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.)
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!
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.)
On Monday night, a whole bunch of us went to a pizza-party that Grant had organized to introduce all his friends to Aki, his new girlfriend that had just moved to NYC. Here's Meredith, Cat and Maureen chowing down on pizza! After the pizza was finished...
...aw yeah, Meredith Silverman. (While Meredith and I were introduced that night, we actually never spoke until several months later. She's since gone on to become one of my favorite people - and was the first person to come out and visit me at my new place in San Francisco. A trip that inspired her to get her very first digicam and start her very own photo diary!)
Addendum December 28, 2008: I'm working on putting all these old entries into a database and I'd like to point out that this is the very first photo I ever took of my future wife! How crazy is that?
