    So I'll be that girl. :)

    It was so fantastic to meet everyone this evening!  What a great group of ladies we had!  Thank you to the fantastic organizers, we had such a awesome turnout.  We should do it again soon!

    It WAS really fun :)

    although the sheer number of people we had was a little intimidating for me! I'm such an introvert :)

    @daydreamwanderer  I'm not a introvert, but the two big tables scared me to! :D

    It was so nice to sit next to you and chat though. :D

    @lolo7835: I might need to get the info for that boot camp from you too, if Miss Boot Camp is taking new sign ups - I wouldn't mind shaping up a bit!

    I wasn't able to go either - sounds like you all had a blast though. Yay for DC brides-to-be (and the "already wives" who give us all great tips!)!!!!

    For sure a tradition - perhaps a monthly/ e/o monthly one? I feel as though I wasn't able to talk to everyone because there were so many of us - but it was great meeting everyone that I could!

    kudos to daydreamwanderer for setting it up, and daniellemybell for the reservation! Thanks again!

    ETA: We should go back to ping pong 1. for the food, and 2. for the drinks! That bartender was so nice - it was like he actually wanted to be at work!

    It was so fun meeting everyone! The food, the drinks and of course the company made for a beautiful evening. I second D'orsay and say that we definitely try to do this more often!

    @acharlestonbride (aka my bff Claire): So glad you came and so glad you joined WB! It's an amazing community and I know you're gonna love it :)

    Glad everyone liked Ping Pong -- I selfishly suggested it because I've always wanted to go there :)

    I had such a great time, especially being new to the city, it was so fun to spend time with girls! I'm afraid my poor husband felt very abandoned though, as I haven't gone out once in the month since we've lived here. I came home to him on the couch surrounded by pizza and rainbow sherbert, looking very forlorn! Maybe we should have a co-ed meet-up sometime so the needy SOs get in on the fun too :)

    Thank you to Daydreamweaver for organizing it, and to Miss Veggie for our adorable bee-pins!

    @dorsay: I agree we should do it regularly!!

    @ribbons: Were you there and I didn't meet you, or were you not able to make it??

    @daniellemybelle: She was at the other table :) and got there right towards the end of cocktail hour, so it was probably just in the bustle!

    @daydreamwanderer: Thanks for posting this pic! I was hoping someone would.

    @daniellemybelle: LOL at the idea of a co-ed Bee get together. My husband would be like HELL NO but it would probably be a good way for him to meet people as he's not that social.

    Definitely had such a great time meeting you all and would totally be up for doing it on a regular basis. I recommend Spider Kelly's in Clarendon - it's newly renovated and is an awesome HH spot with lots of room for all.

    @daniellemybelle: not a bad idea with co-ed meetup - my FH loves to meet new people!

    @elaineathon: i second spider kellys - its quite the spot now that its renivated! and its inexpensive. or baileys as well for the same reasons (games pool etc that if its co-ed the guys can do)

    love the pic of us!  it was fun.  I think the co-ed meet up may be fun.  My FI may like that...he's way more social than i am!  :) 

    @ribbons  - sorry i miseed you.  Wow--we had so many bees at our meetup!

    @futurediplomatswife  i loved the rose lychee martinis!  YUM!

    Good times ladies!
