So, I already had this gorgeous  white RACHEL Rachel Roy dress from The Bay, all I needed was tickets to the ultra exclusive Dîner en Blanc Vancouver.   No problem, right?  Wrong!  I was just plain outta luck until our friends Jen and Remo stepped up and SAVED us by bringing Adam and I as their dates.  As the day approached, planning was crazy.  Tables had to be a certain measurement, I was stressing about place settings (and one unfortunate trip to Bowrings turned into me buying completely unnecessary but pretty dishware that Adam cursed me for when he had to carry it), and we had food to prepare.  You know how the pre-event stress is!  Anyway, the day rolls around and we all make our way to the meeting spot at David Lam Park and then load our things onto a bus.  Well, just a few minutes later we arrived at the waterfront to a Diner en Blanc at Science World.  We all set up shop and made fast friends with those around us.  Between the four of us, we had an absolute feast.  Somehow “will it be enough food?” always turns into a week of leftovers.  Though nothing beat the table down from us that had lobster and melted butter that they kept warm in a thermos! 

There were traditions like the waving of your white cloth napkins to commence the dinner portion of the evening.  As well as the sparklers after everyone is done eating.  Since we were on the water, we all got a gorgeous sunset to add to an already visually stunning event.  And, just like anything you over prepare for, the whole evening went by in a flash.  I’m so happy that we were able to go, thank you again to the Pistors for bringing us!  Already can’t wait for the next DEB, especially since we now know what to expect and will be far more relaxed!
