we went to the de young yesterday, though, and have decided we want to get married there instead.

can we have do overs? can you get rich real fast? : )

very very pretty.

and my dress got destroyed by dinner - to much gesticulating and walking on concrete. but d's worn his suit several times, or parts of it at least.

we still have a bit of the cake frozen... yuck!

1. wore no ribbon. 2. just lots of hairspray.

not Asian fusion, it was Middle Eastern fusion and we want to go there again soon, yummy!!
