Attending a Wedding

Last Saturday we went to our nanny’s daughter’s wedding banquet. Like our nanny who is from country side of Suzhou usually celebrates for 3 days of wedding feast.I was able to fit into my old pre-pregnant dress.
Our nanny Ms. Zhu told me she will set up a wood house right down at her apartment, but it was really hard to imagine how they will organize their feast, because there is not much space outside. In fact, the wedding banquet had group 1 and group2 on Saturday. We were in group 1 to have a dinner started at 5:30. The 2nd group had a dinner at 7:00. Sunday was the same thing for lunch. the firt and the second group.We had appetizers of pistachios, cold jellyfish, edamames, then new plates stocked on top of other plates every 5 minutes. We had snake, turtle, fish, pig, sweet black beans, and more.

Photographer: Akiva

Some how he has been very upset to be taken a picture. I have to be very sneaky, other wise he will take away my camera and take a picture of us. He still need to learn how not to put his finger on the lens, but he has taken some OK pictures.

Summer Style Hair Cut

Hair cut treat is of course “ICE CREAM!”

More Cali

I spent 45 minutes at REI with Tony trying to buy sneakers. I didn't buy any.



Vietnamese Pho (w/ Tony at restaruant on Convoy St.)



I caught two waves at the La Jolla shores



Tony and I by the pool.

Food in San Diego / Tony's visiting

Carne asada burrito. Ummm Ummm good. Found in cheap Mexican restaurants all around California.



Bowties and Cottage Cheese. A Covner favorite.



$1.50 Hot dog (with Sourkraut), and diet Coke...from Costco.



My friend Tony came and visited me from Northern California. He is trying to seduce single white men. (I'm married BTW)



We went to eat Sushi with my sister Rachel. I didn't take pictures of the Sushi. Tony said it was not that good. I thought it was OK, but overpriced...just like everything else in San Diego.



We also went to the beach. I look cool. Not surfer cool. But very cool. Tony, on the other hand, bragged about his 6% body fat.

Jeremy's wedding

I went to Jeremy's wedding on Saturday in San Diego. The wedding was at the same temple where Haga and I got married years ago.



My father officiated the ceremony. He got a license making him the Deputy Commissioner of Marriage (for the day).



The bride Kelly was incredibly beautiful and the groom stylish



All the groom's men wore Scottish kilts. They got big swords as party-favors. I told Jeremy before hand that I did not feel like bringing a sword back to China through customs, and I did not want Akiva to get ahold of said sword and start a life of medieval violence.



The Bride and Groom danced. So did a lot of guys in kilts danced to Irish / Scottish music. Those guys were not wearing underwear



After the wedding, we had a party, catered by Gail (my Aunt). Fresh Chumash, olives, chicken and fish kababs, Greek salad, pink champagne. Very good food. Also a keg of Guinness beer...which I drank a lot of.



I sat with my friend Brad Decker, who I have not seen for about 6 years. I also hung out with Dan Sutherd, who I have not seen in 20 years. Brad runs lighting for theater productions in Switzerland. He also sometimes does choreography. Dan runs a mail-order nursery in Eureka California and likes art photography. His site is: http://www.drsfoto.com/



My sister Rachel and my brother Micah. They say I'm drunk...nuh uh!



My mom looks great!




Later, I took a nap on this bench.
