Surreal/Fantastic Weekend

Yesterday I had the tremendous pleasure of being a part of my own brother’s wedding. Needless to say, everything today (Sunday) has been incredibly dulled emotionally because of the dramatic high from their wedding. I probably could have been robbed today with zero emotional effect.

I told Michael and Mara on Friday night that at least a few small things were bound to go awry on Saturday, so not to worry about it. Miraculously though, it really feels like the whole ceremony/reception ran like clockwork. I’m clearly a biased party, but it was an amazing event. You can read about the long preparation the happy couple had at michaelandmara.com .

I also had the honor of giving a short toast/speech as the Best Man. Through the amazing power of the Interweb, you can see it here on Youtube:

And certainly over the coming days there’ll be a ton of photos getting posted up, but here are a couple choice selections from Angry Ninja’s album “Mike Chou Wedding”:

Introductions at the reception. Lots of blue.

Chocolate fountain at the reception is always a crowd-pleaser.

The First Dance for Michael and my new sister-in-law Mara.
