High School Reunion. Yay or Nay?
My 10-year HS reunion is this Saturday back in MD. I wasn't sure about going, but I had enough airline miles for a free ticket and the reunion tickets are only $50/person. I decided to cash in on the free ticket and make a long weekend out of it. I'll be able to see my brother, his GF and their new house and pets! I'll also get to do some wedding related stuff with my mom which is exciting.
Now that I've got everything booked though, i'm debating about the reunion. Do I really want to spend $50 on a night with people I haven't seen in 10 years? I don't keep in touch with anyone from HS really, not even through FB. I can't decide if it will be fun to catch up with everyone and hear how their lives are going OR if I will feel like an outsider being one of the few people who don't still live in southern MD.
Did you go to your HS reunion? Did you enjoy it? Should I go? Tell me what you think!

BFP#2 12/18/12- EDD 8/31/13 First U/S- 6w4d HB 124! Second U/S- 10w2d HB 178!! Grow baby, grow! NT Scan Scheduled for 2/20/13.
It sounds like there are lots of good reasons to head out to MD anyway, so I would go and make a long weekend out of it.
Still here and still fabulous!
If you get bored and leave, you can be my wedding date. I'll be there alone since H is out of town.
It's really up to you.
I live in such a small area so you pretty much see everyone we went to high school with during the summer out at the bars so I probably wont even go to our ten year either.
Now what to wear??? The invite says "Beach Formal". What the heck is that? Like a maxi dress or something? Maybe I'll go shopping when I get to MD tomorrow.
LaSak - Where in MD??? I'll be in southern Maryland...close to Waldorf. Perhaps a G2G if we can swing it?
[QUOTE]I'll be in western MD, just south of Gettysburg, PA. The wedding starts at 5...I'm not sure what your schedule looks like for that day. Let me know!

Looks like we're about 2.5 hours apart. My reunion doesn't start until 7pm, so guessing i'm not going to make the wedding. Bummer!<img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-frown.gif" border="0" alt="Frown" title="Frown" />

I think we get a 10 year reunion, but I'm not going.
If I went to a smaller school, I would go. But there were almost 550 kids in my graduating class - and frankly, I only care about 20 or so of them.
That sounds harsh, haha. but it's true.

Thumbs down, you would have been a fun date! I hope you have fun at the reunion and it's worth the trip!
ETA: To answer your original question, I did not go to my 5 year reunion because really, what has anyone done in 5 years except finish college? I'll probably go to my 10 year reunion so I can show off my PhD because I was the quiet nerd with no friends in high school.

I went to Mount St. Mary's in Emmitsburg, MD for undergrad and got married there. Our reception was at Ski Liberty...are you familiar with that area? I'm sure it will be a blast. The reception is at one of the hotels in Gettysburg.

<div>YES- such a small world! My first job fresh out of college was at a company in Taneytown. And Ski Liberty was one of the venues I looked at- we ended up choosing The Links at Gettysburg for our wedding. The funny thing is I thought the background of your photo looked familar, but I just chalked it up to deja vu. </div>

What time of year is your wedding? I was at a spring wedding last year at the Links and it was GORGEOUS! It is so beautiful in there.

<div>December. It is defiintely beautiful when it's green, but I love the way it looks during the winter during the snow too. Not to mention I'm a total perfectionist/ Type A, and my coordinator there is the same way. Match made in heaven for sure.</div>

I bet that will be beautiful in December. The inside has such a warm, cozy feel. The reception I'm heading to this weekend is at the Wyndham. With all of my college friends that got married at Mount St. Mary's, I've never been to a reception at the Wyndham before.

<div>That's what I'm hoping- and lots of candles to expand on the warm, cozy feel. The Wyndham is a beautiful hotel, never been to a wedding there, but they did a great job with a bridal show I attended. It is also only a couple of years old, and people assume it's really expensive (when it is actually really affordable), so I think that steers people away from it which is a shame. I'm sure you will have a ton of fun!</div><div>
