Party Hardy and MEXICO!

 
 
Darren and Brittany came into Madison a couple of weekends ago to visit and explore Downtown Madison with us.
 
 
After lots of speculation of where we should take them and what we should do, I made reservations at the Comedy Club and we planned on having dinner at The Old Fashioned.
 
 
Being the Old Fashioned, there was an hour an a half wait and we had to be at the Comedy Club in about two, so we explored State St. and walked into Tutto Pasta. It was yummy, delicious, and there was no wait. Fine by us!
 
Throughout dinner, I knew of Darren's and Brittany's secret idea. They had started to plan their destination wedding and Darren wanted to specially ask Matt to be a groomsman.
 
We needed to get to a bar, find some Smirnoff Ice, and get out our cell phones to get it on camera.
 
After dinner, we walked into an Irish pub and waited for D to order the drink. Of course, just our luck, they didn't carry Smirnoff Ice and Darren had order another girly drink for Matt instead.
 
After we took a couple shots of Jamison, Darren handed Matt the hardcider and a special card that said....
 


Matt read the card, kneeled down on one knee, and chugged the cider for Darren.
 
 
A true bromance.
 
Yes, I'll be your groomsman!
 
 
After I asked a million questions about the wedding (you know me... I LOVE WEDDINGS!), we went to the comedy club for lots of laughs and more drinkies.

 
Drinking yummy frozen drinks preparing for our destination trip!
 
 
Following the comedy club, we headed to Merchant for more fun and yummy craft cocktails.
 
Thanks to Daylight Savings time, we stayed out until technically three, grabbed Taco Bell, and headed home.
 
 

 
 
At home, we decided that since Matt didn't have a Smirnoff Ice at the bar, he should chug another girly cider.
 
Okay! Why not?
 
 
Another one?!
 
Do it!
Do it!

 
This is when Matt got his genius idea.
 
He walked into the other room and came back into the kitchen to chug another cider on one knee.
 
 
Except this time ----
 
 
I'll leave it for your imagine.
 
We stayed up until 5:30 in the morning playing games and eating Taco Bell.
 
Who knew we could still stay up that late!?!?
 
It shocked the hell out of us.
 
Don't worry, though. We felt it the next day.
 

 
 
NOW THE WEDDING.....
 
EEEKKK!!
 
 
April 9th - 14th = Matt, all of his bestest friends, and I in Riviera Maya, Mexico for the Wilkinson/Ebany Wedding!

 
 
 For those of you who don't remember or didn't know-- Our honeymoon was the first time I had ever seen the ocean.
 
 
Looking at the ocean for the first time ever
 
 
I was like a kid on Christmas morning.
 
 
Standing on the beach for the first time ever in Turks and Caicos.
It was simply amazing.
 
 
Matt and I loved the beach life. Piña Coladas with breakfast, the sounds of the waves all day long, Caribbean music in the background, no schedules, no phones...
 
Oh-- it was just bliss.
 
And Riviera Maya, Mexico is going to be absolutely amazing, too!
Ah! I can't wait.
 
149 Days until we're on the beach!!!!!!!
 
151 days until the wedding!!!!!!
 
 
Don't worry D and Brit, I'm counting down for you!
 
 
Can it be April yet?
 

 
For real though.
