we must never forget!
3:30pm:
den, nam, jon, alan and lawrence meet up at my place for pictures + champagne (the torch and the mattress, the man whistling at us in the pickup truck, sinking into the ground with our heels)
5:00pm:
the limo comes! hello luxury! we drive around downtown and take pictures! (serious
lols to the simultaneous head swaying, rice world and the saggy clutch)
6:00pm:
mingling at the front entrance of the Fairmont Waterfront with the rest of the grads + leaving our bags everywhere for the bellboys to trip over (sorry!). not being able to put Alan's boutonniere on but receiving the most beautiful corsage that wouldn't stay on my wrist at first. grrr! we move to the reception area... mingle, mingle, mingle. let us into the ballroom! ice sculpture? can't believe how many times i heard "is it real? lick it!" in one night.
6:45pm:
we walk into the ballroom as the song "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey plays in the background. get to our tables (pretty lights! pretty flowers! table 17!) and wait for our number to be called to get our food. delicious dinner, not so delicious dessert. introducing the slideshow (so cute! so many memories!) and then saying thanks to greenwood + beetlestone + radford. oh, they thanked us too (you're welcome!)
9:15pm:
let's get our dance on!!! doing the running man and the bird with Sadie (we need to stop embarrassing ourselves)... where'd everyone go? the photobooth? coolbeans! we take some photos, almost missed my slow dance with Alan... but lucky me! he finds me as i'm waiting in line and gives me the biggest hug + kiss (best boyfriend ever!). dance some more! (rude boy, your love is my drug, party in the usa, heart breaker).
11:30pm:
time to skidaddle! nam and i head back to my place to change and pre-drink. almost lost my keys... thanks to the lady on the phone for picking them up for me!
1:00am:
we get to the lounge and everyone is here (shots! shots! shots! shots!)... where'd namrta go? found her! where'd namrta go again?... there she is! from the looks of my photos, there was a bit of dancing, mingling and a whole lotta crazy shinanigans (this part of the night was a bit of a blur)...
3:00am:
cops? on their way? now?... let's go! christopher manages to get sadie, nam and myself out of there. "let's walk down this street that we've never seen before!" "okay! we have an umbrella and a map! we must be okay!" we want hot chocolate! there's a chevron there? sweet! (oh, it's closed. we can order through the window? extra sweet!)... "guys, we really need to get a muffin."... we get a muffin. and a sandwich. (why the sandwich?)
4:00am
there's a 24 hour restaurant down the street (let's gooo..!). creepy guy whistles at us then hits on namrta ("oooh, shit! a brown girll? yeyuhh!") get into the restaurant only to be turned away cause we have hot chocoalte, a sandwich + muffin and alcohol hanging out of our pockets and purses. fuck. chug! hide! chug! hide! "can we come in now?" "certainly!"... mmm, food! blink 182 + house showing in the background on mute = most ridiculous music video. sadie wants a slice of chocolate cake but no one else really wants one so she decides to skip out on it... except not. we get cake! definitely a post-party dessert. the waiter leaves us in the restaurant all by ourselves for a little while (serious trust)... we're all about to fall asleep at the table and none of us can speak properly.
5:00am
guys... let's go home! lucky for us, sadies mommy picks us up (love her!). finally, i'm home! the sun is up (the crows are everywhere). alan comes over and before we can share any stories... we fall asleep.
