stardustcboy's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Wedding and Points Inbetween quiet day here at the office. can't complain about the shortened week!! not to mention i get to go to e3 tomorrow, should be quite fun. i'm interested in all this new fancy-schmancy-next-gen-console-gaming stuff...though i doubt that i, the lowly lil animator, will be allowed to set my eyes upon such techno-graphical-goodness. if anything i can catch the buzz. now on to... The Wedding and Points Inbetween the day was absolutely lovely! i awoke on time and gathered all the necessary things for the wedding. i stayed the night at our apartment, deciding to drive up to santa barbara in the early morn. after a fairly good nights sleep i was rested and refreshed for the big day. i scooped up Growler and my sister's husband the Church Mouse and made my way on up to the wedding site. the drive was nice, and we made great time giving us almost an hour or so to just breathe deep and conserve our energies. by the time we got there the chairs and ceremony area had already been set up, with JeLLy's mom's fiance and friends adding the final touches on the wedding arch (which looked beeeyoootiful). my parents were busy at work on the reception area and i had my dad run and get a case of wine. unfortunately, my dad doesn't drink that much (if ever) and when you say "dad, grab a case of wine" he interprets that as "dad, get a couple boxes of franzia." :-P despite all was well in the world, and i was calm as a hindu calf. the time came and all the groomsmen lined up in order with all the bridesmaids...the groomsmen were... ~The MaC - my cousin whom i've known since i was like 1 years old. ~Docter Strangelove - a good buddy of mine from waaaay back in junior high, now a doctor in microbiology and genetic engineering living in london. ~Swifty - sort my older bro whom i met in Japan whilst visiting The MaC when i was 17. went to CALARTS with me and pretty much always has had a habit of getting me into trouble. ~Starfly - my other college bud, people used to think we were a gay couple because we were inseperable...but in the end we are just really close friends (even though he recently admitted a certain level of...um...curiousness). ~Growler - another bud from college, known each other for years and back in the days would run around with Starfly and our other friend WoO causing all sorts of mayhem and destruction. ~Cottonmouth Snake - my nearest and dearest friend and business associate. met him in the days of the Ops and have been great buds ever since. so they're all lined up with the bridesmaids and our friend Jewels starts playing her violin. the officiator comes out, followed by the groomsmen and bridesmaids, then by my mother and i, and finally the bride and her mother. she was stunning. beyond beautiful. bright and luminescent in the mid-day sunshine. cameras flashed, tears flowed and she joined me at before our guests and friends. the officiator spoke, i said my vows; JeLLy said hers. he wrapped it up and at last presented us as man and wife. we walked back down the isle, followed by the bridesmaids and groomsmen and then gathered for pictures. after we made our way to the reception area and ate food, did toasts, cut the cake and generally enjoyed the gorgeous day, our family and all of our friends. as the day waned people left to their respective hotels for the evening and others showed up later. we had beer and grilled some more food and finally were kicked out by the park ranger. we made our way back to the hotels to change a bit and wrangle up the crew for one last big night out. one of our friend's girlfriends chugged nearly half a bottle of tekillya and ended up puking her guts out in our honeymoon suite bathroom. we informed our friend that, even though we love him, that he needed to get his sick girlie out in an hour (every time we see him he's got a different ho). then we were off...a little night life...a little dancing...it was a blur. laughing and having a good time all the way back to our suite. JeLLy and i crashed out around 3 or so and joined the ranks of the 60% or so who don't get it on on their honeymoon night! damn those numbers all to hell!! lol the next day we went out for brunch with the family before they all headed back to their respective states and countries. it was all very, very, very lovely. we then enjoyed the rest of the weekend and week together, alone at last. sunday we soaked in the hot tub for a bit then went out to state street for sushi (which was THE BOMB - probably the best i've had) and saw Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Monday we went shopping CRaZeEe at Urban Outfitters and spent...oooh...i'd estimate about $1200 on new outfits and gifts for our friends. we then lazed around the hotel room, soaked in the hot tub some more, then decided to take the two pills our friends had given us. we rolled our balls off until about 1 and fell asleep. Tuesday was check out time and i had made plans to take JeLLy's mom out for dinner that night. with some time between check-out and dinner we decided to go and lay out on our favorite nude beach for the day. by the time it was done JeLLy had been burnt to a crisp (she still suffers to this day) and i was a deep brown. we rode down to see her mother and had sushi with her then finally made our way home. exhausted we stumbled through the front door and immediately into bed...the next day was work. so that's it in a nutshell. a very nice and relaxing time. thankfully, the week is greatly shortened by our extended lil vacation and thus things have been nicely low key since my return. it all turned out just perfectly overall. a few lil hiccups here and there, but great nonetheless. ~B-) 3:17 p.m. - 2005-05-19 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
