Mark & Krissy's Wedding {ATX}

A couple of weeks ago, we went to ATX to celebrate the marriage of our dear friends, Mark & Krissy. We've known Mark and Krissy for almost 10 years now and so happy they finally tied the knot. Both Mark and Krissy are the sweetest people ever, so nice and fun to be around, so you can only imagine what their wedding was like: A Big Party! Mark and Krissy were there for each one of them as well; such troopers I tell you. They were just so laid back about everything and made sure to enjoy every moment they could with their family and friends, without worrying about all the things that come with a wedding. But don't think this stopped them from being as creative as possible for this special day. Every detail was well thought out and it all came together so beautifully!




We started off the wedding weekend with a night out at Trudy's. Gerald and I didn't get there until 1 am from our flight into ATX from BFL, but managed to still down a mexican martini and eat some yummy quesadillas. It was a great start to a fun weekend!



Friday night, there was a pre-wedding party at Bar Louie. We did lots of catching up with old friends and meeting some of Mark & Krissy's family. It was seriously like a big college reunion {we were all part of the Filipino Students Association at UT, kind of like our own fraternity/sorority =)! We had a great time catching up with everyone!

On the wedding day, we did a few airport runs to pick up friends that were coming into town that morning, had breakfast at South Congress Cafe, and even stopped by a food truck, Ms. P's Electric Cock Fried Chicken,  to pick up breakfast tacos for the people at the hotel. It was a busy morning, but we finally got ready and headed out for the big day! 


The ceremony was short and sweet and Krissy looked gorgeous! Mark as well, hehe.

Mark and Krissy run a food truck called Be More Pacific {Krissy is also working as a manager for a consulting company, she rocks!}, so they had the truck outside the church after the ceremony so everyone could grab a bite to eat before the cocktail hour. There was quite a line but we were glad we finally got to try their food truck!



A few of us needed something cool to wash down the yummy filipino food so we headed back to Lick for some ice cream. 




Now, let the real party begin! They had an open bar, live band, live entertainment given by their uncles dressed up in hula gear, dancing to "single ladies", UT game was playing downstairs so there was a lot going back and forth {we won!}. However,  more importantly, there was a live Instagram feed {you probably noticed my Instagram was blowing up this night}. If you #lunapascualwed, your picture would show up on a screen in the reception room for everyone to see. It was fun! They even showed this sweet video of the proposal.  We drank and danced the night away, but it didn't end there!

yah, that was me putting dollar bills in Krissy's boobs! hehe











Aftewards, they reserved an area at Six Lounge, which was conveniently located a few blocks from the reception place {Omni Hotel Austin Downtown} so that we could continue partying! By 2 am, I was beat and needed food. So a few of us took off early to get some Ropollo's pizza {we used to do this in college, drunk girls asking for $10 whole pizzas and getting it every time! they are usually $3 a slice so one box should be $18 or so!} And if that wasn't enough, we stopped at Best Wurst for a bratwurst as well. Let's just say it was a GREAT night! Thanks to Mark and Krissy for bringing us all together in ATX. 





Congrats again Mr. and Mrs. Pascual! We love you guys!
