For Michael Robbins, a member of Mighty 8th Media’s web development team, Saturday marked the second most important day of his life.  His wedding!  (The most important was obviously his first day at Mighty 8th.)

To celebrate his pending nuptials to his lovely bride Shayna, we celebrated with a staff lunch last week at our current go-to lunch spot: the new Buford location of Saigon Cafe.  (we’re about to wear that place out.)

It’s always a treat to have everyone together at lunch, especially when we’re in an MSG-induced state of euphoria.  Just look at all these smiling, zombie-like faces…

After Saturday’s outdoor ceremony near Helen, Georgia, Michael and Shayna took off for their honeymoon at Disneyworld in Orlando.  We sent them on their way with custom his-and-hers mouse caps for the bride and groom.

And when we say custom, we mean CUSTOM!

Michael and Shayna, congratulations on your new life together, and we wish you many years of happiness!

And, we expect to see you wearing these hats every time we see you together from now on…

As many of you know, Bradley and his wife Kelly are expecting their THIRD son in just a couple of weeks.  Today we surprised them with an indispensable tool for a growing family just like theirs: the triple stroller.

What better way to cart three young’uns around than with a Joovy Big Caboose?  This thing is the Greyhound Bus of strollers.  With what seems like a fifteen foot wheelbase, they could probably stick 6 kids in this boat of a stroller.

Kelly helped Graham, their eldest son, understand where the big boys get to sit or even stand.

Meanwhile, he was more interested in playing with all the toy airplanes around the office.  The apple didn’t fall far from the tree with this one.

Miles, the soon-to-be “Jan Brady” middle child of the Sherwood clan, was very happy to push this behemoth of a stroller all over the office.  We were extremely impressed with this feat of strength, especially when he picked it up over his head and roared “MARSHA, MARSHA, MARSHA!”

After the unveiling of MEGA STROLLER 3000, we strolled down Main Street for lunch at our very favorite restaurant, Aqua Terra Bistro.

If you haven’t tasted the sublime offerings at Buford’s most famous eatery, then it’s time you stopped by and enjoyed an amazing lunch or dinner.  A long-time client of Mighty 8th Media, Aqua Terra Bistro has several signature dishes on their extensive menus, including the Panko Crusted Tomato. We just launched their new website, which you should check out immediately.

Today’s celebration was a joyous occasion to provide a warm welcome for the newest member of the Sherwood family, and also to spend quality time with each other.  Part of enjoying what we do every day is enjoying the company we keep, and today was another good reminder of how lucky we are to have a strong team with a great bond.

Congratulations to the Sherwood family!
