Package in the mail...
Sooo...I got a package in the mail yesterday. Seemingly normal box. Stamp on the upper right hand corner. The edges were slightly crushed from being tossed around in the back of a mail truck. Nothing special about it.
And then, I opened it. Bliss....
Isn't it gorgeous?? I was expecting just a box with a couple CDs stuck in them. But, no! Not only is the package gorgeously wrapped (and I'm a sucker for presentation), the front of the CDs have adjectives describing Malcolm and I. So cute!! Ariel and Josh used words like adorable, happy, and loving to describe us. And they also used words like loud, too. Shocking, really....
I'll post the wedding pics soon. There are more than 1500 of them!! Ariel and Josh did such a fabulous job! Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE their style!

More Wedding Weekend!
Soooo....picking up where we left off....
Saturday, February 27, 2010
Most of the guests were coming into La Jolla on Saturday, so we had a full schedule. Saturday morning, it started raining. Not a light mist or sprinkle. Torrential downpours. And me, always being very prepared, wisely remembered to bring closed toed shoes only brought flip flops to San Diego. Well, I also brought heels for the ceremony and flats for the reception. But other than that, flip flops.
Saturday morning, my lovely and awesome bridesmaid Jen and I made a grocery run to Pavilions right down the street. Essentially, we both rolled up our jeans, slapped on some flip flops and made a run through the downpour. After buying enough food for 14 people for 2 days, we went back to the house to cook breakfast. Jen not only whipped up some pancakes, eggs and coffee, those pancakes were the best damn pancakes ever. You couldn't tell they were out of a box. Jen is a pancake genius. =)
After breakfast, Henry picked us up and dropped us off at the San Diego Airport, where we picked up both Wendy and Miles who had just arrived from San Francisco, and a sexy red Toyota Sienna minivan. (You know it's a sexy wedding when there are TWO minivans running the show!). By the time we got the rental car, settled Wendy and Miles into the house, ran through the wedding day schedule with Debbie and watched CNN about the earthquake in Chile, poor Wendy and Miles were starving! Luckily, we were staying right around the corner from El Pescador Fish Market. Honestly, you haven't eaten fresh fish unless you've eaten at El Pescador. It's freaking damn yummy!!
Jen and I were still fairly full from our pancake and eggs breakfast, so we shared a clam chowder and ceviche. Wendy and Miles ordered fresh sashimi, clam chowder and fish sandwich. That sushi, was SOOOO amazingly fresh! I stole some tuna from Wendy, and it literally melted on my tongue. Mmm!!!
That afternoon, we had our wedding rehearsal at the venue. Mind you, it was still pouring rain. This was serious, never-seen-before-in-Southern-California, sheets of water, downpour. With all the rain, we weren't really able to do much rehearsing, but we tried to do a run through, both outside (everyone got soaked in 0.3 seconds), and back inside the reception hall.
While we were getting the bridesmaids/groomsmen couples together, and our ring bearers and flowers girls were running around in circles, the trusty UCSD Campus Police showed up and informed us that we were trespassing on private property and we had set off burglar alarms. The veggie cop campus police officer was SO serious and suspicious that we were engaged in highly illegal activities on school property. While I understand that there are dangers of having trespassers on private property, did we look like we were doing something illegal? I mean, there were 6 children running around in circles, 7 pairs of people walking in a straight line, and various family members taking pictures and watching the rehearsal. Plus, there were other random wedding coordinators with their clients showing the venue around. Clearly, there was no drug use or child trafficking going on.
After spending 15 minutes assuring the officer that we had permission to be there, we finished the rehearsal and Malcolm became fast friends with the officer.
After the rehearsal, we held our rehearsal dinner at Jasmine, a traditional Chinese restaurant on Convoy Street, and owned by Jen's friend's family. We tried to book several other restaurants for our rehearsal dinner, but done last minute and with more than 50 guests, it was hard to book anything. We were lucky to have gotten recommendations to Jasmine from various friends. It was really yummy and delicious! We also had an exciting game of mook-chi-ppa. Frank was playing Larry, who sucked. So then I replaced Larry but not having played in quite some time, I sucked. That's when I brought in my relief pitcher, my future sister-in-law Cindy. She kicked ass!!
The pictures are a bit blurry, but if you look at your bottom right corner, Cindy is throwing out a move with her hands, and Malcolm is holding $3. That's right, $3! He bet big bucks on this game, and Cindy got to take home $3! Woo!
Many thanks to Anita, Jason and Jason's mom, who did a great job picking out our menu for us! We didn't have time to go down to the restaurant to choose our menu (grenades and all that) on Friday, so we asked Anita and Jason to choose a menu for us on our behalf. Mrs. Chu (Jason's mom, not Anita ;)) was kind enough to meet them at the restaurant, study the menu, disregard the restaurant's recommendations, and choose a veggie-friendly menu for us. Everyone enjoyed the food! Thanks, guys!
After dinner, we went out to Double Deuces in the Gaslamp District in Downtown San Diego. Not only did we corrupt the minors (Connie and Sam), Malcolm rode on the mechanical bull!
Oops. Those are the ring bearers Justin and Dylan riding Malcolm like a mechanical bull at rehearsal dinner. Malcolm did ride a mechanical bull after dinner at the bar.
My cousin Sam also rode the mechanical bull under his alias, "Henry Chen."
Sunday, February 28, 2010 - WEDDING DAY!!!
What can I say about the wedding, other than, it was AWESOME!!! Not just that the weather cleared up, we had a gorgeous day and gorgeous sunset, but I didn't expect our wedding day to be so freaking fun!! I had such a great time!!
These are some pictures from the balcony above the venue, before the wedding started:
