7:10am Alarm goes off
8:00am Attempt to find parking near the Marina Green Monkey Bars with no success. We intend to run with the TNT group for the Saturday morning Mentor Run.
8:20am Finally park at Sports Basement and do our own run. 78 minutes and approximately 7 miles later (still need to map this out), we finish.
10:00am Go to Kara's Cupcakes on Scott between Chestnut and Lombard to pick up Naomi and Rich's rented Cake Tier.
10:30am Go home, shower, change, pack for the rest of the day/evening.
11:45am Pick up Clay and head to the Ferry Building to do our now weekly weekend Farmer's Market shopping trip. Meet Clay's former high school classmate Dina. We have reservations at Slanted Door but cannot believe it when the close the dining room for lunch due to plumbing problems. Settle for a rotisserie chicken "snack" before heading across the street....
2:00pm Check out FallFest. Little did we know that we should have ditched the chicken and headed straight here to wine and dine on fresh foods and wines from local restaurants and wineries. These $100 tickets were comp'ed by Scott, Dina's boyfriend. Sadly, we only had a half hour to scarf food and drink before having to leave to set up for Naomi's wedding.
3:00pm The time we are supposed to be at Kabuki Hotel setting up the cake stand. Instead we are quickly getting dressed, added the paper detail around the edges to the cake stand!
3:45pm Do a drive by. Clay lets me off at the Valet of Kabuki. I bring in the stands to the ballroom and he finds parking. I set up the table with the traditional Groom's cake on top, and Beard Papa's on the bottom two tiers.
4:30pm Wedding Ceremony begins with an exhuberating Taiko performance and calming ukelele processional. A reading and poem are done in front of the Japantown Peace Pagoda and Naomi and Rich exchange vows.
6:00pm Reception begins complete with Pikapika photobooth, Peking duck and Rich's dad doing an Elvis impersonation (my personal highlights).
10:30pm I am done. So pooped I can't even rally to party with Table 15.
11:00pm Passed out in bed...sleep for 10 hours s-o-l-i-d.
10:00am Pick up Cake Tier from Kabuki Hotel and return to Kara's Cupcakes.
11:00am Join the wedding party and friends for Brunch at da Hukilau. Shots ensue. It is Rich's birthday.
3:00pm Head to Crissy Field to watch the Blue Angels. Walk the beach. Shop at Sports Basement...get new running capris. (So excited to go running and try them out!)
7:00pm Head home for dinner with Julia and Jon and an evening of True Blood, Dexter and Grey's Anatomy.......
