photos used here and the Polaroids used in the proposal were printed at foxprint.com. Shout out to them for being based in the SD area and delivering quality, speed, and great customer service.

Celebrating this day with our friends and our communities was a logical next step after the proposal. Getting her closest friends to hold the secret for a few weeks would be an exercise in trust but based on her reaction, they’re great secret keepers!

In my mind LA Eats has always been about enjoying food in the presence of friends, family, and the people we love. This day embodied all those qualities and more so I couldn’t think of a better project code name. Huge thanks to everyone for helping out and making this a reality!

Food: King’s Hawaiian BBQ, King’s Hawaiian Paradise Cake & Mocha Haupia Cake, Republic of Pie pies, Cream Pan Strawberry Croissants.

Decorations: alilweddingplanner.com and friends

Location: EFC Southbay. (K’s home church in LA)

Good job, Lawrence. Nice ring! Congrats to my cousin Katie! #shesaidyes #engagementring #putaringonit

Jen & Ivan Tie the Knot

Ping Pong Dojo. 9mm Sig Sauer. 10 frames. Taco party pack. Sugar free red bulls. An open mind and decades-old friends is apparently the recipe for one epic spontaneous last night send off.

Got the groom to the alter. Got them married. Beautiful wedding. All is well that ends well.

San Diego Comic Con 2014

IMG_9936

An interesting comic con. A year after missing out because of a trip to Singapore, I was back, thanks again to San Diego’s FM radio 94.1 comic con correspondent Dexter Odani! The layout this year was all kinds of weird and there were definitely a lot more displays outside of the convention than previous years. Companies took huge booths outside the convention center to feature Constantine, Black List, Assassin’s Creed, Game of Thrones, and much more. Inside the convention hall the summer hollywood movie blockbusters no longer held center square and they really separated the games from the comics from the movies this year.

As always the cosplayers came out in full swing, even in pretty hot heat. Super impressed! At the end of the day, I came out of the convention to check out the zombie walk and catch up with some coworkers. Long day but always fun to people watch!
