California, Here We Come, Right Back Where We Started From

Last Wednesday I went to California with some friends for a wedding and it was really fun. We decided to start out the trip correctly, by taking a day excursion to Disneyland, pretending it was my birthday so all the employees would tell me "Happy Birthday" when I walked around and therefore  evoking all sorts of warm and fuzzy feelings within me. When we were looking for a cab to the park at our hotel's valet,  a  man in a suit offered to drive us there in his car, which turned out to be a black limo, so that was the best possible way to begin a day at the Happiest Place on Earth. After  getting on ride after ride, canoeing around the park in a Daniel Boone style apparatus, and exhausting the majestic carousel steeds, we ended the night with a trip to California Pizza Kitchen, which is probably the second most happy place on earth(I would like to give a shout out to the Miso salad).
The wedding was at the Crystal Cathedral and it was  fabulously decorated with light colored flower arrangements made mostly of peonies. When she walked down the aisle the center fountains  came on and the lovely bride, Angie, floated down to the front like the princess of an exotic European nation. The music beautifully intermingled with the decor to create a very elegant atmosphere throughout the night and Angie and Chris are now happily Mrs. and Mrs. Wyatt(and most likely sunbathing on the sandy beaches of  Tahiti at this moment).
