A bird's eye view


Here we are at the Shang-ri-la Hotel for our reception.


Ain't we cute?

The Wedding Planner


Let's give it up to Mamie, who helped to plan most of our wedding. Also pictured is Jake.

The Wedding Party

Here is some video footage of the wedding party (the majority of it anyway):

Lost in Manila


Now here's a story. I was forbidden to see Myla as she was leaving the hotel, even though I was able to sneak a peek with the help of hotel mirrors. I was supposed to go to the church with the bridal party, but they left without me! Then Marc and Nasser were going to take me, but they left the car keys in the hotel room, with no way to get in the room! So I felt it necessary to get my own taxi. Nobody from the hotel would help me, so I had to find one on my own. I finally found an Airport Taxi, and I said "Can you please take me to my wedding?" He said, "Sorry, airport only." I replied, "But it's an emergency." He said okay, but only after running across the street to a traffic officer to ask directions. I finally got there, 15 minutes early and in one piece. I gave the guy 20 bucks, I think that's pretty good for a one mile trip...

Catch a ride

Here's some footage of Myla going down the stairs of the hotel to the bridal car, a white Mercedes:

Isn't she lovely?


Here's Myla all dressed up and ready to go for the big day.

Bachelor Party

On the night before the wedding, my dad and assorted family members took me to see "The Moonstrucks," a 60's cover band at a Hotel. Meanwhile, Myla hung out at the Shangri-La Hotel with her friends. I only got 3 hours of sleep that night, and I think it showed.

Without a Trace


"Hey, where did you go? Oh, there you are."

Really semi-formal

For some reason I did not bring my formal suit to the photo shoot. Hey, that rhymes. But my wife-to-be does look very lovely here.

"What? You want me to bite her ear off? I'm not doing that."
