Whoa!! what a busy weekend. First Off, I hope everybody had a great Thanksgivig! I spent the day with my family and had a wonderful time cooking and spending quality time with the old folks. We decided to do something non-traditional and stayed away from the usual Turkey, so I cooked Korean BBQ and had Tilapia (that's fish). yummy...

Now onto the rest of the weekend. On Friday I had the opportunity to shoot a Indian Henna pre-wedding. This was my very first Henna party so I really didn't know what to expect. The bride (Anita) was very gracious and welcoming to their home. The food was great even though it was all vegetarian.

Here's how the Henna started out..


And here's how it ended up.. The Henna covered Anita's arms and feet. It was pretty amazing seeing this for the first time. The Henna artists were very good and everything they did, was done in free-hand. Pretty cool!


Here's Anita with her Henna, I decided to do some shots of just here. Isn't she gorgeous!?


And here's one of Anita's friends who I thought was very pretty!! I never introduced myself but I thought she was gorgeous from the moment i saw her. I guess that's my fault for not introducing myself.. Hopefully, our paths will cross again.

On Saturday, I shot a wedding in Chino Hills (again for Harvard Photography) and this time it was Vanessa and Chris as the beautiful couple. I was sort of nervous for this wedding, since the couple was 45 minutes late for pre-wedding pictures. I thought it was going to be a VERY stressful wedding, but to my surprise everything went off without a hitch. Here's the beautiful couple.


Here's the couple during their first dance:

Congratulations to both couples and I wish you the very best!

Shot another wedding for Harvard Photography. The wedding and reception was held at the Westridge Golf Club in La Habra. What a gorgeous (and very difficult) looking golf course.

Lillian and Lawrence were yet another beautiful couple. The wedding went off without a hitch, and I loved the little video presentation that was played during the reception. They put together this show that mimiced the show "Pimp my ride", but they called "Pimp my bride". It was freaking hilarious. I wish I had a clip to post, but you'll just have to take my word for it..

Anyway, here are some images from the wedding.. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to put a slideshow together, so this is all i have so far. enjoy!

Here's Lillian, isn't she beautiful!!


Here's the beautiful couple.




For the wedding the guys decided to go with the funny socks.


The couple invited around 200 guests to witness and share their day.



One of the funny parts of the wedding, occurred during the reception when Lillian's 4 yr old nephew wanted some cake before it was served.


Congrats to Lillian and Lawrence.

Thank you for visiting..

Hoooray!!! Victory is MINE!!! (well, at least for the moment)..

I've finally been able to resolve my BizTalk headache (from this post). The main issue had to do with non-matching .XSD file for the .NET Client Component that I created for H.I.S. (Host Integration Server). Once you create the .NET Client Component for your TI (Transaction Integrator) project a .DLL and .XSD file is created for you.

From the BizTalk Orchestration project, you then add a reference to the (TI) .DLL you created, and import the .XSD into your project. The .XSD defines a type of XML document (including parameters and data types) that you are passing between environments.

Well, if a change is made to the (TI) .DLL, you will need to re-import the updated .XSD into your BizTalk project so BizTalk can recognize any changes that have been made.

So after that hurdle, and a whole mess of smaller hurdles, i've finally been able to get things working...

Here's a little diagram of what the system looks:
