Mr. and Mrs. Chow

This weekend Dave and I attended a very good friend's wedding in SF. We are both so incredibly happy for the happy couple. And it is so great to see my good friend Brian finally find someone who is worthy of his amazing spirit and generosity. Congrats you guys!

Now while the wedding was beautiful as expected, the reception was less... well, let's just say less. The reception was held at a Chinese Seafood restaurant in Union City. Now if you have ever been to this style of dinner, you will understand the difficulty we experienced at our table. Let's just say that there is a giant Lazy Susan in the middle of the table, which holds all the food and drinks. So, with every turn, I held my breath in anticipation of mess about to erupt upon any one of the ten guests seated at our table. And... as luck would have it.. Dave was the one on the receiving end. And it's not even a good story... nothing that includes a fun or drunken activity... just a stupid, clumsy waiter who decided to pile more food onto the spinning Lazy Susan, in the process, knocking the single glass of red wine on the table into Dave's lap! And all the waiter had to say was (imagine in a Chinese accent), "Oh! So Sorry! Be careful!"  What? Be careful? Really? he was telling Dave to be careful? And no offer to even bring Dave a glass of water, a new glass of wine or even a clean napkin to replace his that had been soaked in grape goodness. So, poor Dave didn't even dare to get up from his chair the entire night (which meant no break dancing!). 
But in case you are wondering, that stuff you see late night on TV called Oxy Clean.... it works! Good thing too.... we told Brian that they could expect to see a dry cleaning bill waiting upon their return from their honeymoon:)
