Portality


Saturday, October 18, 2003


I'm in soCal for the weekend for a friend's wedding. It was a nice ceremony that was held in Bel Air Presbyterian Church, which has an amazing view of the valley.

The wedding was short and sweet (less than an hour long), but at the end of the ceremony, the pastor said, "I present to you Mr. and Mrs., uh,..."

At first everyone thought he was joking, but he seriously blanked out and forgot the groom's last name. It took about 20 seconds for him to complete that sentence.

And then at the reception we were enjoying our meal and realized that almost all of the back section of the room was gone. Friends of the couple's parents were sitting there, and they just bailed after eating their lunch. It was amazing how fast they got out of there.

For them, they just wanted to see the ceremony, eat a meal, drop off some money, and jet. They couldn't care less about traditional American ceremonies, slideshows, and toasts. Makes sense, since they're Korean...
