Got Wedding Photos?

So I've been trying to figure out how to display all the photos in one place. I wanted to be able to allow people to download their photos in jpg format. I've been furiously trying to research all the different possibilities like picasa, flickr, photobucket, SendPhotos, Kodak photo gallery, shutterfly, and snapfish. I thought I would try flickr, but I just don't have the time to learn how to do it in time. So here is my compromise. I am going to post all the photolinks that you all send me.

I'm going to upload our photos and put them into yahoo or flickr once I figure out what to do. Flickr is a yahoo product and picasa is a google product. I like flickr so far because it is in gamma while picasa is in beta. I suspect that picasa will become the better product over time, but currently, flickr has more functionality. I'll be updating the side bar with photos from everyone, so please send me links to your photos if you have them. I'll also post the photos from the photographers once we get them.

Even if you send me a link to your photos, please send me a CD with the full files so that I can print them out and send them in case anyone requests one of your beautiful wedding photos. If you don't have that many, you can send them to my email
mfong8@yahoo.com.

This past weekend, we spent Friday returning/exchanging wedding gifts. We're realizing that we have more gifts than space, so we'll probably be holding a garage sale early next year. We also saw the movie "The Departed" which is based on the HK film "Infernal Affairs." I have to say that the acting and dialogue were great. However, I didn't like how they changed the ending in the US version. I really like how they adapted it to the Boston dynamics, but I didn't like how they had Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon's characters going after the same woman. It just added something that didn't seem plausible. Jack Nicholson was really good and I loved Mark Walhberg's character- he was hilarious.

On Saturday, I went to Greg's housewarming party while Edwin went to the Cal-UCLA game for an impromptu guy's drinking afternoon. I also spent some time planning our honeymoon since it is next week. Ha ha! Here's our preliminary itinerery:

11/18-11/22 Sydney
11/22-11/28 Tasmania
11/28-12/1 Melbourne
12/1-12/4 Alice Springs/Uluru (Ayer's Rock)
12/4-12/6 Darwin
12/6-12/9 Port Douglas
12/9-12/10 Cairns
12/11 Auckland/SF

So it looks like a lot for 24 days. We have 2/5 flights purchased and 2 hotel reservations (Sydney & Melbourne.) I know the rest of the 3 flights and I have another hotel reservation (Port Douglas) that I am about to make. So now I have about a week to plan the rest. Ha ha!

On Sunday, we went to Mike and Michelle's tasting dinner. Had to help Michelle with her invitations since she spent so many hours helping us with ours. Here are some cool photos that Michelle's bro David took of the event.
