A Wedding Reception in a Chinese Restaurant

It's 0117hours and I am tapping this into my phone while I sit under what's left of Robson Square post-Olympics. A dance troupe is practising on the other side of the former ice rink and I am in my pretty clothes... I've just come from a wedding reception held in a Chinese Restaurant only a few blocks from my house.

Merry Wang, an old friend of Noreen's from way back finally got around to marrying her boyfriend and she was kind enough to let me come along so I could see her in her pretty dresses (I love weddings!)

This isn't a self-reflective post or anything like that. I was just reminded tonight about how I don't blog enough anymore and I thought that this was a perfect excuse.

Merry was stunning in her wedding dress. The reception seems to have gone off well, and everyone seems to have had fun. I even ran into Katie Rife, a girl I knew back in high school who followed a similar path to my own: she got the hell out of this place and moved somewhere exciting, only to return later, unsure of what to do with her life. While for me it was writing code in Toronto, for her it was getting a Masters in percussion in San Francisco, but I get the feeling that we're in much the same boat.

My brother did the music for the night. (I got in as his "assistant") and I got to spend some time with Noreen as well which was nice because I've missed her. I'll see her again for a Noreen-centric shindig on Monday though. I hear she's bringing me some Cap'n Crunchberries from Americaland!

That's all to report at the moment. It's just nice see people you care about being happy :-)
