it took a while. but high school sweethearts hoan and sun finally decided to tie the knot. he choose frank victor john and i to be his groomsmen...a likely motley crew to get things back to 2005 party central...but things have changed. couples, marriage, babies, age, maturity...it looked like i was the only one forcing the issue to get drunk. even frank maintained composure throughout the weekend due to date responsibilities. i got to philly on thursday. met up with hoa and frank for drinks and went home early. friday's boathouse dinner was limited to soju and beer...and with amazing homemade viet and korean food...it was hard to get drunk by any means. saturday morning was groomsmen duties...but by noon, i was the only one drinking corona on the bus. and open bar at the wedding was overshadowed by aerosol spray confetti....no shots. just adults sipping on whisky. the chicken pho was absolutely amazing on sunday. it was a mature weekend.
