Real quick, I have to start off with an advertisement:
THE PICKS – Year 11
The Picks, since 1995, has been a premier NFL Pick ‘em league in the world. Run by yours truly, we have had dozens of people that have enjoied the picks experience. It started with six people writting their picks on a weekly schedule cut from the newspaper, and has evolved into the technological marval we all know today. To join, all you need is a Yahoo ID. We will be using a confidence-based (drop lowest week) pick system.

And now, the wedding of Pelly and Kat.
Everyone was looking quite dapper, if I do say so myself, especially the bride and groom. Just a little history for those of you out of the loop: Kelly and I took 20+ classes together in undergrad. Pat was one of our TAs for Paleontology and Metamorphic Petrology. That’s how they met.
Enjoy it while you can, a very rare pic of me dressed formally. On the right is my better half, Alysen.
Here is the one and onlySheila and boy-of-the-weekChris.
Here is the always suave Andy and Sexy Pants herself, Shirley.
Here are the geologists basking in the light of our geologyness. How nerdy are us geologists? As party favors/centerpieces, every table had a hand sample that was given away. Alysen won our table’s (which was conviently right next to the open bar) rock, which was a beautiful garnet schist.
We had heard that there would be a ‘surprize’ at the reception. The surprize=Mason! One of our long lost geology buddies from UCLA fresh from finnishing Law School. He gave me a CD full of ugrad pics that I will sample to you all next time.
The reception, held at the ritzy, glamourous, and famous Claremont Resort & Spa, was great. Kelly wore this really cool hand-made kimono. The flower-toss was entertaining, with Amy (Kelly’s sister) giving the forearm-shiver to several people for the bouquet. It was a great time, and I wish I could be at Nadia’s wedding this weekend. It’s just wedding after wedding after wedding! Must be some ratings ploy…
P.S. You have to check out Jeremy’s hurricane saga, it’s something else.

Everyone looks so nice and happy! Weddings can be fun, despite the awful ones we were all dragged to as small children.
yes quite dapper I must say…hmmm yess yesss
Cool wedding pics. Nothing wrong with dressing up every now and then. If it’s ok with you, I’ll put out the word on my Xanga that you and Chris are looking for people to participate in the NFL picks, fantasy football, and fantasy hockey games.
Ajax is a cool team. Edgar Davids and Ruud Van Nistelroy started their careers on that club I believe. The closest thing I have to a favorite Dutch team is PSV Eindhoven but only because DaMarcus Beasley plays for them.
i’m glad you had an awesome time! DUDE you guys all need to send us your pictures!!!!!!!!!
That wedding looked like it was a blast.
Definately a glamorous, geology-nerdy blast!
Shameless plug. *smh*. With that said…random dudes/dudettes…we need Fantasy football/hockey players…hit me up for the details. JAJAJA.
Why is it that Sheila and Kelly look buffer then any of us guys? Scary.
Hahahah…so your better half is the air around you? You said “on your right”. Other right, Matt.
i second pezzam… wedding looked fun!
