On Saturday night, Catrinel came over for dinner. For dessert, we decided to open up one of the MayDay Emergency Food Ration bars to see what it tasted like! (Verdict: Like a really dry, dense, crumbly lemon tart mixed with spackle.)
Wish! (PS - If you look at Sarah's dress you'll notice that I must've accidentally used Cat's wish. Sorry about that, Sar.) (PPS - I love the fact that she's blowing out two haphazardly-placed votive candles Hahah.)
Cat's one of those people who's is friends with lots of different groups of people! So her parties are always great because you are guaranteed to meet new people!
Even though it was a Thursday night, everyone had off work the next day for the 4th of July. Even though this photo was taken right around midnight, most people were still arriving and hanging out in the kitchen.
Then a couple songs later, Meredith, KT and Siege joined the party and we all nerded out together. Just cuz you're getting married doesn't mean you gotta grow up or anything! Thanks to everyone for keeping the surprise a secret and for coming out to help me surprise Meredith! It meant so much to have so many people we love be there to share that huge moment in our lives!
We started walking over to Sarah's house at 5:30. I secretly texted the party and told them that we were on the way and that anyone who was there from out of town should go up on to the roof and hide for a while so that Meredith wouldn't get tipped off to the fact that something was up!
After successfully getting settled in to the party without Meredith suspecting anything, Catrinel initiated the next stage of the plan and got Meredith to sit down on the very same couch that she'd been sitting on four years ago when we decided to go on our first date! (Cat was like "It's really hot - come sit here on the couch with me and I can fan us!" Smooooooth.)
