07.09.10

We took off for San Francisco this past weekend to celebrate the wedding of two of our friends from b-school.  It was an early morning flight and, as I am only comfortable getting to the airport at least one hour early (post-security), we had plenty o' time for a breakfast of champions.
Our friends Scott and Marisa just (literally, just!) moved to SF and sweetly lets us crash at their place for the weekend.  They rented an adorable walk-up in the Mission and, while they are still waiting on all their worldly possessions to arrive, it is going to be a fantastic abode.  Unfortunately, Marisa was in New Orleans celebrating her bachelorette but thankfully Scott makes for a good host and we loved every minute of exploring their new world.
The wedding was held at one of the most beautiful churches I've ever seen - Saints Peter and Paul in Washington Square - and the same church where Marilyn Monroe married Joe DiMaggio!  It was so fun to see their families and how happy everyone was for the couple.  Jeng has been courting Eileen since she was 13 and so all their friends know each other which makes for a fun ceremony and reception.  
Me with the happy couple.
The couple with the happy couple!
Why I felt the need to the sorority squat, I don't know.  Eileen and I have never matched up -- she's tiny even in four-inch heels!
Apparently taco trucks are a big deal in Cali and at 11 pm they had one show up to the reception.  It was such a good snack and so-fitting of this foodie pair!
DC entertaining us all with the photo booth accessories.

As the wedding was on Friday, we spent the rest of the weekend eating and shopping for vintage furniture.  
These are Dave's favorite - Kofod Larsen chairs with original upholstery in Baylor Bear colors!
Altschuler recommended a deep dish pizza place in Berkeley that did not disappoint this pizza-loving crew.  Overall we had a fantastic (albeit quick) trip that gave us a much-needed break from all the homework-doing, job-hunting, and move-prepping that has been going on lately.  These next two weeks will be crazy but then it is time for Texas!
