Awkward anniversary

July 31 will forever be an emotional day for me. The day was pretty uneventful — woke up late, skipped the gym, went to work — but I was kind of in turmoil most of the day.

See, five years ago on July 31, Trinity and I were married, which was one of the best moves I ever made. Five years later, we love each other as much, if not more, as the day we exchanged those vows. Not only that, we’re excitedly expecting our first baby. I kind of wished we could have taken the day off and spent the time together, but we didn’t plan ahead and Trinity, boy scout that he is, didn’t want to call in sick. (I hope they appreciate that!)

Wedding in Malibu

Jinah and Matt's weddingAfter several months of back-and-forth wedding planning over email with Jinah, she is now a married woman, after a spectacular wedding at a Malibu house — more like a mansion, but you know, that’s semantics.

The wedding itself was very beautiful, the ceremony done by a very funny AAJA San Diego chapter veteran by the name of Lee Ann Kim.

A token request

One of my most loyal Wedding Decorator readers and content providers, Shruti, who’s also a great buddy, had a request recently.

She’s looking for a pair of old school Los Angeles MTA tokens for her wedding come July, to make into cufflinks. She’s not the first to come up with this idea — Etsy has a somewhat affordable pair for sale, ready made. Anyway, I’d like to come up with these tokens, since she’s such a great friend, and I’m hoping someone in the L.A. blogosphere can help me out.

If anyone can pass on a pair of these tokens, I have an old school, L.A. broadcast item of interest I can trade. Let me know!
