What The World Needs Now...

Soooo...more about the madness of Saturday...

I can't believe Matt and Libs are finally...Finally parents! we'd been heckling them for 2 weeks and telling her she should just pop the darn thing out already...and now it's finally happened! yay! I'm so happy for them! we're gonna go to the midwifery tomorrow, I think, to see them and him...I wonder what they're gonna name him...

Wade Wilson...and Ilya Wilson have been thought over...but we'll see...frankly, I'm not crazy about them, hahaha...but hey, it's not my kid, right? haha...

And Ayony...oh Ayony!

The wedding was super fun...super Super fun!

4 of Tony's friends from home, another from China (who's workin there), and his big brother and parents made it over here for the wedding (again, a really darn good turnout!!), and everyone was so happy and talkin and sharing stories on the trouble Tony would get into as a kid, haha...it was a really great time...

Too...much...drinking...though...haha...

wedding reception nomihodai...starting at 6:30
after party at a Jbar nomihodai...
