Drew Meade & Andy Sofield
Adirondack League Club, Old Forge, New York
September 9, 2006
Technically, Drew and Andy married in a Massachusetts courthouse in May 2005. But the couple, for whom it was “love at second or third sight,” kept the union a secret until their “real wedding” last fall, a weekend-long celebration attended by family and friends. “We wanted to host an elegant but rockin’ good time,” Drew says, “with our guests staying on the property and each event building into something bigger.” This meant a Thursday-night barbecue hosted by Andy’s parents, a Friday-evening rehearsal picnic and piano sing-along, and an intimate Saturday-night ceremony followed by a formal dinner. Revelries lasted well into the wee hours: “We had an after-party with buffalo wings and vodka–Red Bull,” Drew says. “Everyone danced up a storm. Republicans took off their shirts. And by Sunday brunch, everyone was acting like old friends—old, happy, hung-over friends.”
