, set up the came to an end at midnight. not wanting the evening to end a bunch of us headed to a chuppah, and completed various other tasks. we had a slight problem with the two center pieces for the head table. the flowers looked like shit. luckily all the other ones were fine. we did had to do some minor pruning. jojo managed to find to some red flowers at a nearby florist and the center pieces were saved. yeah jojo! by 4pm we headed down to the dressing rooms to get ready. photos were at 4:30 pm. at around 5:30 or so we did a dry run for the ceremony. by 6pm we were back down stairs waiting for the event to begin. i did manage to down a couple of cocktails before the event. not sure why but i was a little nervous. hehe. the ceremony begin at 6:30 pm. everything went flawlessly. the rest of evening was spent eating, drinking, talking, dancing, etc. it was definitely one of the best weddings i've been too. everyone seemed to be having a great time and that's what its all about. i had a dance off with ted's niece. she's about ten or something. idid mange to eat two cup cakes. the strawberry one rocked! the evening officiallykorea bar down the block. we managed to stay there until last call. helen wanted a burrito so of course we stopped to get some before making our way home. we finally got back to misty's at 3:30 am. by 4am the three of us were laying in the bed talking.

i won't lie, sunday morning was ROUGH! with sunglasses on we headed to the cathedral hotel for brunch. it was nice to see that i want' alone in my misery. after the brunch we returned to misty's as did their families. the rest of the day was spent there. i barely made it to 10pm when the last of guests finally left and i went to sleep. the sofa never felt sooo good.

on monday, i still didn't feel 100%. misty, ted, helen, mimi, and i went to the pork store cafe for breakfast and bloody marys helen and i did a bit of shopping downtown and i even managed to drop my film off for developing. can't wait to see what's on it. dinner was had at cha cha cha's. it ended up being an early night for all of us.

misty, helen, mimi, & ted

misty & ted took off early on tuesday for their honeymoon. helen & i went to the video cafe for her last breakfast in america. i said goodbye to helen around 1:30 pm and spent the rest of the day in a slight a coma. weddings are HARD!

stay gold & be well…
