We traveled to sunny LA during Memorial Day weekend to hang out with Sandeep, Chaita, Soph, and the Mehtas and to attend Shawn and Lily's wedding.
After we got into town late Friday night, Soph woke us up bright and early Saturday morning. ("There's no Pooni in here.") We spent much of Saturday at Griffith park, having fun riding the train with Soph, picnicking with chutney sandwiches, ginger lemonade and La Verne strawberries (all courtesy of Mehta mom), and checking out the views of LA from the observatory. Saturday night we went to The Luggage Room, a cute pizza spot in Pasadena, for Sandeep's birthday dinner with friends Tony, Meena, Donnie, Kara, and Seizo.
All aboard!
"He's dirty." -- Soph
Soph was dirty too. So she took her final bath in Mehta Mom's kitchen sink:
Sunday night we were off to the wedding of Shawn (one of my Wash U freshman floormates from Ruby 3) and Lily. They had a beautiful outdoor ceremony at a hotel followed by a reception at a banquet hall attached to a Chinese restaurant. Dinner was a multi-course traditional Chinese meal, complete with a giant lazy susan on each table, and the evening's program was full of jokes and organized games. As a surprise for their guests, Shawn and Lily performed a dance routine to Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal."
When the microphone wouldn't work, Shawn did a great job of PROJECTING HIS VOICE during the vows:
Off to the Chinese restaurant ...
We somehow managed to be the first guests to arrive!
Our table: more Wash U freshman floormates.
Jessica and her beautiful family -- Soren did an amazing job sitting through a 3 hour dinner!
Whitney & Corey:
Chin Soo and his adorable family:
Yours truly:
"Annie are you ok ... are you ok, Annie?"

Soph was exhausted. But still managed to stay stylish while she slept:
