So, we paid a surprise visit to Ben's mom so that Ben could try on tuxes, we meet up with my dad so that he could see our wedding venue, and we could see one of Ben's best friends while he was in town for Labor Day weekend.  It just so happened that we picked an amazing time to come.  We were able to crash a superb dinner at which we got to meet Ben's stepbrother's lovely girlfriend.  It was BYOB.  We brought 6 bottles, but we definitely had at least 1.5 bottles left.....
