Whoa! I can’t believe we’re already into June! Last month flew by so quickly…and the last few weeks have been incredibly busy for us.
Our NorCal trip was great…it’s always good to be back to the place that feels like “home” and to be reunited with those I miss and love. Every day kept me busy…whether it be running errands, partaking in wedding rehersal/dinner, or driving the bride-to-be around.
After what felt like ages of meticulous planning and preparing, culminated to one very special day last last Saturday – my best friend’s wedding!
It was such a momentous occassion for so many. I cherished, reflected, laughed, cried, celebrated, and cried some more.
The entire day (beginning at 7am) the groom and his groomsmen treated us bridesmaids like princesses, and Bett like a Queen. With all the spoiling and pampering, I almost felt like it was my wedding. 
I believe everyone felt the same way. Bett and Chew had a breathtaking ceremony and reception that was intimate, beautiful, and catered to each and every guest. It’s hard for me to put into words how I felt and what it meant to me. Having been a bridesmaid 8 times already, this was my first time being the matron-of-honor….and what an honor it was! I felt extremely proud and overjoyed to stand alongside Bett on her wedding day. For months I fretted over my speech…not wanting to be too sappy, or too casual, or too long-winded. Not to mention, I am terrified and horrible at public speaking. But with Sarah’s help, my speech was accompanied by a fun slideshow to help convey my sentiments. 
Ashlyn also did a wonderful job as flowergirl. At her tender age of 4, she’s got 5 weddings under her belt! This was the first wedding, however, that she stood up at the alter throughout the entire ceremony (20 minutes). Although I did feel her flower-wand poking my butt….twice! HAHAHA!
Again, CONGRATS to the happy couple!
With 2 big weddings (Patrick & Karen’s and Bett & Chew’s) over with, I thought we would revert back to our quite days, but I was wrong.
After returning from our NorCal trip, my days have been busy (hence the delay in updates). We celebrated Ed’s Birthday, went to an Angels game, dinners with friends and family, attended Ashlyn’s Kindergarten Welcome, enjoyed a hot summer night at Disneyland, Nicholas’ Birthday party, and Wey & Gina’s LA reception.
I’m still neck deep in laundry and the house is a blown-up mess, but I finally finished uploading over 1,500 pictures (my camera and Aric’s combined). *whew!*
Hopefully this week will be more relaxing.
