Melanie & Willis's Wedding

In the great bridal spectrum, most brides fall into the average to below average category...they're the best they've ever looked...but it's still...meh......they're a pigeon disguised as a seagull.

The average DK bride is generally above average or top 10%. These brides radiate beauty, elegance, and general splendor on a daily basis. They are the flawless doves of brideland.

And then there's Melanie. The great white swan bride.



Mel was put on this earth to wear a wedding dress. Definitely a 1%-er.

Literally, when the doors opened and she walked into the room escorted by DK2 (her big brudder), there was a collective gasp.




(I've heard gasps before, but usually it's because someone trips and falls down some stairs.)

Megoon was a beautiful bridesmatron.



The ceremony was cute. The reverend yelled at the photographer for not sitting during his sermon.

"But I'm the photographer!" she whined...
He just shrugged... "Please sit."

Normally if I'm working, I HATE a strict rev, but in this case, as a guest, I grinned from ear to ear. The photographer had yelled at me when she accidentally backed her head into my camera while I taking a shot. "You have to keep at least TWO FEET AWAY FROM ME!!!") We could have been friends. But instead she chose to be enemies. Bad choice, lady.

Ahem.

Back to the wedding.

SO cute!






I just love Megoon's family.



DK2, what a hunk!



Between the ceremony and reception we had a 40-minute break. So Goon's brilliant brother and sister suggested we run to the closest CVS to get a print of an epic shot I had just taken at the ceremony.



Imagine the gleeful expression below except looking at the framed photo I had just given them. It was pretty much the same.



Oooh! There was a fun photo booth. I've decided to add a photobooth service as an an add-on to my wedding package. So easy and I can probably charge an extra 1K-1.5K. Woo!




I had also taken Mellis's engagement pic, which was prominently displayed. Yay....



Ohhhh after eating and dancing, there was a PIE BAR.



LOVES a pie barrrrr!!!!!!!!



The photobooth got kinda silly.



Oooh I think I may be shooting a Miami wedding for Hot Keith (below) and his fiance. Yayyyyy...



Loves fancy weddings leading to other fancy weddings!



Oh...I forgot to mention the entire day was INCREDIBLY SCORCHINGLY HOT.




But once we were drunky, it didn't matter.





Meg's mom got stepped on and rolled her ankle. Sadface. (I do love how DK2's mom seems to think it's hilarious though.)



Wheeeee!!!!



Air guitars!



Geek glasses!



The End.

Congratulations Mellis!!!!!

Willis's 30th Birthday | Atlantic City!

For Willis's 30th Birthday we headed down to Atlantic City.

The festivities took place at The Borgata Hotel and Casino starting with a delicious dinner in the private dining room at Sea Blue.




Not sure what the deal with the menus was. Apparently some intern got lazy...



But we got a kick out of how it listed four different sections of first courses and said, "Happy Birthday 'Willis'".



I had a tuna tartare with a raw quail egg which I smartly scraped off because eating raw tuna in Atlantic City is already questionable enough...in the end the raw egg is probably what gave DK2 food poisoning later in the evening...



Megoon's scrimps came with a little thing of tabasco.



What a lovely family.



The best course was by far the lobster bisque it arrived with the lobster chunks and quacamole and other stuff.



And then they poured the bisque-y-ness on top of it.



Ohhhhh I would go all the way back just for this bisque.



And then I had the chicken.



And "Willis" got a special cake that made all our mouths black.




We reapplied makeup...



And then it was off to the club.




At the club some Snooki clone accosted me and kept calling me Jackie Chan and making me karate chop her friend.



They played lots of fun poppy hits.



And I taught the Kaminskis some fun Asian poses.



Also DK2 and I tried to come up with a good DK hand symbol.

He disguises his misery well. He had 2nd degree food poisoning and may or may not have just vomited in the bathroom.



Yuck.



Oh my there is much trash to be seen in the Jerz.





I made the MellyKam and MeggyKam get up on the box to bring a little class and hotness to the place.





They could not get enough of the Asian poses.









After dancing we stumbled our way back into the casino...



Here are some lovely shots of me and Willis and DK2 posing proudly with hard-earned hundred dollar bills that were no longer in our possession less than a minute later.




Yeah, we decided to play roulette and bet everything on black.

Oops.




And then we went to fatburger and had some secret off-menu chicken strips.




Fun first trip to Atlantic City!

Happy 30th Birthday "WILLIS"!!!!!




Eeeeek!!!!!!!!! I turn 30 in exactly one week!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EEEEEEEEEKKKKK!!!!!!!
