i forgot to mention how "chinese" i was at the wedding/reception. after everything was over, erming allowed us to raid the table decorations, so annie, jeanette, joyce, and i took home a bunch of peach and cream roses and gerber daisy arrangements! wahoo for free stuff - especially gerber daisies - because they're like the happiest flowers on earth! hooray for gerber daisies! and the wedding favors were cool too, magnets with photos of james and joana on them, as if they were color film negatives. and for being wedding helpers, they gave us presents. yay!
