Our Wedding Cake… 1 year later..
Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Ok I know, 3 posts in one day is a lot, but I was pretty bored this weekend… :)

.. anyways… ::roll eyes::

Jane and I busted out the wedding cake we saved for a full year as our one year anniversary just passed last Monday (3/17).  At first, we thought about eating it. Then we thought about it some more, and came to the conclusion that having explosive diarrhea wasn’t a very romantic way to celebrate our anniversary.  So we did the next best thing and gave the cake it’s goodbye photo shoot.

The weekend
Monday, January 8th, 2007

The past weekend was quite fruitful. Took the BIC (Butt In Chair) on Saturday; Updated some of the blogs in Chinese; Decided on the girls dresses which is a little harder than I had expected; Get all the card stocks ready for the invitations — took me quite a few hours to cut the paper, but it was kinda fun.-¯

We also finished our engagement photoshoot on Sunday. Though Jimmy’s still coughing, Sunday was pretty much the only choice if we want to have the picture for the wedding. Luckily-¯it was a beautiful day, warm and sunny.-¯We went to Union Square and a beach —¯which turned out to be a nude beach — why there’s never hot California girls but only old-¯weary dude?-¯

Jimmy was taking care of his cold, played FFXI, took the engagment photoshoot with me, prepared a nice dinner, had 5 bowls of porridge and 20+ dumplings, and being my moral support during my paper cutting project :-*. Now you know why-¯I’m calling him “xiaozhu” le…-¯-¯

The perfect wedding favor ( s+et+-t_Ss+_t¦+s¬+t¦+s(n)
Saturday, December 30th, 2006

I was looking for a nice wedding favor. After discussing with Jimmy, we concluded that-¯candles would be nice,-¯it needed to be-¯someing special, and it would-¯be also nice if the wedding favor can be used as a placecard holder as well.

One day while I was chatting with my parents online, I saw this picture with-¯a cute romatic little beach chair — it’s a candle holder that can be used as placehard holder as well — it’s perfect, just-¯as what I had in mind. Happily I sent the link to my parents. After explaining to them what a wedding favor is, and what I had in mind,-¯I asked: “what do you think?”

There’s this silence for at 5 seconds, then my mom said slowly, with an obvious hesitation in her voice-¯”.. it’s like a toilet..”

How can you not love your mom?-¯-¯-¯
