Catherine and Dan had an absolutely beautiful outdoor wedding in Menlo Park this weekend. You couldn’t have asked for a nicer day (especially considering the fact that it was supposed to rain)…and I bet you couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful bride. I still remember the day you two got engaged…I’d like to think that everyone who was there that day (ah-hem….awake, or well…not awake) played some part in nudging Dan to pop the question by laughing at Catherine’s joke. In any case, however it happened, I’m glad it did because you two are going to have one happy life together…and if you don’t, no worries…Catherine pretty much shed all her tears at the wedding, so no need to worry about her crying.

Congrats you two…here’s a preview of some of the shots from the wedding:

Judy and Rex Fun!

May 25, 2009

So the Korean duo of Judy and Rex finally tied the knot this weekend! It was an absolutely beautiful wedding in perfect sunny southern California weather! Everyone who went had a fantastic time, but it was especially great for me because I’ve gotten to know Judy and Rex so well. We had a great time at the UCSF table and even managed to keep the medicine talk to a minimum as well (fairly easy tonight given the Lakers were playing game 3 against Denver). Anyway, here are some shots from the wedding…

But first, some of the sillyness of Judy and Rex from our little photo session a month ago:

The wedding was so much fun, but after the wedding ended, the real adventure began! At about 11pm, Tristan (code name: Papa Smurf), Erica, Danielle and I decided to hunt down the infamous Kogi Taco Truck. We checked the twitter page and found that it was parked somewhere in the San Fernando Valley (Reseda and Devonshire), so we packed the cars and took a 30 minute journey to the valley.

We got there at about 11:40pm and found a long, long, long line for some tacos. It was cold, we were hungry, and it seemed like it was going to take an eternity! Since there was so much hype about this place though, we decided to wait it out (and by “we”, I mean Tristan and I…Erica and Danielle waited in the warm car). After about 2 hours in line and having to serve as bouncers for the truck (owner told us that we were the last ones they were going to serve), we got our tacos. They ran out of everything on the menu except for their most coveted item (tacos), so we just ordered a million of those! To be honest, I think it’s a little over-hyped and probably not worth waiting 3 hours in line for…but if you’ve got nothing to do and want some delicious tacos, google the Kogi taco truck and find where they’re parked…it’s definitely something very unique that you should at least try once in your life!
