THE WKND SOCIAL: COUPLES

The June edition of The WKND Social has come and gone but thanks to our photographer Stephanie O'Connor one can always revisit the day by checking out each events respective album. As event organisers we can all cite different reasons why we chose to create such an event and what we love most about it. One of the things I love about The WKND Social is that its a good "date" event. We've had our share of beautiful couples attending the event, boyfriends & girlfriends, boyfriends & boyfriends, girlfriends & girlfriends as well as husbands and wives. Theres a soul to the event that sets it apart from taking your significant other to the clurrrb. I'm not saying theres anything wrong with the club scene just we all know it can be a little uhm, relationship unfriendly. The full experience offers a social setting where couples can go about the business of flirting and getting to know each other whilst enjoying the general ambience or if you'd like, you can mingle with the rest of your table reducing the pressure for some of you "first daters":-) There are points of conversation to help those who of you who struggle with establishing some kind of rapport, stumbling into conversation. You can avoid the tired weather conversation prelude by talking about the good food and the yummy cocktail offerings. People watching is an activity that has often gotten even the most unlikeliest individuals into some kind banter. Its fickle but true. With the well dressed and dare I say good looking crowd that frequents the event who's wearing what should be a promising talking point if you're thus inclined. Social events always present an opportunity for you to share a drink with somebody that you would have otherwise never met. At the social I've often shared a drink as well as a DMC or two followed by a young get down with people whose paths wouldn't have ordinarily crossed my own. But, like I said, these are opportunities and opportunities by their very nature require you to step up and put yourself out there.

After the conversation and mingling theres the after party whos curated playlist includes a handful of slow jams! Proving to all non believers that the 90's was indeed a good era for RNB. During these moments I'm catapulted to memories of my school socials. The major difference being; the missing matron insisting we keep some room for the holy spirit. hahaha

Anyway, here are some couple pics from the last couple of events.

Feast!
