Harlan Engagement Party

This past weekend Bryan and I drove, with Ryder, up to Harlan to celebrate the 4th of July and attend the Engagement Party his mom, sister, aunts and grammie had planned for us.

The party was so much fun!  It was so nice to meet people that had touched Bryan's life some time in the past 24 years.  The females with some help from his brother, Stephen, and uncle, Leo, decorated and set-up the ElmCrest Community Room.  Bryan and I helped his dad cook the meal (chicken with a white wine sauce, new potatoes, slush fruit salad and salad. About 150 people showed up for a fun filled evening!  Bryan and I want to thank Donna, Mike, Chantel, Diane, Denise, Grammie, Danette, Leo, Collin, Joe, Lisa, Stephen, Katelynn and many others who made the wonderful engagement party possible.  We also want to thank all of those who attended and are supportive of our marriage.  We are so blessed by all of you and pray that we can be a blessing to all of you!

Bryan's mom arranged for Collin's and his friend Joe to be our chauffer in Joe's Chevy Impala to the party. 

Us with our wonderful chauffers! :)

Guess who's legs belong to your better half game...Bryan guessed it correct! 

My turn...Bryan and Aaron (Fox shirt) traded spaces which threw me all off...I chose Justin (2nd from Right) who is the best man in the wedding.

That's all for tonight...need to get back to addressing envelopes!

  3. Great pictures from the party. Seems like it was a wonderful event and it must have taken a lot of effort to host the party for so many guests. I also had a wonderful evening yesterday attending my best friend’s wedding reception at one of the well-known San Francisco wedding venues.
