Our Surprise Party/ Meet & Greet

So last night we went to my uncle's house for surprise "birthday" party.  When we pulled up, I thought that it was odd that some of the cars belonged to OUR friends...then my grandpa pulled in the driveway right behind us (this was odd because my uncle hasn't talked to him in years and I hadn't seen him since my grandma passed away 5 years ago).We turn the corner and there's EVERYONE.  FI's mom, grandma, & brother (who came in town from MO)...my dad & step-mom...and my mom (this wowed me since they still don't get along after being divorced for 32 years!) and almost everyone going to Jamaica for our wedding!It was our surprise Jamaican meet and greet!   I give my uncles huge kudos for making this happen!  They brought our families together and it was just super!Their place was decorated all tropical (seashells & sand & candles everywhere!), they served mainly Jamaican dishes, had plenty of Red Stripes, & rum punch (which I still tasted this morning...whewwww)...oh and the banners that they had made were *terrific*!What a great night...everyone wore huge smiles all night, had a ton of laughs, and everyone even had to tell how they knew us (this was great-fun since nearly everyone was "feeling no pain" by this time).And last night, totally makes everything even more surreal!  And takes a load off my mind...I now know that everyone can (and will!) get along in Negril...just keep the liquor flowing!  ~Ha!So I just had to share this...last night was something that I had wanted to do, but didn't want to put on my plate.  Did I already say "IT WAS AWESOME!"?
