FATE or COINCIDENCE...

I thought it would be fun to dig up some pics from our "Early Days"... and I thought about a picture that was taken at a club called "Metro".

I remember Sonya having 'hook-ups' to this club near Downtown, and so we decided to invite our new guy friends to come out to join us. (Herman being one of them.) It was an interesting night and we all got to dance a lot. A Photographer for the club took a group shot of us, and I remember snagging it off his website. (You had to pay to get the high-res shot.)

Well, here's the historic photo:



But here's the crazy thing i literally just realized as I was preparing this post. The DATE of the picture... 090801.

UM... And our wedding date is when.... ??

WEIRD!!!

Support Long Beach Tourism!

So this week I have been in "Lodging" mode. The idea is that some guests and most of the wedding party will be staying in Long Beach the night before the wedding... especially those of us that have a 7am wakeup call to get our faces "put on". :)

The location of choice is the Best Western Golden Sails Hotel... they should still have rooms for a discounted rate... and i hear the pool is extra large :) You may have to call in order to get the special rate though... and mention you are attending the Yee Lee wedding!

Engagement Pics!

Quick Rewind!

In May we went to our future wedding location to take engagement pictures. It was a way for me to make use of my make-up trials as well. (You know me, optimize every opportunity!)

That particular day seemed very much like a trial of the wedding day too. Which is sad because it only means the actual wedding day will be 100 times more crazy. Although I felt like we planned everything out in advance, we still ended up underestimating how long things would take, feeling rushed at every step, hitting traffic and forgetting items and totally skipping meals in order to try to catch up. Bringing Barklee definitely added a layer to the delays... and we weren't supposed to bring him into the garden but they made a small exception and allowed us to keep him in the crate in the gardens while we scurried around getting photos... meanwhile the poor puppy was making a scene... whimpering to get out! (or to go out and chase giant koi fish...)

The good news is that July seems to be a calmer pre-wedding month, since most of the big pre-events (wedding shower, engagement pics, major planning) has all happened. Eye of the hurricane is always the calmest, no?
