Wedding: Trang & Mike Pt.1 - Ceremony

11.06.2010
Ceremony
Holy Rosary

Riceboi and fabulous, have gotten married, went on a two month honeymoon, and I'm barely posting the deets. That's right. They were gone for their honeymoon for TWO whole months. I guess that's just what you have to do when you're about to open up your own business. Fab had the right idea in hiring a wedding planner. Which made a lot of sense since the couple would mostly be out of town. The wedding planner took care of most of the work and was there the entire day of the wedding to move things along. So worth it! Especially since none of the bridesmaids had to pull all nighters to make sure everything was ready. After attending so many church ceremonies to watch my friends get married, I know now that I do not want to get married in a church. Like one hundred percent. It's entirely difficult for myself to get through mass and the formality of it all is definitely not something that represents who big poppa and I are. We're just always all about having fun and making sure our friends are feeling our energy. However, there is something to be said about the tradition of walking down the aisle to a choir and organ music. I arrived a little early to watch all the ladies get ready and assisted wherever I could. The wedding photographer was pinkposh. Love! And MyLinh was so cute as the flower girl. She got stage freight and transam had to carry her down the aisle. She's so shy! Fab wore this column/sheath lace dress by Oscar de la Renta. What really topped it off was the veil she borrowed from Gilles. Since her dress was fitted, the veil really popped and I loved how it just draped around her. I already told Gilles that I also plan on borrowing her veil when I get married. Those things can get expensive!

Trippin': Las Vegas - Burger Bar

On the first season of Top Chef Masters, I was introduced to Chef Hubert Keller, who quickly became my and big poppa's favo cheftestant because of his humble personality and skills in the kitchen. Although I didn't go to his fancy restaurant in Las Vegas, mochi and I did eat his more casual eatery, the Burger Bar. We both ended up building our own burger. They have a lot of options when it comes to the bread and veggies. I can't really go into any details regarding our bugers cos I just can't remember. But the low points included my alcoholic beverage that ordered cos it had the word mango in it. WAAAY too sweet. Also it was a tab bit dark in there. The burgers were pretty good as were the french fries and onion rings. But the best part of it was the aioli. I love garlicky mayo!

Birthday: Big Poppa

Today is big poppa's bday. I took a personal day from work and spent the entire day with him. That may or may not have been what he wanted for his bday. Haha. I actually JUST turned to him to apologize for not asking him what HE wanted to do. Maybe he wanted to spend some alone time or something. So my take charge self made all these plans for the day. He said that it was fine and that he should be mad but he isn't and that I needed to remember this next time I get mad at something. Uh. No. I don't think so. That's not how it works. Haha. So the plans for the day included breakfast at Flora & Muse (I highly recommend!), his and hers haircuts at Jessica Hair Studio in chinatown, grocery shopping for his bday party this saturday, grabbing a free sample of the carl's jr western bacon cheeseburger at discovery green, and ending the evening with some dinner at Zelko Bistro (I highly recommend!). Maybe I should feel bad for being Type A to fullest, but the work involved in making sure he has a great bday party kinda makes me not care. Haha. Cos deep down, I know that he knows that I would do anything to make him happy. Right? RIGHT?!? Love you babe! Pics below are from our haircut session. The rest of the pics will come later.
