On the weekend of June 12th, Alex's high school best friend, Krisoye Smith got married. The wedding was in Des Moines, IA. Alex and I had never been to Iowa and am not sure we ever will go back. Des Moines is definitely a cute town, but very small compared to Chi-town. It's even smaller than Charlotte - which was pretty small compared to what we're both used to. I did enjoy that there was very large population of young people - so there was a nice selections of bars to hang out at:) All of Alex's good high school friends were there. It was great to see everyone again (Nafees, Mike and Amy) and even meet some new people (Alina, Brian and Chrissy). The wedding was in a beautiful rose garden at the Des Moines Art Center with the reception inside. It was a lot of fun! Lindsey even turned some photos of her and Kris into a coloring book and gave us crayons to color them in. Our table decided to do one. After the reception was over, we continued the party to the streets of Des Moines. We ended up at Fong's. It's a Chinese Pizzaria. It was packed with people too! We ended up having slices of really good pizza (especially for Des Moines). Also, their drink selection was outstanding. They had this drink called "The Dragon", which is a big ceramic Chinese dragon with some liquor mixture in it and lots of straws. You also need to wear a helmet while drinking it. We all shared "The Dragon" and enjoyed it so much we decided to get "The Scorpion" as well. That probably wasn't the best idea based on how we all felt the next morning. Thanks Krisoye and Lindsey- it was a great weekend!

Hey folks, it was fun to have a look at Krisoye and Lindsey's wedding, thanks for the fun photos. We also had a family wedding at one of the Chicago event venues and it turned out to be outstanding. I was just so blessed to be a part of this family wedding and met my relatives after a long time. Can’t wait for the next wedding in our family.
