And the reason for the trip to Chicago… Janice and Todd’s wedding!!
Despite Janice’s warning that she’d be grumpy waking up for hair+makeup at 7am, the morning–and the entire day, in fact–went off without a hitch. I mean, except Todd and Janice getting hitched. (Haha!) It was a beautiful day, lots of love. It was also my first time as a bridesmaid, which was so. much. fun! You get all the inside action, without any of the anxiety that comes from being the bride! I tried to be a good maid, knowing it was for a limited time only… carrying Janice’s purse, chauffeuring her relatives (kudos to Eric), trailing, fluffing, bustling her… shoe-ing, bathrooming, running to get the limo in place-ing… smiling, hugging, not tearing up-ing… it was truly an honor! Janice and Todd, congratulations again and may God bless you and give you many hapa haole kids, in due time… your mom’s words, not mine!!
