That Dweam. Wivin a Dream.

Mawwiage. Mawwiage Is What Bwings Us Togeva Today. Mawwiage, that Bwessed Event. That Dweam! Wivin a Dweam!--priest from "Princess Bride"

A few weeks ago, my hilarious, artsy, amazingly talented friend Kat married her handsome Prince Charming on a quiet hillside above Laguna Beach.

We sat on handsewn picnic blankets and Chinese sweatshop-produced personalized pillows (by that, I mean me and Kat's other Asian friends) along the bridal path. She glided down with a joyous smile, looking radiant, never tearing her eyes from her beloved.

Even my mediocre iPhone camera captures her how stunning and happy she looked on that lovely afternoon. Please excuse the wedding photographer's right buttock, which did NOT look stunning. Or happy.

We had a wonderful time. Laughs, taco-truck tacos (muy delicioso! and worth the wait), and Smilebooth photos were had in excess.

My favorite line by the MC:"Kat's Asian, Dennis is Black, so of course, we're having Mexican food for the reception."

Oh, Dude. That Smilebooth--so fun! Chris and I might have to have a permanent one in our backyard somewhere.

The girls (Rita, Kimi, Kat, me and a stowaway):

and me and my man:
Take I--a bit askew

 Take II--still off

 Take III--finally getting it.

Hugs to Kat and Dennis! Joyous occasions like this are few and far between. You know. Taco trucks are a rarity.

Chris and I are so lucky to have my mom here this weekend. You know what that means...catching up on Project Runway (we are losing our PR contest so far), maybe an Anthro run, and sleeping in. In other words, HEAVEN.
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend with those nearest and dearest to you.

Anthro Wedding

My friend Kat is getting married (huzzah!) and I've been trying to help out by scoping out Anthro-type decorations and giving all sorts of unsolicited advice (i.e. no vows in the form of haiku, rap, or interpretive dance--it's all been SO overdone).

She sent me the link to the above, Paul and Stacy's wedding, which I found breathtaking. Pheeeeew. That was my breath being taken away. UH-MAZ-ING.

This is what I sent Kat--some cool decor ideas from my local Anthro store. Don't you just love the petals? They're made from cardstock type paper, and are roughly the size of my torso. After eating my way through several dozen Krispy Kremes. 

Even the dresses made from crepe paper hanging in Anthro's display window. Simply but surprisingly well constructed. And probably just FINE for a late-night or two down on Sunset boulevard or a summer wedding. I mean, come on.
'Course, it just takes a little sprinkling and it's game OVER. 

Hey girls, any other elegant wedding decor ideas for Kat that won't break the bank?

Confounding our enemies for 2 years

There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.
