Silly Saturday

These are a few sneak peeks from the wedding photographer. Mom loves this one.

and this one...

Thursday Catch-Up

Mom is wicked tired. She did the washing machine shuffle yesterday and went food hunting but mostly she lay on the couch watching tennis on TV. Naturally I was close by, purring. Mom didn't get the flashy box out, so I thought I would show you some pictures from our trip.

 We got ice cream and cupcakes in Manhattan Beach.

Yoda relaxing in a cool spot. (It was hot in LA.)

The beans went out to eat real live dead raw fish.  I did not come because I do not like fish.

(Mim-may tripped and fell the first day, scratched her glasses and got a black eye. So in some pictures her face looks funny. Maybe you noticed it. A very good make-up artist made her look beautiful for the wedding day.)

 This flower was in bloom at Mr Karate's place. Isn't it pretty?

Saying Goodbye

Before Mr Karate and Rubylocks left for their honeymoon, they took a last look at the place where the reception was held. Mr Karate took Rubylocks's hand, led her down to the patio and they danced while he whistled "La Vie en Rose."  How romantic!

Then Mr Karate and Mom had to say goodbye to each other.

After all the kissing business was over, we drove down the mountain and back to the City of Angels

where Mom and Mim-may stopped to have terrific bowl of Pho. Mom ate it. I didn't.

We stayed in a hotel overnight. I can't wait to get home and get out of this outfit.

I wonder what my Sleep Number is?

The Day After

We spent the day after the wedding talking,

(17 people went out for brunch, including the bride and groom, who decided to enjoy their guests before leaving for their honeymoon.)

and eating.

 (Mom really loved this salsa verde.  Me, not so much.)

And looking at pictures we took of the wedding.

and relaxing with friends afterwards,

and enjoying the transformation of Mr Karate from shaggy

to stylishly trim and chic.

Mom's brothers and sister have left for their homes. Mr Karate and Rubylocks (who doesn't want to be called Mrs K) will leave on their honeymoon later today.

The Big Day

Yesterday was The Big Day. The day Mr Karate and Rubylocks got married.

 

Mom got her hair done.

Mr Karate got his hair cut. (Here he is with his uncle, Mr Cabinetmaker.)

Everybody got dressed up.

Even me.

(However I was very upset to see this pretty bow was designed for -gasp- woofies.)

This is the first time since 1998 that Mim-may has had all four of her children in the same place at the same time.

This is Mr Karate and his cousins, PlusOne and Pretty Girl.

Mr Karate cried when Rubylocks came into view. PlusOne was the Best Man.

Rubylocks was beautiful. The day was perfect.

I was in attendance, as you can see.

Mom took this selfie.

Everybody had a good time.

Me too.

Planning Ahead

Mr Karate & Rubylocks have asked Mom to cook something when the Big Fam gets together for The Big Day. (Which by the way, will take place here.) The Big Fam will be together for several days, and Mom will make this for dessert one evening.

It is chocolate between two pieces of toasted angel food cake.  It is a crowd-pleaser and very easy to make. Mom and I posted about it several years ago, and you can see how it is made here.

This is how good Mom things it is.    (She loves it even though she is making a funny face.)

 It does indeed smell quite wonderful, but I cannot have chocolate. I asked Mom if we could change things up a bit and replace the chocolate with, say BEEF, or 'Nip...

Mom said NO WAY. Thus I am giving her the butt of shame.

Wedding Day!

My tuxie pal (and nose twin) Adan's mom is getting married today! Michico and Arion are getting married. Go on over and with them Concatulations!

I'll be teleporting over later party with Adan and Lego. Any other wedding crashers want to come with me?
