I didn't take any pics this weekend, so I had to get pics from the fam's facebook or instagram.
Friday
- drive down to SoCal (w/ Jaymi, Jacqueline, Tj, & Kimmie)
- stopped by Porto’s in Glendale to pick up flans & fruit tarts for Chris
- stayed in Ontario / Rancho Cucamunga area
- Comfort Suites receptionist being shady about # of people in room (ended up not being an issue, but still kinda had to )
- Gameworks - waitress was nice, but kind of ditzy, 1hr unlimited gaming, stayed till closing
- Tj locked keys in X5, luckily AAA was close. Took a while to work the flex-rod, though. kind of like drop-claw arcade game.
Saturday
- Met up with everyone at Chris’ hotel in San Bernadino. There was maybe 35 of us. We caravaned it to Chrissy’s house.
- She lives on a steep hill. Not fun walking up that, since we parked at the bottom since we were in the back of the caravan
- Their piece of land is pretty big. They have a big koi pond in the front, a swimming pool & basketball hoop in the back. Then the side of hill, they have a walkway that snakes up the hill, and they have hella plants & fruit trees. They plan on making a gazeebo at the top. It’ll have a great view.
- the engagement party traditions didn’t take too long, maybe 20 mins. but since everyone was inside the house, it got hella hot up in therr.
- groomsmen had to do a video interview (John, me, Shann, & Tj). John’s was funny but probably inappropriate. I honestly didn’t know what to say. As everyone knows, I’m not much of a talker. I brought Chris slipping in the fountain during Jacqueline’s cotillion video. Shann’s was funny too, and he brought up the knee incident on the cruise. Sounded like he gave good advice too. I don’t remember what Tj said cause I was thinking to myself, “why didn’t I give good advice like Shann?!?! i’m soo stupid!”
- super-sized jenga was fun. yeaup, I toppled the tower
- 1st round of rage cage sucked cause the ping pong balls wouldn’t bounce right
- 2nd round was way better, on a different table, but was still awkward cause then it was late and wasn’t a lot of light
- hope their family doesn’t think we’re alcoholics cause our fam went straight for the beer when we first arrived, then played rage cage & beer pong. They had to make another beer run cause we killed everything.
- uncle elcid, lol
- a couple of Chrissy’s cousins are cute, but kinda younger, like 19-20 ish. then the older ones were with someone already. but they all seemed cool
- Albert lost 2nd round of rage cage, & did not look good. thought he’d be the one to yak. but it ended up being Chris. good thing i happened to be holding zip-lock bags, which were originally meant for Albert. Side note: smart thinking with the zip-lock bags, Chrissy! Way, way ,way better than a regular plastic bag, that is, if you can aim the yak into the bag.
-Chrissy’s bro Charles los the 1st round of rage cage, ended up yakking & I think passing out for a bit before coming back later in the evening
- I’m not sure if we wore out our welcome. Party started at 2pm, the older fam left around 7ish. We ended up staying till about 11pm.
- In-N-Out drive-thru only - wait was hella long
Flip Cup - Bride vs Groom. We killed both rounds.
Sunday
- Chrissy’s mom’s homemade pho. BEST PHO EVER!!! I had to ask for no noodles, though (panaramic pic by cliff)
- Porto’s on the way home. They're not all mine, I swear!
- I Love Teriyaki for dinner
