livingdebToday was the fake birthday party where my sister's friends got to find out that they are being kidnapped for the weekend for a surprise wedding.
They are already married and are celebrating a wedding anniversary. They were thinking of renewing their vows in some kind of big fancy ceremony but decided they didn't have the money or the time. So my sister spearheaded the campaign to plan a surprise wedding for them. She did an awesome job.
Various quotes got laughs:
"Your wedding ceremony is tomorrow at 2:00."
"Remember when I was asking you about wedding ideas for my boyfriend? I was really finding out about wedding ideas for you."
"Tonight we're hemming your dress."
"You're getting a suit fitted and are going to pick out some shoes." "But I already have boots." "One of our contributors contributed on the condition that he would get to see you in a suit and shoes."
"We asked your children whether various underwear would be soft enough for Dad to wear."
"We got a nice hotel room for you for tomorrow night."
"You have separate rooms at the La Quinta tonight. You will not be seeing each other before the wedding."
I am not a fan of surprises--I don't like the risk, the lying and creative truth telling, and not having warning. However, it looks like this has turned out to be an excellent plan. These two folks are always organizing surprises for other people. One of them is the one who decided my sister should get married in February (although my sister's thinking about waiting for a whole year).
Robin's in charge of some of the photography, so we're invited to the wedding, too.
P.S. I don't ache at all from yesterday's exercise. Woo hoo!
