We had our company Holiday Party last Friday. It was in Newport Beach again, on another one of those harbor cruises. We all had a blast. We, of course, found some way to bypass the two ticket drink MAXIMUM that they were TRYING to put on us... and yes, they finally had CHAMPAGNE! This time around, we had a DJ, so they were playing some fun songs for us to shake our money makers to. Some time over the course of the party, my gorgeous fiance was able to show off his skillz as a white boy, which impressed everyone from the VP of Sales to... well... everyone. (Mind you, he was not even drunk) But even better... our CEO, found out that Cory LOVES to sing. How, I have NO IDEA, but that information some how made its way to public knowledge. And just as I thought that Cory couldn't show off his willingness to be a HAM any more... the DJ coerced him into singing "Brown-Eyed Girl"... to me... in front of the entire company. Needless to say, if I wasn't filipino, you'd be able to see some shade of red creep up my neck and onto my face. You know me, I HATE being the center of attention... I have no idea how I'm going to do this wedding thing! But in the end, it was the sweetest thing... and I'm glad that we have proof of it. (Rumor has it - there's a video running around here somewhere) Yet now he seems to think that he can headline the wedding... hm.
Afterwards, when the boat docked, we hit up the Shamrock... AGAIN. Had a BLAST!
Anyhoo... so we've slowed down a little on the wedding plans since it's the holidays. And we pretty much got everything done over the past two months. The only major things we have left are the rehearsal dinner location, the invitations, and we have to book the honeymoon. We are debating on St. Lucia or Tahiti... any suggestions? We just booked the officiant. We were pretty lucky to like the first one we met with. His name is Reverend Christopher Torres... he's got a great personality that will fit the type of upbeat, yet romantic ceremony that we want. And he also gave us some cool ideas of different things to do in the ceremony.
We are heading back east for the holidays! Supa excited! We are doing the big meet of the parents... meaning, our parents are meeting each other for the first time! We're still trying to figure out where, but it will most likely be somewhere in Little Italy. We're flying into DC/Virginia to spend time with my family, then we'll head to Elmhurst and have Christmas with the Smith's, then head to NY for the Meet The Parents... then my aunt is throwing us an engagement party! YAY! Oh yeah, and somewhere in there, we are going to a Christmas party back in PA so I can meet all of Cory's friends! It'll be a busy trip, but fun and well worth it.
We look forward to seeing all of you this holiday season. However if we don't, have a wonderful Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Christmukah, Festivus, Holiday Season... and a prosperous, healthy, and Happy New Year... YEAH 2009! We love you all!
PS - only 4 1/2 more months to go... HOLY CRAPBALLS! =)
