A Wedding in Los Angeles

Honululu, Hawaii

I have a question folks… where in Manila can I get the best Spam Musubi?  Or can I get it at all? You see they had tons of these served at the picnic after the ceremony, before the reception.  You heard right, Elaine and Rem had a picnic in Waikiki before they had cocktails and [...]

A Wedding in Kauai, Hawaii

What are weddings in this paradise on earth made of ?

Laguna Beach, California. Ooooh K. Seriously, [...]

Lesley and Mark: SDE [...]
