Thought I would post some photos of an August 2010 wedding of two friends from my grad school, ESADE. Aside from the typical celebration at any wedding, this was particularly good because the bride and the groom were both very much part of our circle of friends. Sometimes it's the groom that's brings friends together, sometimes it's the bride, in this case it was both, so it was a great occassion to get together 1.5 years after graduating.

| Starting from top left, Jacek is in New York, Dara is in China, Ben is in Chicago, Danielle is in Denver, Andres is in London. Front row, Melanie is in New York, you know where I am, Jason is in Chicago, Paloma is in Barcelona, Misha is in Bangladesh, Aaron is in San Francisco, and Jay is in Capetown. This is why I went to ESADE. |

| Shyla, the bride, is in the middle. Great person, incredible positive spirit. The occassion was bittersweet, as her mother had been battling cancer and passed away two weeks before the wedding. She held up like a trooper. |
 |
| Adam, the groom, is in the middle. On the left are Shyla's two brothers, and on the right, Adam's best mates from Manchester. They look tough, and they're about twice as tough as they look. We had all gone out in SF two nights before, and it was like having our own personal bodyguards. |
 |
| Shyla was born and raised in Santa Cruz, CA. The wedding was at the Country Club. Dad, looked like a nice course. Fortunately, the morning fog burned off and brought a beautiful afternoon. You can see this table was "El Borne"...each table had the name of a neighborhood in Barcelona. A great touch. |
 |
| The house behind the group is where we...yes, all 10 of us..stayed, give or take some random guests. We were waiting for cabs, which arrived late and got us promptly stuck in a traffic jam. We got the wedding on time however...we are MBA grads. |

| Just the boys. Jacek (far left) doing his best impression of Hunter S Thompson. I kept telling Jay (on my left) he looked like Moby. Ben and Jason, in the middle, are who I've seen the most as they are both in Chicago. |
 |
| This was the morning of the wedding. Ben did the Chicago marathon as well, and the marathon was about 6 weeks away, so we had to get a run in. That's another thing about marathons...wherever you go, you are always training. |
|
| On the advice of sister Laura, Jason, Jacek and I hiked Big Basin State Park on the drive down to Santa Cruz from SF. Just a reminder to myself and anyone that if you ever get near Santa Cruz, take the opp to see these forests...they are magnificient. I even managed to get a little surfing in on the last photo.
