Day 129: Wedding Lunch at Joy Luck

Today's images are the final ones I will be posting from my cache of Steve's and Summer's wedding festivities of two-and-a-half weeks ago. There are several more that have not made it here onto my blog that can be viewed on my Facebook page, in case you are interested in seeing them.

The bride's and groom's (and their parents') table at Joy Luck:

Ben accompanies Steve on "You Send Me" during the talent portion of the lunch:

I also participated by doing another dramatic reading, at the groom's request. My subject this time was Air Supply's "Lost in Love," and I think it went over rather well.

Day 126: Kenna Hijacks My Camera, Part III

Some of the best photos that were snapped at Steve's and Summer's wedding lunch at Joy Luck (other than the professional photographer's, of course, which we have yet to see) were, not surprisingly, not taken by me but by my mischievous little eight-year-old niece McKenna, who again "borrowed" my camera and who has already demonstrated here on Disconcertingly Choppy that she has a keen eye for taking pictures.

Here are some of the best ones IMHO:

Kenna also included this self-portrait:

Day 66: A Fistful of Wontons

One of the benefits of doing a majority of my work from home is that I have a flexible-enough schedule to go out to lunch when the occasion demands it. Well, the occasion demanded it today, and at my parents' invitation, I got to enjoy another great meal at Joy Luck, our local favorite Chinese eatery. It was my first time ordering the sesame beef plate, which was delicious.


In addition, our lunch included this plate of scrumptious wontons, which was good enough to take a picture of and write today's post about.

No need to thank me.

Day 59: Gift Boxes

The last picture of Ben and Adi's wedding that I'll post - here on Disconcertingly Choppy and as part of Project 366, anyway - is of one of the many gift boxes that were handed out at the wedding luncheon to the guests who attended.

Each box included chocolate and other goodies - a classy touch and a nice end to two consecutive days' worth of an unforgettable family celebration.

Day 58: Toasting

Today's (next-to-last, I might add) wedding images are of some of the toasts that were given at Ben and Adi's post-wedding family luncheon at Joy Luck. Dad started things off by saying a few words.


Among the others who spoke were Adi's grandmother.

Day 54: McKenna Hijacks My Camera

At the wedding luncheon at Joy Luck, McKenna "borrowed" my camera and returned a few minutes later with several new pictures, including (1) this look at her cousin Jenna's wide-open mouth and (2) a shot of the two of them and their new aunt, Adi.

I think this kid definitely has a great career in front of her.

Day 28: Dinner Group at Joy Luck

Our latest mid-singles Institute-sponsored quarterly dinner group took place earlier tonight. My destination was a personal (and family) favorite, Joy Luck Chinese restaurant, in West Bountiful, where I gathered with some old friends, as well as some new ones, to enjoy a good meal.


There were 27 of us total, and the eight folks at my table included, left to right, Sheena, Pepe, Jenae, Teresa, Tiffany, yours truly, Jeanette, and Eric.

Good Chinese food and good people is always a winning combination.
