The whole family is gathering here in Orange County for Colin's wedding. Nolan will be the last to arrive this afternoon and the weekend events really kick off with dinner and drinks here at our house tonight. Should be fun and I'm sure very busy. A lot of names to be remembered as we're all introduced to the extended Shah family.
Everything has gone smoothly so far, with the minor exception that my dress was accidentally left back in Pennsylvania. But Pete and Denise, family/work friends, retrieved it and are bringing it with them today. So as long as Nolan arrives, I think we'll be ok. I know I'm going to be crying the whole wedding; I can't help it because everything is just so beautiful. Colin looks great in his sherwani and of course, Sarina will be stunning in her outfit. It's hard to believe that Colin will be married after this weekend. I don't think much will actually change; he and Sarina have been together for a few years so it's not like we're not used to them as a couple. I guess we've all been anticipating this for awhile so now it seems unbelievable that it's already here. I kind of wish I were still in Philly so I could be around for this year while Colin and Sarina live there but I'll just have to lure them to Vancouver. I now Colin would love it there and I think Sarina could get on board too.
Anyway, the flight down to LA from YVR (Vancouver's airport code) is easy. Just 3 hours. Plus the Canada Line for the Skytrain makes my life so much easier. Getting to and from the airport is a dream now. The apartment is much improved with a loveseat and a scavenged desk and some lamps. More work to be done but at leas it looks like somebody lives there. When John rolls into town, I think I'll hang some pictures. Hopefully we can find some yard sales to go to though I don't know what it'll be like on Labour Day weekend.
More to come after the weekend festivities!
