So I just got back from Kyle and Em's wedding. It was quite a lovely affair. The ceremony took place in a beautiful church overlooking a lake with a volcano and the reception took place at an awesome resort again with a beautiful view and an open bar. One of the highlights of the ceremony was Kyle giving his vows in both Tagalog and English. During the reception Kyle teased us with the proposition of singing a love song in Tagalog but then he got nervous and chickened out. I think it is safe to say that everyone had a great time and the new couple looked extremely happy. All in all it was a great weekend. Also, Kyle wore makeup (see below).

As we were taking the cord off, I leaned over and whispered into into Kyle's ear . . . `Pepsi'.

We waited at one stoplight for precisely 29 minutes without moving an inch. People were not happy.
