ready, set, hitched!

Aunt Cel and I went to La Venta last Wednesday to meet with Lauren, our on-site wedding coordinator. This is the 'ballroom' with the dance floor. Lauren (whose grandfather is from the Philippines) asked, 'Do you think there'll be much dancing?' Aunt Cel says, 'Oh yeah, we're Filipino'.

Sitting by the window is Lauren, who was wonderfully patient with our quirky demands, and sitting on the chair is Aunt Cel who was so generous as to accompany me to this and many other places on that day. Many many thanks to both!

On the way to the LAX Courthouse. 

Waiting for the Judge to call us. 

Meeting Judge Judy.

Our wedding cake!

Just kidding...

The Judge puts on the "wedding" cassette tape.

And it's over in a flash!

Discussing the legal paperwork.

Our good friend Peter Vanttanathan was our best man + maid of honour + photographer + videographter + witness + cheerleader all rolled into one. Most of the courthouse pictures are courtesy of Peter. Thanks so much Peter!

On the way to LAX, Myung Jin mailed out some invitations. More to be sent out soon... So look out for the green envelope and let us know if you don't get yours within a couple of weeks.

Myung Jin is back in Tokyo after almost 3 weeks of zipping about in Los Angeles. Much was accomplished, and some are yet to be resolved. Ramon, and Fiel & Peter so graciously provided her with home away from home during this time. Thank you so much guys!

Hand carried back on the journey was the wedding gown, double-bagged in JCrew and Nordstrom shopping bags.

Our flower girls are Eric's niece Lauren, and Myung Jin's friend's daughter Nicole. We guessed their sizes and bought these dresses made of green silk and organza in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Luckily, they fit!
