fun weekend!
May. 18th, 2009 07:07 amfriday night, since our house concert was postponed, some of my peeps were generous enough to come over and eat and drink all this food and booze we had bought for the occasion. it was such a gorgeous night for hanging out on the deck and drinking wine... unfortunately at least 1 of the 4-5 bottles we consumed was downed by yours truly. my pounding head was not happy with me the next morning.
somehow i managed to shake off the hangover and head up to north jersey with jack for his cousin's wedding. actually, it was half of a wedding -- they had gotten married last weekend in CA with her friends and family, so this weekend was a reception his friends and family. we still filled a catering hall, and danced to a local band they'd hired called "drunk uncle bob" (best band name ever). they did a cute thing where the tables, instead of being numbered, were all named after favorite movies of theres... so you had to take your table name (we were "mary poppins") and find the DVD case to find your table. it was pretty funny once the band started announcing table names to go up to the food stations to eat -- "mary poppins, you can now head to the buffet..." "beer fest, you can now head to the buffet..." heh.
jack's dad got us all rooms at a local hotel (yay), and there was a wedding there we all wanted to crash. the patel/patel wedding (yes, that's right) was an extravaganza straight out of a bollywood movie... an all-day event with various meals and receptions, filled with some of the most beautiful, colorful clothes i've ever seen. the whole lobby was a swirl of saris in every color of the rainbow, trimmed in sequins and beads, with piles of gold jewelry dancing from ears and wrists. even the men were decked out, i saw one man in a tunic/pants combo made of baby blue and pale green iridescent dupioni silk, and i was like, WANT. we all agreed that someone needs to have a bollywood-themed wedding, just so we'd have an excuse to have such beautiful clothes made.
yesterday was more relaxing -- chores, a trip to the mall, sushi at my favorite place. started today off with a trip to the gym, and i'm hoping this awesome feeling motivates me to keep going at 5am instead of sleeping in. :)
