X-Mass / Going Away Party

My last day ended with a great X-Mass Party. The perfect occasion to make it my going away party, because most of my colleagues attended this event.
I got flowers :-)...
I'm going to miss everyone very much and I had a very nice time here, but it's time for a new chapter. New year, new start, new challenge.
GO GO GO!

Happy 25 Party!

A friend from school threw a birthday party. A few friends gathered at his house for a drink and some snacks.
We hadn't seen each other since summer so it was fun to get some updates on everyone.
S. even made cupcakes for everyone. Sooo jummy!

3 Parties

Three parties tonight:
* One birthday diner party for my boyfriend's dad.
* One farewell party for a friend who's moving to Australia. I think it's really brave she's doing this. She's leaving everything behind for love.
* One birthday party of a few friends

Busy night!

Wedfest

The wedding we went to yesterday, theme: Festival.

I was a little skeptic at first, because I didn't know what to expect but it totally worked! It was the best wedding ever!

The invitation we got was a line-up poster (with my name spelled wrong, but that's no biggie). I was quite curious about the whole theme, because it was going to be outside in a big tent. 

We first went to city hall at 11.45h for the actual marriage. 

The happy couple arrived with a bus from De Lijn (our Flemish public transportation), together with the whole family. When I saw the bride coming out of the bus, I had a little teardrop I needed to whipe off my face. She looked beautiful! More beautiful than I already expected her to be. She was perfect!

The ceremony was just like it had to be. The room was full of friends and family who love them very much and everyone was moved by their speeches and when they said I DO. 

We got a drink after the ceremony at city hall. 

At 5.30h we were welcomed at the tent for the party and the food. When we came in, we got a wrist band to enter the party with their names on in black & gold. So cool!

I was really looking forward to what the food would be, since it was a festival theme. There were three foodbooths: Italian with pasta and pizza, fries and hamburgers. There were enough benches and tables to sit and eat. 

The first dance was set by Emzjés. The bride zipped out her wedding dress and had a red strapless dress underneath. They started to dance salsa, I think. I wish I had filmed it instead of taking pictures, because it was MINDBLOWING! They obviously had been taking dance classes to get this right, without anyone knowing. Everyone was completely stunned by this performance. They flipped over each others back and everything! I have no words for this, except: "chapeau"!

After the first dance, the Emzjés did the rest of their set that lasted for more than two hours, I think. They brought some gypsy dancers too. The brides grandfather was in really good shape, because he started to dance with the gypsy girls and everyone followed them to the dancefloor. 

After the Emzjés a DJ did his set. Not always my style of music, but fun to dance at. 

I normally don't dance without drinking, but yesterday I let myself go (not all the way, I still need a drink for that). I had real fun with some of our best friends. 

I think everyone will agree with me that this wedding was totally in style of the bride and groom (party animals) and that this 'Wedfest' was the best wedding EVER!

My boyfriend just woke up and has a major hangover. I'll have to leave you to go and tease him! 

See you tomorrow!

Wasted Wedding

I just got home from the best wedding ever! I'll tell you about it tomorrow. First I got to take care of my wasted boyfriend...
A taste of my story:

Mojito

I love mojitos!
But I don't have a picture this time :-), although I drank enough of those this fine evening!

50 Years

Family get together on my boyfriend's side of the family... The couple was married for 50 years and threw a party.
We were invited to the dinner party too. Always fun when you're invited to dinners like this. Very classy and a variety of tastes.
And I'm not talking about the dessert yet!
Dessert is the most important! You need sugar to rock the dancefloor...! I'm not that much of a dancer, but it's an excuse like no other to loosen up the belt and dive into all those treats!
I'm high on sugar right now. So high I even got the courage to ask my boyfriend's grandfather to dance. A nice slow :-) ! It was a great evening and I enjoyed myself very much!
Next party: 27th of July. Wedding of an ex-colleague of my boyfriend. Looking forward to the dessert ;-) ! But until then, no more sugar! At least, not as much as today...

Gold Party

I'm preparing myself for a fun party. Theme: Gold!

A few friends from my hometown are throwing a birthday party. I'm excited to go, because a lot of people that I haven't seen for a while now, will be there.

I'm not putting on a crazy outfit. Just my regular clothing with some gold coloured accessories. 

See you there, if you were invited!
