Last
night after Wil, Tony, Ivy, and Oli got in, we went to The Cheesecake
Factory for dessert and coffee. It was such a warm night. We walked
around for a while then headed back to our place to watch TV and hang
out. As the guys dozed off, we stayed up till 3am chatting.

Today
was another hot day. Ivy, Oli, Ashlyn, and I had lunch at Oscars at
The Marketplace in Irvine/Tustin. We ate out on the patio by the water
fountain. Wil, Tony, and Aric couldn't join us...Wil and Tony met up
with Tony's parents for lunch, while Aric went to school. We walked
around, then met with Wil and Tony at Northpark Square. Afterwards,
we all headed back home and got ready for Ivan and Susan's wedding.
The wedding was held at the Hyatt Newporter in Newport Beach. The lovely
ceremony was followed by a lavish cocktail reception and grand banquet.
Ivan and Susan's wedding was a reunion for a bunch of Southern and Northern
Cal friends. I saw so many people I haven't seen in ages!...college
friends, mutual friends, chinese school friends, party friends, and
a guy from my high school (who's currently in residency with Ivan).
*whoa!* Many were surprised that I had gotten married..then were delightfully
shocked to meet Ashlyn.
It was really nice seeing and catching up with everyone. The bride and
groom looked absolutely radiant and happy. =) The entire evening was
beautiful and wonderfully fun. I especially loved the bountiful floral
arrangements, floating candles, and the boba tea station! *Kickass!*
Yeah, I know...I'm raving on and on, but I'll keep it short since I
have lots of pictures from the evening. Let's just say that it was a
perfect night. We had a great time!

After getting out of our party clothes and into our jammies, we stayed
up snacking and talking until everyone couldn't keep their eyes open
(literally). What a fun day and night! *YAWN!* I'm pooped!
