What a busy week it has been! Monday was a day and evening full of last minute event finishing touches, set-up and fun. A couple of our clients at work were including is SAS airline’s “Love is in the Air” event and as time came closer to the event somehow my boss and the MM staff ended up tying the loose ends together. Funny how that happens.. 

The event was centered around a wedding celebration for three gay couples from around the world that was chosen by SAS airlines and VisitSweden to participate in the world’s first gay themed wedding on board a flight. The first two couples were married on board a flight from Sweden to New York and the reception followed. The last couple (from the U.S.) were then married after the flight back to Sweden where their honeymoon would follow.

The reception took place at a beautiful venue in the west village called the Ramscale Penthouse. The views were absolutely to die for! To the east you could look out upon all of midtown and then to the west the outdoor patio looked over the Hudson River and at New Jersey. Absolutely stunning. I can’t even imagine living at a place with such a view! The reception was a sweet affair. Delicious catering, cocktails, and don’t let me forget the cupcakes from Kumquat Cupcakery. The candle-lit atmosphere made for an intimate aura of celebration.

This weekend was the best kind. One full of Birthday and holiday parties! After Sam’s surprise Birthday party, it was time to celebrate Chris and some of his friends’ BIrthdays as well. Location? American Retro Bar all the way west in Hell’s Kitchen. Low-key, Ski-ball, and beer pong made it an ideal location to celebrate the boys’ Birthdays. Better yet, it was a great night of celebration for many reasons. One of my favorites being that the ducks stomped the beavers and will officially be heading to the BCS National Championship game! So as you might of guessed it was a fun evening.

Sunday was another first experience for me during my stay in the city! My first Hanukkah party! One of the girls I have become really good friends with here is Jewish and has been doing her best to expose me to the culture, vocab, and now the holidays! It’s definitely a new experience since I was raised Catholic and don’t have any friends on the west coast that are Jewish. It was really fun too! All of her friends and family were very welcoming to having me join and there was delicious food to be had! The kids really stole the spotlight of the night though and we had a lot of fun playing with them and their new toys. I even learned how to play dreidel! 

All and all it was an awesome weekend! One that didn’t include much sleep though.. That can wait until next weekend though right?!
