Dear ALEXIS 2

 Do you like my HAT?

Its Friday and im thinking whats the plan for the weekend. So I tell my girls at work that we may hit the beach on Sunday. My girls are all for it. On Saturday evening, I start calling my peeps and of course they were in.

Let me tell you about my girls. my girls are a different mix of reserved, loud, friendly, personable, etc. Of course  they didn't let me down, they were totally on point. There's one i particularly admire for her suave nature, knowing what to wear, how to where and WHERE TO WEAR.

For some reason i didn't get her picture but she was certainly EYE CANDY.

Everyone brought a little sumthin sumthin and YIPEE we had loads of stuff. We had beef kebabs, pork chops, chicken, pasta salad and loads of drinks.


I really wish you were there.

MARK ZUCKBERG GETS HITCHED

On Saturday, May, 19, 2012, Zuckerberg and Chan tied the knot at a small ceremony at his Palo Alto, Calif home. Zuckerberg wed 27-year-old Priscilla Chan, his girlfriend of nearly a decade.The ceremony was held in front of fewer than 100 stunned guests who thought they would be attending a party to celebrate Chan's graduation from medical school.


On Monday, Zuckerberg turned 28 and Chan graduated from the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine, where she'd studied pediatrics.
Then on Friday, Zuckerberg took his blue-and-white web behemoth public in one of the most anticipated stock offerings in Wall Street history.


The wedding had been planned for months and the couple was waiting for Chan to finish medical school, but the date of the IPO was a "moving target" not known when the wedding was set.


Attendees, including Facebook's chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg, were told after they arrived that they were not mere party guests but wedding guests.



Zuckerberg sported a dark blue suit and tie with a white shirt for the ceremony, while Chan wore a traditional white wedding dress with veil and lace.
Food was served family-style and included dishes from the couple's favorite Palo Alto sushi restaurant.


Zuckerberg met Chan at Harvard, where he founded Facebook in a dorm room in 2004, and have been together for more than nine years.
Chan's own Facebook page, which now lists her as married to the founder, said she is a native of Braintree, Mass., and attended high school in nearby Quincy.
She graduated Harvard in 2007 then taught science to fourth and fifth graders at the Harker School in San Jose for two years before starting medical school, according to her profile.
