She said yes!
The best man figured out what to do with the ring after all.
The bridesmaids bouquet.
It’s good to hide behind when drinking out of the flask!
A bunch of us had helped out with the making of the photo booth, it turned out great!
The best man is not quite sure what to do with the ring, is he supposed to take it out of the box or what?
Why do rehearsal the day before when you can do it just a few minutes before the the event?
The wedding ceremony was on top of Baldwin Hills in Culver City, the hill is great for work-out so there were a bunch of random people mixing in with wedding guests.
Martin, the one who introduced the couple to each other, had got a license to marry them.
The bride, escorted to the ceremony by her mother and sister in law.
They have hired an accordion player! Downtown Los Angeles in the background.
The groom is ready to go!
It’s been 5 years since I did anything like this before, but it was a lot of fun, and it did not take as long as I expected! I’m glad they only wanted a small one though, and not one with 10 different layers.
Very soon after, it was time for hair and make up for the bride and bridesmaid, and off course time for the bridesmaid to touch up her speech.
We had decorated our place with traditional Taiwanese signs for good luck.
Then the groom arrived with gifts in exchange for the bride, but first he had to make it past a bunch of questions.
He also had to serve tea for all family members before everyone could agree that he is a keeper.
I have a feeling this is gonna be a very awesome event!
We were only gonna have breakfast, take a stroll around town and then head back home when we walked by the Lucas & Lewellen tasting room and this sign;
I dont think anyone of us was really feeling it, it wasnt even noon yet, but the “buy one case and get an additional case for 1 cent” was really tempting!
But we couldnt buy a two cases of wine without tasting it first!
We had to pay a last visit to a bakery while waiting for our wines to get ready.
We were told Gainey was one of the first wineries that open up in the Santa Ynez Valley, we thought it was a little too commercialized for us. The wine was ok, but we were not that impressed and none of us bought any wines.
The Sauvignon Blanc was really good, and I think I will visit this place again!
We had some time before dinner and stopped by one last tasting room; Dascomb Cellars. We all loved this place from the moment we walked through the door. Sofas, comfy chairs, fireplace and Trivial Pursuit questions on the tables. I bought a bottle of the 2008 Dascomb Roussanne, and the 2005 Port from East Valley Vineyard was Ah-mazing! I’m usually not a big fan of port wines, but it was served with raspberry chocolate that we let melt in our mouths while sipping on the port. My friend got me a bottle and the raspberry chocolate to go with it, since it is my birthday week. Yay!
Saturday night was friends get together night with hot pot.
Hot Pot is pretty much the Chinese version of fondue.
You toss everything in a boiling pot in the middle, forget about it for a while and get a surprise every time you fish up something you dont remember putting in.
I ate way too much, but there were still some room for dessert, I had made a cake for the birthday boy.
