I had the party at Brian's parent's summer house that sits right on the bay! I invited 80 people( only 10 couldn't attend)!! His mom and I catered the party and even hired 2 waitresses to help with the food and the clean-up!(I will say that was the best thing we did and I recommend it to anyone having a big party like that at their house, it really, really helps).
So - Brian thought we were going to his parent's house for a plain old family BBQ... Little did he know there were 70 people waiting to celebrate with him! He was in complete shock and completely surprised when we walked through the back gate and everyone yelled surprise!!
A great time was had by all, especially the Birthday boy and myself.. I love him so much and was so excited to give him the best birthday ever - a birthday that he completely deserved surrounded by everyone that loves us!
Check out the pics below:
His face in this picture is so priceless!

not sure if you did it on purpose, but one of the labels for this post was "10 reasons to have sex" haha
it was probably a typo of one of the labels from your weekend post, but i think it is fitting anyway. :)
throwing a party like that is pretty much one of the nicest and most fun things you could do for a person & you might as well keep the fun going after everyone leaves LOL
