GLEEKS!

As part of our bridal shower gift to our friend, we surprised her with a ticket to the Glee concert! My friends are bigger Gleeks and in order to keep the show a surprise, we had to tell her tickets were sold out so she wouldn't buy her own. (We did great with keeping this up.) And we weren't the oldest ladies there either! I also ordered a 24 oz. beer and giggled when they poured it into a plastic cup, complete with lid and straw, for safety purposes.

For the entire set we screamed, sang, and danced. My favorite performance was, of course, The Warblers covering Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream". (Hellooooooooooo, Darren Criss!) The show was a blast!

Another one of my closest friends has tied the knot!

After a traditional Vietnamese tea ceremony and a (never-ending) Catholic ceremony, in which we were all confused and had to pack in like sardines at one point, the bridal party was taken by stretch limo around the wonderful city of Brotherly Love for photos. They wanted to incorporate murals in their photos, which turned out beautifully, and the venue, the Tendenza in Northern Liberties, rolled out the red carpet for our arrival.

Fun fact: the DJ read Lan-anh's name at her high school graduation as her Vice Principal!

(And good luck keeping up with the bride's side of the family - they are dancing machines!)

It was a modern and fun wedding - congratulations to Lan-anh and (future Dr.) Eric Larsen!
