Engagement Party

The Engagement Party went off beautifully with the exception of the storm that came up about 30 minutes after the start.

That didn't stop everyone from having a fabulous time. Due to the storm, I don't have as many pictures of the decorations as I would have liked. These photos still give you an idea of how lovely the party was and the fun that was had. There were many, many photos of my daughters and their significant others, but I can't post them. Also lots and lots of photos of guests, but I wasn't sure how most of them would feel about their photos being on the internet.

Sooooooo........these are what we're left with:

(all photos taken by my son-in-law. He's so talented and I really appreciate him always taking pictures for me, when I'm sure he'd rather just relax and be a guest at the party. Thanks, Z!)



lovely lanterns....
and
some guests.


one of two food tables
I was very happy with how they looked

Desserts!
polka dot petit fours and mini-cheesecakes!

Little Pissy has cute friends

Pretty Ash...who has been friends with Little P since they were
in kindergarten, me and Hair Guy


Drinkin' (sweet tea~seriously!)

This is what my hair looked like after running
around poolside in the rain bringing in decorations.

I look like an exhausted, drowned rat.

The party was so much fun, but so much work!

I'm glad it went well, but also VERY glad it's over.

Now I can get back to my life of gym-going, tanning, lunches with friends and blogging~which I've really sucked at lately.

I hope to get around to visit everyone in the next few days. :)

  14. Well my dear friend you asked me how my wedding plans are going.. TO HELL Right now.. literally everything I had planned has been tweaked , reworked and redone... until it has become something totally different.. but I am okay.. until yesterday when I had to cancel my wedding cake at Edgars because they do not deliver on Sunday.. and the night before the reception as you know.. they are having a huge party (kids) at the country club and cant be responsible nor do they have the room for the cake.. SOOOOO Tomorrow night I have to meet with a cake lady who will deliver on Sunday... and actually does the whole set up , serving and will box the cake after the ceremony... Just trying not to get too stressed...

  19. Wonderful pictures ... You look terrific. Don't worry about being slow with updating your blog. You are living a real life, not a virtual one!

    Rain is good -- esp. down your way given what a bad drought you guys are in.

    P.S. Who was Cute Boy?

  23. Hi Pissy
    Sorry I have been MIA but I have been having my own ordeals with a car shop!

    Looks like a fun time, and some really good eats, any leftovers?

  24. LLA's blog sent me here -- you rock! And why is it that every southern woman I've ever seen in a picture looks pretty and polished? Even my northern friends who moved south got prettier and more polished. Is it the beer oops I mean sweet tea?
