I managed to get some time off from orientation to fly back to Cali for my boy Ahmad's wedding. Wouldn't have missed it for the world. It's a long flight and as usual I caught the airplane sniffles but I arrived in one piece. Picked up tux and headed out with the peez to the hotel where the bridal party would be spending the night. A bunch of us went out to Dave & Buster's for some good times. It was nice to hang with Ahmad and Gia, the peez, and Nate...it'd been a while. Lots of me and Nate telling Ahmad to run for it while he still can:) (don't worry gia, I love you we just love giving Ahmad a hard time)
We played some basketball the morning of the wedding. Had to show Ahmad who the boss is one last time:) Got cleaned up and made it to the wedding. You've never seen someone sweat as much as my boy Makboul in your life (except maybe the peez). It wasn't even hot! Seriously, he had to change his shirt 3 times before the service even started. I almost started an IV on him my man was so dehydrated. The wedding was beautiful, I would expect nothing less from Gianette. Good food, good music, good friends...what more can you ask for. Two memorable things from the reception. Ahmad handling his business with the garter with Dr. Bolivar staring him down from closeby. That took guts:) And the carnage that transpired with the ensuing garter toss. Let's just say young boys should not be allowed to catch the garter or else someone's gonna get hurt. I'm just saying we almost had to call in the disaster response team to look for missing people after the dogpile. It was hilarious!
It was a great weekend. Great wedding. I am very happy for the Makbouls and love them both very much. Hard to leave again knowing this time would be for much longer.
