it's all over :(

where does the time go? a week ago i couldn't believe how much stuff there was to do before geoff and sunny's wedding. and today i can't believe the wedding's actually over. i remember all the details from their wedding day, here are some highlights......

(sorry for the random placement of the pictures.....not sure why i can't move them :P)

• us girls getting our hair and make-up done in the morning while a curious seagull perched on the windowsill, hoping for a morsel of our breakfast.
• helping sunny get into her wedding dress. she looked absolutely beautiful!
• the tea ceremony, where i was caught off-guard by the emotion in the room. tissue anyone?
• singing in the limo en route to the church.
• it was a little deja-vu when i walked down the aisle at canadian memorial :-) it was even weirder when chris and i walked out of the church arm-in-arm (have we gone back in time?).
• the photo sessions at coal harbour and the library. their photographer was absolutely crazy. i loved him! however, i was afraid to be near him after he almost jumped on my feet at the hotel earlier when he tried to get a shot. it's a little weird when random ppl want to take pictures of you as well.
• seeing the boys carry geoff for a picture. "turn him!" "turn him?" "turn him!" "what?!" ah yes, that moment still makes me laugh!
• the tea ceremony for very important family members.
• eating, eating and more eating.....i didn't even get to try all the courses, i got so full! the cake was delicious! chocolate cake with (i think) chocolate icing inside, and finished with a fondant icing and topped with burgundy calla lillies. i wish i had room for seconds!
• the speeches......the lowe's, the yang's, wilson and brigette all made nice speeches and toasts to geoff and sunny. true testaments to how wonderful these two are, and how much we all care about them and their future together :-)
• geoff and sunny's joint speech to their parents and to us, the bridal party. when sunny talked about brigette and me, it brought tears to our eyes. little happy tears that got stuck in the corners of our eyes :-)
• and then the dancing! oh yes, the dancing! my feet were killing me by the time we hit the floor, but the music was totally hot, and we wanted to party! there were a lot of sweaty bodies, and perhaps a little too much closeness at some points. at least wilson kept some of his clothes on :-) as for my own husband, i can't even begin to explain what he was doing on the dance floor!
• did i mention the drinking?! craziness! insanity! 'nuf said!

and then all too soon, the night was over. geoff is heading back to toronto now, and sunny's spending a few more days in vancouver w/her parents and relatives from atlanta and argentina. and now i can kick back and relax. my duties are (almost) over, and now i have nothing but free time on my hands. what should i do next? as sunny wisely said to me last year when she asked me to help coordinate her wedding, "i (tres) need a project!" stayed tuned, you never know what i'll come up w/next!

geoff and sunny, all the best for a long and happy marriage! now, when are you coming back to vancouver FOR GOOD?!?! :-)
