Dean’s Wedding

October 8th, 2008

So last weekend I went off to Detroit to attend Dean’s wedding. Nicole didn’t come with me because her mother was coming into town to visit us for the week. It was probably a good thing since the wedding was a very traditional wedding and almost everything was in chinese (not that I understand chinese). The wedding was very nice and the bride and groom seemed to be very happy. They served a traditional chinese 9 course dinner which was fantastic and we got to enjoy all the chinese classic from the jellyfish salad to shark fin soup.

They also had servers going around offering chinese liquor which was really strong and really rough to take down. All of us were just sipping the shots that we had. Towards the tail end of the reception one of the waitresses came around and noticed that Aaron had 2 glass of the chinese liquor in front of him. She harassed aaron asking why he hadn’t finished his two shots. He told her that he’d do one if she drank the other one. Without any hesitation she grabbed one of the shot glasses and downed the whole thing without flinching. At which point our entire table burst out laughing sicne no one expected her to actually take a drink. Poor aaron then had to man up and choke down the other shot.

Anyway I had a blast in detorit even though I was in town for less than 24 hours. It was great to see all the guys again and Dean’s new wife heidi seemed very nice and good for him. We realized at the reception that we’ve know each other now for 9 years which when you think about kinda just blows me away.

Here are some pictures from the wedding:
