It is the most amazing house and it was perfect for all of our family members to gather at. Our families hadn't met yet, so this was a rather big night for me and Brian. We were both excited...and I was, umm...a little nervous! lol.
Of course it all went extremely well! No one got lost or said anything embarrassing....that I know of! ;) Here are a few pics from the night:
Brian and I in front of our beautiful tort!
It was a work of art!
There was A LOT of food!
Of course we had an awesome display of pictures starting with baby pics up until now. Brian was the cutest little kid...and I was told that I look exactly the same! haha.
We had a picture frame for our guests to sign and thank you cards for them to take!
The "oh~so~famous prom pose" pic!
We had a very sweet and genuine toast from Randy.
Then it was time for the "how well do you know the couple" game. Our moms both came close, but my mom won by 1 question!
My Grammy and Papa!
They gave us matching t-shirts. For as long as I can remember they've always worn matching t-shirts out in public. It's so they can find each other if they're ever separated! I've always told them that when they pass away I'd like to have their collection of t-shirts so that I can wear them with my husband when we get older. They decided we needed to start our collection now! Such a cute gift!
Brian's Grandpa Richard and Grandma Dorothy who hosted the party for us! Thank you so much!
My Cousin Lane, Aunt Kelli, Uncle Chris, Uncle Jason, Grandma Linda, and Dad with Brian and I at the party.
Bride, Groom, and parents!
Grandpa Richard, Brian, and I after we asked him to be the officiant at our wedding! He was thrilled!
Tempting...very, very tempting! lol.
oh, Love Sweet Love.
As you can see it was a great party filled with many people we care for and love. It was such a great feeling to have all of those people in one place celebrating our engagement. We are so blessed to have such supportive, kind, and loving families. Thank you to everyone who came out!

Looks so beautiful and exciting! I'm so happy you both have wonderful families to celebrate the engagement with! That cake looks beautiful and your dress does too!
ReplyDeleteI'm super nervous because I have a bridal shower coming up in less than a month and the attendees are everybody from Levis church (independent southern Baptist), my step-mom and her daughters, sister and her mother in-law, and my mom and some of her friends! Eeek!
Keep posting! I am so excited about your wedding!
