We at The Foundry love it when something happens that hasn’t been done before. A couple of weeks ago, we got a call from Matthew Aronowitz, a husband who got married to his wife at The Foundry August 1st, 2008. He asked if The Foundry was being occupied on Monday, August 1st of this year, and if not, he was hoping to surprise his wife with an anniversary dinner. He let us know that he’s already got a chef, and that all he needed was the place. Allison and Julie can attest that they’ve seen some pretty amazing things over the years, but this was a first for The Foundry in the 10 years of doing events!
Not only did we have this date open, but the three of us were more than happy to pitch in! In addition to setting up the table, we laid out a trail of candles leading up to the back where they would have their romantic dinner for two. We used floral arrangements from the night before and lit up the alcoves, creating a backdrop that we hoped would bring back a bit of nostalgia from the last time they were here.
At last, everything was in place--candles were lit, chefs were sautéing something tasty, and Julie hit play on their song, Billy Joel’s “Just The Way You Are”. 6:00 PM exactly--in walks Michelle…
As you can imagine, Michelle was overcome by emotion when she realized what her husband had surprised her with. After a long moment, they then walked to the back, danced and held each other before taking their seat. After a perfect dinner, they topped off their evening by visiting The Foundry Terrace.
And us? Glad you asked! Well, of course we couldn’t help ourselves from creeping around the corner a couple of times to see how it was going. Without fail, the three of us had our own emotionally pathetic moment - it was a complete love fest! We kept asking, “Who DOES that?”. Well, apparently he goes by the name of Matthew Aronowitz.
Congratulations Michelle and Matthew! Clearly, your marriage continues to be filled with all the right ingredients!
