Thoughts

I had been looking forward to Hudson and Tammy's wedding for several months now. Of course, I also felt much trepidation and worry too.

But alas, the day finally arrived. And all the preparations that many family members and I would have to help pull it all together.

And amazingly, together it came. Because of traffic into Hacienda Heights, the ceremony started late. But the ceremony was beautiful, the group pictures went smoothly. And before they knew it, they were husband and wife. And isn't that the most important part anyway?

The banquet would prove to be more tricky. We lost some of our decorations from our car on the long drive to Chinatown, but managed to make good time. And once we got there, it was difficult setting up all the sound equipment, my laptop, the party lights, the screen and projector, etc.

But even though we started late and it took longer than expected, everything worked. I managed to play the music at the appropriate time while serving as MC. The food was delicious, the chopsticks were used to clang against glasses, an AMAZING skit/musical was put on by the wedding party to the tune of "The Little Mermaid" songs, and some funny and emotional speeches were made by the fathers and the couple themselves.

We didnt' have much time for dancing, but that was okay. Everyone had a good time . . . and I inherited a cousin-in-law.
