Everyone Should Get Married on New Year’s Eve

Remember that last scene in When Harry Met Sally? It’s New Year’s Eve and Sally is at a fabulous party and she’s wearing this fabulous black strapless dress? There are golden balloons and champagne everywhere, and everyone looks like they’re having an amazing night? Then Harry shows up in his late 80s blue jeans, professes his love, they kiss and OMG IT’S PERFECT?

Definitely one of my all time favorite movies. The NY Times just wrote a wonderful travel article about all it’s NYC on location scenes: “In the Footsteps of Harry and Sally“. Definitely adding a tour to my NYC 2017 To-Do List!

I watched this movie at a sleep over when I was 13 years old. A lot of the movie’s brilliance was lost on me. I thought that was just how some ladies eat pastrami sandwiches! I also assumed when I grew up, all New Year’s Eves would be just as fabulous as Harry and Sally’s. Declarations of love included.

Needless to say, I’ve been sorely disappointed every year of my adult life thus far. That is, until this year! December 31st, 2016, all my childhood NYE fantasies came true! DECLARATIONS OF LOVE INCLUDED!!

No, none of them were directed toward me!

One of my best friends got married this New Year’s Eve. She just so happens to be the friend with whom I watched When Harry Met Sally for the first time nearly two decades ago! It was a perfect, gorgeous wedding: champagne everywhere, a packed gleeful dance floor, and a playlist so fantastic it couldn’t possibly be interrupted for a dreary “Auld Lang Syne”. Obviously this party even exceeded my most Hollywood-esque childhood dreams. Even though I didn’t wear a black strapless dress: sequin and sparkle were the suggested dress code. How awesome is that? Can I live in a world where that’s the dress code every day? NO one showed up in jeans!

I hope your New Year’s Eve was just as wonderful as mine was! I also hope one of your friends decides to get married on New Year’s Eve. Let me tell you, not kissing someone at midnight is a lot better when you can whistle for the bride and groom sharing their first kiss of the New Year AND the rest of their lives together!

  1. I always said IF I get married (that’s starting to feel more & more like a Fantasy World) I’d want to do it on NYE. OR, at the very least, GO to a wedding on New Year’s Eve. I think there’s something so fun, magical, exciting and energetic about the ball dropping, and if you get to do it with all the people you love, there isn’t much better than that. Plus I love all the glitz & glam. AND WHEN HARRY MET SALLY IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER. Happy New Year, my friend!

    1. Yes! My friend who got married is not known for glitz and glam – she digs in the dirt for her career and lives in Converse, but she got all glitzy for the wedding and it was awesome! Who doesn’t love the rare excuse to wear sequins.
      Also, I’m glad you understand where When Harry Met Sally belongs in “Best Movies of All Time” hierarchy!
