I can't describe in words how much I love wedding festivities! Who can't get behind a week-long party in the name of love? Beyond the endless celebrations, there is nothing quite like seeing somebody you love take the next step in their life. I felt honored to take part in the experience and to be surrounded by people who are like family to me. That said, the word 'matron' is nothing I want to be associated with again anytime soon. Doesn't it sound like somebody horribly old?

I spent the week ballin' in Baltimore with my college friends. Since all the girls live extremely far away in various countries, we try and marry somebody off at least once a year. It's a great excuse to get everyone together.

The wedding week was absolutely lovely: lots of girl time, sight-seeing in MD, crab cakes around every corner, a wild night out, and one amazingly stunning bride. So whose turn is it next?

Spent a few weeks relaxing in the CA sun, spending time with my fam, and getting ready for my coast-to-coast wedding tour of the United States: jet-setting from the Bay to Baltimore and back to Berkeley.
