Why San Francisco?

Aww my first blog entry. haha. Anyways, many have posed the question, Why San Francisco? San Francisco, or the Bay Area in general is near and dear to mine and Allison's hearts because it has become our home away from home throughout our relationship. Since the beginning, it has become our most frequent travel destination. No matter how many times we said, "next year we'll go somewhere else" we always seem to end up there. For me personally, I'm originally from the Bay and a lot of my family still live there. I've been going there on almost an annual basis since I was a child and even moved back there in 2002 for some time. As you may have already read on our website, it was also where I decided to propose to Allison which makes it even more special to us. Don't get me wrong, I love SD and will always represent SD, but I/we will always have a place in our heart for SF/SJ. I don't reference Chokeland because I hate the Raiders. Dr. Dre said it best, "It's all good from Diego to the Bay."

Bridesmaid Fitting

On January 17, 2009, Aria Bridal called me to inform me that a sample of the bridesmaid dress would be in and that I should come in with my bridesmaids to try on the sample before they had to return it back. So, Jackie, Roxan, Pam, Marie, Ria, Wana, Cassie, Josh, and Marielle all went to this event. (MIA: Karen who was in Las Vegas for school, Irish who was in Wisconsin for school, Rhianna who was in Nebraska for family, Jennifer who was in Hawaii for Matt's birthday, and Marissa who had family obligations - we missed you guys!)




Afterwards, we headed to Mr. Charlie's Fortune Cookie in Rancho Bernardo where I treated them to dinner. Everyone enjoyed the food and the great karaoke singers in the bar area. There was even a Ne-Yo impersonation!




Thanks for your guys' support and looking forward to many more events to bring us all together!
