Elsu and Nova

This posting is primarily for The Great PD and the Great 5H. They were sadly missed and constantly talked about yesterday at Elsu and Nova's wedding.

The Plotniks have known Elsu a long time and Nova for quite a few years now. Yesterday they decided to make it all legit -- and what a wedding it was.

For one thing, they held the party on some funky farm down below Pescadero -- the opposite of flash and the essence of a good time. An eight piece Cuban salsa band didn't hurt.

When the ceremony was over, Ishaan got to promenade out with his mom.

For someone who said he was really nervous, Elsu seems like the Godfather of Cool here.

(Lots of folks at this party have names that defy Spellcheck. Apologies in advance.)

Elsu's sister Cheyenna flew in from Japan.

Plot and Duck had been proud to be included, but they figured they wouldn't know anyone at the party except Elsu and Nova. How wrong they were. Many of The Great PD's UC Santa Cruz friends were there, most of whom spent significant time with their feet under the dining table at Great Plotnik World Headquarters. And all of them seem to have babies themselves now.

Old friends Maggie and Seba were there with their little boy Lucas. (Yes, NotThat, Captain Crow and JL -- yet ANOTHER Lucas.)

The flower girls. Trish's Kawayan is in the middle. Isabella would have felt right at home.

And what does a sensible caterer serve with so many kids at a party? Grilled cheese sandwiches and peanut butter sandwiches. (Plus other delicious stuff.)

This is Jen's daughter Naya on Maggie's shoulders -- Jen's arms are dancing with her.

Plot and Duck are sorry not to have more contact with so many of these great people, but that's the way it goes. Just like with Nick and Jade's wedding in LA a few months ago, it is always an amazement to Plotnik that his kids have such cool friends.

Everyone has babies. Everyone has new memories to go with the old ones. And everyone seems to have shot a little pool and eaten a little food with Plot and Duck. And now they're all getting married. The party's just getting started.
