I spent the last five days in San Diego seeing my aunt (my mom's younger sister) Amy get married to a wonderful man named Tony. It was an amazing experience. Tony's family is from Chicago and is very Italian and sooo similar to mine. We both play pranks on each other and love to laugh, two things that happened a lot this weekend.
The wedding was on a paddle boat that sailed out on Mission Bay. It was beautiful and scenic and perfect for themed prank pulling. Tony's family went with Love Boat while mine went with pirates (I have a little sore spot in my throat from saying "Arrrggg..." all weekend). In addition to flying a pirate flag off our balcony and passing out eye-patches at the reception, we introduced a new member of the family, Uncle Arrrrggg-nold (pictured below).
On of the best parts of the whole trip was dancing at the reception. Bopping around with my cousins and Amy in her beautiful dress was a blast. Then my great-Aunt Kay came on the floor. She was amazing and is officially my hero. How many 73 year-olds do you know who dance to Gettin' Jiggy with It (na na na na na nana)? Yea Aunt Kay!
It was wonderful to spend time with family, even parts that I haven't seen since I was little. I learned a lot of names, heard lots of stories about my grandma and grandpa, and generally felt blessed to be part of such an awesome group of people.
Here's some pictures from the trip.

Pirating can be dangerous work!

Self-explanatory.
