Bridal Dress Shopping & Ki Sushi

Today I went with my friend (the bride) and a few of her other friends bridal dress shopping or more like trying on dresses to see what suits her best. We went to New Westminster to check out 2 of the stores there. There are also a lot of other bridal shops on the same street. At both shops we found a dress that we & the bride loved. So now it is up to the bride to decide which one is the ONE. Don't have any pictures of the dresses since no pictures allowed until you purchase the dress...booo :(

In between shops we stopped for lunch. We went  to Ki Sushi which was close by. I have been to this place once in 2010 but they renovated since then. The food was ok nothing special. The service was quick for our food arriving and them coming to serve us, which was good since we only had 1/2 hr to eat before our next appointment. I love the new interior, they have some tatami rooms which is where we sat (loved it). The price was pretty good for the amount of food you get. I would maybe go back again if I am in the area but I still prefer Okoman over this place as my go to Japanese restaurant.

    Food: 4/5             Service: 5/5            Ambiance: 5/5             Price: 5/5
 

Wedding Fair & Potluck

On the weekend I went to the Wedding Fair with my friends who will be getting married in September (I am going to be there bridesmaids:) It was an interesting experience, saw some beautiful displays, awesome photographers & pretty dresses

Later after the Fair I went home to make Kimbap (korean style sushi) for the potluck at my place in the evening. For the potluck we had bacon wrapped in asparagus, shrimp & enoki mushrooms. Home-made spinach dip, kimichi, ginger & home-made tiramisu. My friend also brought over some wedding magazines so we looked though them. Fun time with friends

My friend gave me some candy from her trip to Rome in November (haven't seen her since then). The chocolate was good but the candy called "Pastiglie Digestive Dessetanti Leone" was disgusting. It smelt like soap and almost taste like it too...yike. At first I thought it was soap but I googled it and found there website...it is candy. A interesting weekend (^_^)

My brothers wedding

The wedding was quite and simple with only close family attending the signing of the papers at my parents house. The reception was a typical Chinese one with a lot of food, 10 dishes & 3 desserts including the cake. I had a good time and I'm happy for my brother & my new sister-in-law (^_^)

I helped out with there wedding by creating the wedding favor boxes for the guests. It was a lot of work cutting out, spray painting, gluing together, creating tags, adding glitter for over 50 boxes. I had help putting everything together thanks to my other brothers girlfriend, my cousin & niece...some girl time together. I also made my own wedding card instead of buying one since I couldn't find anything I liked. I get inspired and creative once in awhile and usually at the very last minute (^_^)
