KURT WILLIAM MACDONALD
I've known Kurt since the 3rd Grade at Junipero Serra Elementary School.
He and I (along with Greg and Shahab) have been best friends all through Elementary School, Middle School, High School and UCLA Undergrad.
Kurt was one of my roommates during my 3rd and 4th years of Undergrad at UCLA (Greg and Wen were my other roomies) and he was my roommate again during our first two years of Graduate School, though Kurt went to USC in the Interactive Media MFA program while I returned to UCLA for my MFA at the Animation Workshop. Right before our third year at grad school, Kurt moved out of the apartment and into Tripp's place while Sam moved in with me.
Kurt's a very creative guy and a man of principles (he's a vegan).
SHAHAB LASHKARI
I've known Shahab since the 4th Grade at Junipero Serra Elementary School.
He and I (along with Greg and Kurt) have been best friends all through Elementary School, Middle School, High School and UCLA Undergrad.
Shahab is currently living in Oxnard with his girlfriend Emily.
GREGORY JOHN KUHLMANN
 Brothers from other mothers |
 Greg & Josh dirty dancing |
I've known Greg since the 2nd Grade at Junipero Serra Elementary School.
He and I (along with Kurt and Shahab) have been best friends all through Elementary School, Middle School, High School and UCLA Undergrad.
Greg was one of my roommates during my 3rd and 4th years of Undergrad at UCLA (Kurt and Wen were my other roomies)
He's currently getting his PhD at the UT Austin studying Artifical Intelligence.
Greg recently got married to Negin Aghdaie.
Holy crap! I can't believe Greg and Negin got married today *.
I've known Greg for almost two decades, and Negin ** for over half of that time. I hardly remember a time when they weren't a couple. And now they are husband and wife.
Just as my brother Russ' wedding last year was a milestone, Greg's wedding is another indication of just how far along my life has really come up to now. Both my blood-brother and my brother-from-another-mother have settled down and entered the married life.
I'm still very iconoclastic when it comes to the traditional institution of marriage, but it's getting harder and harder to deny that it's only a matter of time now before Sam and I get married.
There were tons of photos taken during the bachelor party, beach bonfire, ceremony and reception by various photgraphers (Sam Sim, Kurt MacDonald, Barbara MacDonald, Chul Hur, and Myo Kyawswar). Here are some of my favorites (photos are the property of their respective photographers and all thumbnails are linked to the original full-sized images):

* Oh alright, so I didn't really write this post "today" (July 24th). The wedding reception went way after midnight, but I usually back-date my posts to reflect the day that the events happened.
** I still love Negin even though she made me shave my mohawk for the wedding.
My Mom is a Pampered Chef "Consultant" and she asked me to "put the word out to [my] friends who may want to do a bridal shower."
Greg and Negin are the only people I know getting married anytime soon, and no one else reads this blog except me (especially not my Mom)*, but she wanted me to post a link to her personal Pampered Chef site:

[UPDATE - 12-20-2005: A change in Pampered Chief policies prohibits linking to personal sites... WTF?!?]

* I love the Onion but damn their Premium paid service leaves me no choice but to link to another blog with the text of the Mom Finds Out About Blog article...
[UPDATE - 08-30-2005: So I guess my link worked because this girl Sarah found my site and ended up ordering from my Mom]
