Patrick and I took a taxi to House of Hair where we met Tina, Domenica, and their hairstylist Gilbert. Gilbert got started on Tina's hair while Domenica joined us to get coffee and pastries at Claire de Lune. Afterwards it was Domenica's turn. Daniel arrived. Among other things, we talked about the bleaching of perineums. Gilbert did a fantastic job on their hair, and we took photos. Domenica and Daniel took off, and Tina, Patrick, and I briefly visited Luz at Heaven Sent to show her Tina's hair. Tina drove us back to her place where we hung out for a bit. We all helped Daniel pick which of 3 ties he should wear with his suit. Daniel took us to Doubletree where we three had lunch at the hotel's restaurant. I had a pizza, Daniel and Patrick each had a cheeseburger. Daniel ordered extra pizza to go then left. Patrick and I rested then dressed for the wedding. Daniel arrived and changed in the bathroom. We drove to Sunset Cliffs for the wedding. Domenica and Corey's chihuahuas were the flower girl (Reese) and ring bearer (Opie). We saw Julianne, Danae, Gwen, Julie, and Deirdre. We met Kaherdin for the first time. Gwen held a caterpillar in her hand and showed it to everyone during the wedding. The reception was at Rosemary and Robert Petty's house. A sushi bar with live sushi chef had a variety of sushi including California roll, spicy tuna roll. Hors d'oeuvres included mini hamburgers, chicken skewers with peanut sauce, veggies and dip. A hosted beverage bar was adjacent to the pool. Domenica and Corey delivered their celebration toast and dance from the balcony. Everyone helped during the cake cutting—all the pastillage had to be removed before cutting. Tina, Daniel, Patrick and I left, but we had to turn around because Tina accidentally left something behind. They dropped us at the hotel.
