Merediths Bachelorette Party

Meredith's mom hosted a bachelorette brunch party for Meredith at their apartment followed by an after-party at our apt.

Saturday, July 11th

After Meredith left the apartment on Saturday morning, Una and Ellen came over to decorate our place for the after-party. BATtjer + SilverMAN = Meredith BATMAN. Ha.

After they'd finished decorating, they headed uptown to Meredith's parents house to join the bachelorette brunch party. Here's Meredith and my grandma! (I didn't go to this party or take any of these pictures! So I'm totally going to be making up the captions)
