By 2am everyone's mid-section was sore from hooping and we had to switch over to skiing.

Scott doing some hooping. Unbeknownst to all the party guests, Siege had cut a hole into the top of the projection screen and hidden a video camera. If you look at his right hand you'll see he's holding the remote control he was using to activate the camera and record people hula hooping from the vantage point of the screen! SNEAKY!

As people got drunker, they worked up the courage to try the hula hooping game in Wii Fitness. Missy gets ready to wiggle her middle.

At the other end of the apartment, Siege set up a Wii Fit that was being projected onto a giant movie screen! Hula hooping!

In the game there's a guy who throws a new hula hoop "at you" and you have to stop hula hooping and put both your arms up and lean in order to "catch" it. It's fun.
A couple days after the party, we all received an email from him with a link to a surprise video he'd edited together with all the clandestine hula hooping video he'd shot. It. Is. Amazing. My favorite part is the highlight reel of everyone throwing their hands up and leaning that starts around the 1:45 minute mark (right after Siege does the "white man's overbite") and just keeps getting better. (PS - Make sure you check out Ellen's sideways "tit-sway" at 2:14. Amazing.)

After the shoot we fired up the Wii and got our Wii Fitness on! First up, ski jumping!

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!
