Loopy is spinning AT MY WEDDING

We need an update and debrief of the post wedding reception / party, the quality of the music spun, quality of the women folk in attendance and the over-all behavior of one, Campus Loopy during his time in HK.
 
Forthcoming. Am in airport, back in the States and flat out spent. I will say this for now: I did not want to leave HK and was sad this morning when I did. Hornins wife is flat out gorgeous and uber-cool, he is my hero for a few reasons. His friends from back in school, omg, what great guys w awesome sexy smart wives. Great family and the actual wedding, it was unconscious. Never have I and likely most of you ever seen something like this.

If I heard properly, 40k was spent on flowers alome. Sick.

Details to come. Texon, have a great. Holiday and be safe the rest of your trip.
 
Loopy spun a great set. It was limited by specific guidelines of HIHK and l00p nailed it.

You pretty much had the creme de la creme of Hong Kong society. A lot of hot Asian girls @ the Four Seasons ball room looking out over Hong Kong harbor. Top notch.

One of the brides maids was the (rumor) daughter of a Triad (mafia) boss. l00p was terrified he'd hit on her and end up in pieces in Hong Kong harbor HAHAHA.
 
I have seen a lot and one even more. That I am still digesting and reveling in the HK adventure says something. Start to finish an adventure. The only knock I have on HK is bad breakfast unless you go to a hotel buffet and even then, depending on the place, could be hit or miss. It is not impossible to find good eats morning style but you have to look. I am spoiled having Kerbey Lane and Star Seeds as well as Mi Madre's and other eateries within minutes of my house.

I promise, this weekend I will recount details and expand on the vagueness of earlier. And nope, I wanted NO part of the mafia girl whatsoever if it was ever even possible. Somebody offered up just to not piss her off in the 2 or 3 days left. Yeah, like it takes more than a brief second to piss a woman off for who knows what reason. No thanks. The harbor was gorgeous and I liked being on it riding a Ferry Boat, not underneath it wearing a concrete suit, custom tailored. "You want suit from Hong Kong, cheap? Come inside, we make for you, custom? Want a watch?

I sort of miss those dudes in Kowloon offering up a suit or watch, or handbag, or you name it. All 10 per block, block after block.

I am going back there at least once a year just not during the monsoon season coming up. Ghost Month may be cool, however. Dunno.

Hellllooooo.
 
Wedding:

In a word, spectacular. No, amazing. No, phenomenal. Any of those sums it up. THIS is the wedding girls grow up pretending to have, one day wanting and probably not getting it. The bride is stunning all week long, the groom is working his *** off on some major international deal yet still finding time to do the formal wedding stuff, take care of visitors and somehow get an hour or two of sleep in here and there. Hornin, good god man, rest.

I took part in the rehearsal dinner on Friday and the dinner after the actual rehearsal on Thursday. It was upstairs at some amazing place in SoHo(ng Kong). It was Szechuan style or something that sounded like that but may not be just that. Whatever it was, fantastic. Course after course of tasty delights, good wine and lots of laughter. This was a theme. Good food, good people, good laughs. (a certain somebody got dunked on in a HS basketball game, hahahaha)

The next night, at the Old China Bank Building his folks threw a hell of a bash. I don't know how many Peking Ducks were gone through but my mouth is still watering at yet again course after course.

Then the wedding. Gorgeous church up in the mountains of Hong Kong. It was overcast but not raining. Fog bouncing about over the harbor and mingling through the hills. Hornin's demeanor, holy ****, calm. The civil ceremony for Hong Kong happened on Wednesday but the big formal one was Saturday. Cucumber cool.

Myself and our Harlem Connection played the part of Usher (not the singer, you twits) er, bodyguards/security. A soprano with the voice of an angel belted out Ave Maria and it filled every crack of the church with the sound of awe. Many people looked around after she sang and mouthed, "Wow" in Cantonese and English.

The bride once again looked devastating as usual. Her sense of fashion is impeccable. My understanding is that Vera Wang herself designed the dress and 3 trips to Singapore were made to tweak it and get it fit right. Guys, go tell your wives Vera Wang personally made a dress for somebody and watch them grimace with envy.

Were I Vera Wang I would make her a dress too, a perfect canvas. I would also not be on this site because I would be an Asian woman and not need to ever leave the house. Mmmm, asian girls. (the non-Triad Boss for a father type).

The reception somehow found a way to be over the top yet still classy and manage to trump all other activities. WTF, how did they do that?

It was at the Four Seasons. The fact that the very bottom of the barrel cheapest room possible there cost 520 a night on weekdays kept me from staying there. Yes, you read that right.

There were tables of ten scattered throughout the ballroom with a main stage up front. A band that I figured would be cheesy (boy was I wrong) played and nailed songs of various genres. In between their sets the best men (awesome fellas, hey guys) took it easier on Hornin than they should have and could have with their speeches.

There were about five or six attendants or staff per table of ten (there were about ten or more of those) at your beckoning call. If your little butter pat on the little plate got so much as 1/2 used it was whisked away in a jiffy. This for me was not exactly the best scenario. Think of iced tea. You know how you get it perfectly flavored and then somebody fills it up half full? I got my butter to the perfect temp so it spread perfect and it got yanked away. I lived.

On each table was a stunning arrangement of Orchids. On the main stage were two huge arrangements of I want to say, Lillies or mini-Orchids. Whatever they were they were flown in and were 50 Bucks (American Dollars) per STEM. Yes, per freaking stem and there were hundreds of them in the vases. From 3 separate accounts the brides father paid 40k US dollars on FLOWERS ALONE.

It was not cheesy, it was not flamboyant it was not gaudy. It was tasteful, elegant and a spectacle. I have never been to anything like this. I am so very lucky to have been given the chance.

Oh, the dance. The couples dance was awesome. It may sound gay but when the video and pictures come out I want a copy. They had practiced it but were nervous about it. Hornin said they made a couple of mistakes but I reminded him none of us knew what it was supposed to be so to us they nailed it. Very well done and I loved the individual expression each put into it. What a ham.

Whether it was the Duck Pate with Caviar around it or the courses of food such as the steak that melted in your mouth it was a top notch production all the way from start to finish, all week long. The gifts for guests was a box of elegant chocolates and a bottle of 12 year old MacAllan Scotch Whiskey. (of which, somebody stole mine and made it theirs while I was busy doing something else). I hope whoever drank it got a hangover.

I am actually making this shorter than it could and should be but I think I have done a good enough job giving the idea of how amazing this was and what a terrific party those two and their families can put on. Hornin's parents and sister are special people. Same goes for the bride's family and friends of whom I did not get the chance to really get to know as well in the time we together.

I very much plan on going back to Hong Kong at least once a year from now on. Hopefully then I will have more opportunities to get to know more about the Hong Kong tribe of the bride and discover more about the fascinating city of Hong Kong. It made the freaking brutal flight over there worth it.

Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. HorningHongKong and your families and friends for a whole host of memories that I will not ever, in my lifetime, forget. Bless you and may your children turn out like you...in your adulthood.
 
You know Loop, if you had not gotten greedy and paid for ONE thai girl instead of THREE, then you could have stayed at the Four Seasons like everyone else.
