On Friday, a bunch of eager bees and readers met up at Local West in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan for drinks and wedding talk!
Although it was packed when we first arrived, a few of us still managed to get a table. Luckily, MissAsscher brought name tags and Sharpies, making it much easier to find the meet up for those arriving later on in the evening. The crowd cleared out as the start of the Knicks game approached (the bar was directly across the street from Madison Square Garden) and we were able to take over an entire corner of the bar after some time.
I seriously had such a blast getting a chance to put faces to names that I know well online but have never met in real life. You girls all rock!
A few pictorial recaps from the night…
Latenightsnackin, Miss Hamster, the ever-mature Miss Pug and KellyV
We swapped engagement stories, congratulated very recent-bride Miss Meepsie (who also got married at Battery Gardens, just like Miss Swan but only a week ago!) and even managed to have a non-wedding conversation or two.
Lotam240, Bridepower, Worcesterbride, Shelliduke and Hilsy85 looking sharp!

And finally, the whole group (minus Miss Pug, who had to leave a bit early). What a fine lookin’ bunch!
