On Thursday morning, John drove me to Burbank Airport to catch an early flight to FL for Brandon & Christina’s wedding. I got there just in time for the rehearsal. Afterwards, there was a dinner at Christina’s place (now the Bach Apt). I left around 11pm to head to Emily’s to get some sleep.
Friday: woke up early (couldn’t sleep in) and met my grandma for breakfast, got a mani/pedi, went to a camera store in Miami and then met up with Christina at the reception hall to decorate. Ended up running errands for a few hours, decorating and heading back to Em’s early enough to prep for the wedding and pass out at a reasonable time.
Saturday: woke up super early and headed to Christina’s to photograph the bride / bridesmaids getting ready. Got some great shots, then headed straight to the church to get pix of the guys and the limo arriving. The ceremony was really beautiful, but the lighting was a bit dark. The formals were slightly rushed, but I got a lot of great, fun shots there too! The reception hall was well lit, but fluorescent. I still got some great shots there. It was a fun reception. The caterers were not very professional, but the room looked great and the food was excellent. Great job, Christina!
Saturday night: after the wedding, I went over to Brandon’s mom’s to drop off Christina’s car and some things from the reception hall. Em picked me up there, and we headed into downtown Ft. Laud to visit James at Fat Cat’s. We spent an hour there, then met up with Cannon, Paul & friends at Lipp’s for a drag show & dinner. Good food, good fun, good drinks! After the show, Em & I went to Le Tub for some all night Key Lime Pie! That place is like an obstacle course inside a labyrinth. Sadly, I slid over on a wooden bench and got a splinter in my ass. You know you have a great friend when they’re willing to pluck a splinter out of your butt cheek! Thanks, Em!!! She & I stayed up til after 2am chatting. I already miss her! Em is so awesome!
Sunday: woke up at 5am, Em took me to Dunkin Donuts then to the airport. I had a layover in DFW, where I relaxed in the SkyLounge (nice). I got home at noon; and, after lunch with my hottie, I passed out for a few hours. I was so exhausted all day. I could barely stay awake all day! I ended up passing out pretty early.
Overall, an excellent weekend!!!
