family events

The night before the wedding, a delightful gathering was held at an old book store with a taco truck serving up tamales and etc outside, a fruit stand serving up tropical frutas with chili pepper inside and ice buckets of Mexican beer (how do people in L.A. where everyone seems to drive solo handle this? do they all drive drunk or just not drink at parties?).
Anyway, the night before the night before, the bride (left) was up all night at the emergency room with her sister (right) who swallowed a vitamin pill that got lodged in her throat. So was the groom. And the sister's boyfriend. Not a lot of sleep by the wedding party was had.
They did not wake the mother of the bride, a New Yorker, because she was sleeping off the effects of a scenic drive up Topanga Canyon during which she became very carsick.
