Last Saturday Joel and I had our engagement party. It was hosted by my good friends Leda and Ryan in the backyard of their new house. It's too bad that many of our friends and loved ones who live far away or had other plans could not make it. Here's a description of the night though, for those of you.
Beautiful candles in mason jars and surrounded by seashells lit our way to the backyard. Once there i was delighted to find yummy homemade watermelon cocktail punch! Watermelon is one of my favorite things. Ryan had rigged a tarp over half the yard incase the dreaded rain in the forecast came for us but luckily there was not a drop all night long. Twinkly lights and more candles gave the yard a warm glow. There were delicious snacks such as crabcakes, and dumplings, mini pizzas,hummus and countless bottles of beer and champagne. Such spoils! But the best part of the night was undoubtably being surrounded by the significant people in our lives. It was so nice to realize that we get to marry not only each other but also this wonderful group of family and friends. It made me even more excited for the wedding when EVERYONE will be mingling in one place. I've no doubt I will be grinning from ear to ear as I feel the warm glow of saturday night recaptured and at maximum intensity!
Awwwww yeah!!!
