OK, y'all. After many months of intense scrutiny, my belle and I are finally ready to unveil our modest wedding website:
www.solsticewedding.net
If any of you lot have an interest into my alterego--the daily face seen by everyone in my life--here's your chance! Most people only get to see questZENer concealed beneath this facade...
It'll be a grand celebration on a modest (grad student) budget.
Peace.

I have marked the event on my calendar, and assure you, even at this distance, I will "be" there....
Thanks for this. It's just lovely.
We're both looking forward to the event itself. The location is just wonderful--the owner of the penthouse where it will all take place was a haberdasher in the 1920's. He was rollin' in dough and commissioned his store and the penthouse above it to be decked in the high style of the time--art deco. Even Lalique has several chandeliers--the photo essay shows some of this detail. I'm a detail man.
The guest list is quite small--75 at latest count. We can't really afford any more. So, Simon, it would be wonderful to be included in your local ceremony. We'll gladly reciprocate our...um...erotic energy in return for being invoked near the stones. How kind of you to offer!
I'll surely update the site with post-pics--we'll see what kind of revelry we end up with. Los Angeles can be mighty chilly in June...we'll have to warm it up!
OMG WOW!!
This is absolutely spectacular!! The early Art Deco is fabulous! Check out those floors, ceilings and walls, not to mention all the fixtures and other pieces. I love that checkerboard dance floor! And the inlay floors. Incredible! Mind blowing! There's still such a strong Art Nouveau presence, which is one of my all time favourite periods. The Hogarth "S" curve, the fruits, feathers scroll work and leaves, those marble fireplaces alone are worth a trip to have a look. Magnificent!! I'm freaking out. The light fixtures still have that delicate Nouveau feel. What is that wood that the bed's made out of and the wall behind it in photo #14? It's driving me crazy!! I just want to touch it, it's so gorgeous! And all those grills!! Is that all iron work? They look like Japanese ocean waves.
You took all the pics I would have taken! I LOVE the detail. If there's a God, that's where she is! lol! Your taste is impeccable. lol! I'm going crazy over that deep blue ceiling in the hallway with the lights along the sides. Fabulous idea!! It's all like some crazy, wonderful dream. I can't think of a place with more celebratory spirit than this. This is just the ultimate!
But my favourite photos of all are #4 and #9 of your engagement day. Those are just beautiful.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I've had an absolute blast looking through those photos. They're so much better than the ones on their official web site. Nice work.
Well, congratulations!! I'm so happy for you! Can't wait for the update pics.
Oh, what fun! I love weddings!
Thanks again, Quest.

I've been away from my computer all afternoon--it's been a hellish day on all fronts. In anycase--I can see you're a woman after my own heart. I love details and I love Art Nouveau. You've absolutely pegged it. You're gushing over all the things I love--the color of the blue in the hallway, the iron grillwork, the patterns, textures, and all the stuff that most everyone else walks by. My partner thinks I'm crazy for zooming in on the minutia--you should see some of my photos from Nepal!
I think the wood on the bed is mahogany. Apparently, the owner of the place was gay and when we would throw parties, he would shut the doors to his bedroom and hide behind the curtains waiting for unsuspecting couples to get their mojo on his bed--all the while he watched.
This is actually just a selection of a whole photo essay I put together from photos I took from the place and borrowed from the web. I don't know if folks post PDFs on this site and how I might go about doing that, but if anyone is interested I'd be happy to do it. It's such fun and I spend a lot of time putting the bugger together so it would be grand if others who are interested had access to it.
Thanks for the boost, Brig. It's nice to be understood occasionally...
Peace
I was a floral designer and wedding consultant for many years. If your fiancee's doing anything cool with her flowers let me know so I can drool.
Art Nouveau holds a very special place in my heart and always will. For me it was the last great period of elegance.

Wine tasting in the Napa Valley.

LOL, Simon.
questZENer...what lovely pictures! You two are adorable. Thank you for sharing this with us. The pictures from your engagement day look like Chicago...is it? Or is that somewhere in California?
YogaMama: the background is the Santa Monica Pier. So, it's Santa Monica, Cali in mid-Winter.
That is my wedding outfit - but mine also sports a gut.
