I was also fortunate enough to attend the wedding of a friend this Sunday on Catalina Island. Me and Connie took a boat trip out to the island (a very expensive boat trip) and i forgot that she gets seasick but luckily she was pretty much okay riding there and back. Catalina is supposed to be exquisitely beautiful and i had heard alot about it so i was kind of excited about going out there. That plus the fact that this was the first "MY friend" wedding that i would attend made me look forward to the experience. As it turned out, the day was overcast and it rained during the service, which was kind of sad but also kind of unique and i found an odd romantic bent to the rain. I also uncharacteristically felt pretty moved by the power of watching two people say their vows and dedicate their lives to each other. Catalina reminded me alot of Capri, with it's high hills and little colorful buildings along the boardwalk and up the slopes. On a sunny day i think Catalina would be a pretty dope place to spend the day.



The wedding was alot smaller than i anticipated and it was a little strange because i felt incredibly out of place among only twenty or so people, most of whom were family and relatives. The whole vibe of the dinner made me feel like i was at one of my family's Christmas or New Year's parties. I felt quite honored actually to be included as a guest among so many relatives. One highlight of the night was meeting a friend of Jimmy's from UCLA (he was a cousin of the bride) and we exchanged stories of Jimmy's life in SD and LA.



Anyhow, thanks to Jill for inviting me and congratulations to Mr and Mrs Daniel Dubbeld.
