why tomorrow’s wedding is going to be awesome.

so i’m in sunny california right now for dana and hunter’s wedding on sunday. they are both artists. dana is an expert wedding blogger (weddingbee, elizabeth anne designs) and hunter was on ER (guy with the fro pushing the cart) earlier this year. a few days ago hunter sent me a rather untraditional email to both my surprise and delight:

Cut to:
Dan Chen sitting in a gigantic arm chair. lit cigarette in one hand, a camera dangles from the other. Hunter Enters.

Hunter:
Hey Dan! Oh my god I can’t believe I am getting married this weekend!

Dan:
People get married every weekend Hunter. They fall in love and need some one to document the beauty of that love with equally beautiful pictures. That’s when they call me. It’s what makes the world turn. It’s how it was meant to be.

Hunter:
Wow, That’s some deep shit Dan. I wish I had something cool to say like that, but unfortunately I just have an issue getting you a car rental. Apparently I can’t purchase a car rental in your name with my credit card. If you don’t mind making the reservation using your card, we will happily reimburse you when you arrive. The best price I found was on Hotwire.com I was going to purchase you an economy or compact car for about 31 or 32 dollars a day coming out to be a total of about $170.

Dan Chen leaps out of his chair. Doing a double back flip he extinguishes his cigarette in midair. Hunter somewhat frightened and amazed starts clapping muttering something about, “Best extinguishing I have ever seen.” Dan Lands on the ground, camera in position pointed at Hunter. He snaps the picture. Hunter about to duck spontaneously smiles instead saying.

Hunter:
Cheeese

Dan:
You have good instincts Hunter. I think this wedding will go well. I’ll hit you back with an email.

Hunter:
Oh uh Thanks. Yeah we are reeeeally excited.

Dan Begins to walk away. Off stage we hear the voice of Dana.

Dana:
Hunter did you send Dan that email about the issue with the car rental?

Hunter:
Yeah honey… Yeah I did.

then i replied:
“oh poopie. i’m not 25 yet and i need to be to be able to book on hotwire. i know enterprise would allow it but there’s an extra fee that would make it $41/day… i apologize for my youth. let me know what you guys think!”

and hunter’s final words on the matter:
“No problem. Do what ya gotta do. Dude when you turn twenty five we’ll get together and rent cars from hotwire till we puke.”

awesome.
