Engagement Party

We were so lucky to have Gill's family and friends through us an engagment party in St. Francisville.  The party was at Aunt Linda and Randy's house.  There was a huge spread of food and drinks and the band was great.  The first hour of the party, the band didn't play, which gave us a chance to visit with our guests.

I didn't take many pictures during the party, but Aunt Lynda was there to capture every moment.  I am sure there will be another post with her pictures.

It was so hot, but they had several tents, lots of fans, and LOTS of cold beverages to help keep us cool.  We had been outside for a while before we took some family pictures... so Gill was a little hot and sweaty.

Gill and his family love to dance and one of my favorite things is to watch him and his mom dance.  They have so much fun together.

We had a great time and I can't wait to see the pictures that Aunt Lynda took.

I wanted to include a picture of our wedding book.  I am absolutely love it.

We also went into Baton Rouge to meet with some florists about the flowers for the wedding.  And we met our fabulous florist, RJ Coco, at Billy Heroman's.  He picked right up on the look I was going for and was able to run with.  Two hours later we had everything planned out.  We are using ranunculus, hydrangea, roses, curly willow and green berries.  All the flowers will be ivory and in various states of bloom.  The wedding plans are definitely all coming together.

I am finishing up addressing the Save-the-Dates and they will go out this week.  I will post a picture of them after everyone has had a chance to receive them.
