WHAT A BEEEAAAUUUUUUUUTIFUL WEDDING!!!!!!!!

Last night was the highly anticipated wedding between Raffi Meneshian and his lovely bride Natacha. It took place at St. Vartanantz church in Providence and the party continued near by at a hotel. There were so many of Raffi's good friends, all of whom were my counselors back in the days of Camp Haiastan when I was just a little brat. Aram Hajian flew all the way out from Armenia to be here for this, some folks from San Francisco, Fresno, Arizona, Chicago, all over people flew in.

What was amazing was the dance floor all night long. All of her family kept us on our toes with a hell of a dance-off. But we gave them some competition. They were wonderful and we all had such a good time together.

Raffi, for the millionth time, congratulations. I know you two will have a wonderful rest of your life together and thank you for including me in such a wonderful time of your life.

Otherwise, Boston was great! I had a chance to do the things you never do when you live there... shop at the Armenian stores. I hit all the good stuff... ACME for some Armenian CDs, Fastachi for some mixed nuts, Massis Bakery and Sevan Bakery. I dropped by the Hairenik and visited with someone who's a bit of a mentor to me. He's a fellow designer in his days and always kept an eye out for me while I worked there. I even made it out to Worcester (1 hour drive) to see my friend Christine and we had dinner at Shiraz Restaurant... another Armenian owned business... geez, I didn't even do this intentionally. I'm such an Armo. But I love it. There's nothing like speaking Armenian everywhere you go.
