Our Engagement Party
It was a very casual event, a fish fry complete with shrimp and wings....plus all kinds of sides. Justin and I provided the fish, shrimp and wings but my mom, his mom and my maid of honor Cynthia cooked all the sides. My wonderful mom came to my house bright and early and decorated it.....it was red all over. If you know my mom you know she puts her heart into everything she does and this was something she worked hard on. As I stated Justin and I provided the meat, however his poor Granny came over and fried it all. Granny is the best when it comes to cooking, hence why we visit her house every sunday after church.
So a little bit of information before I show you the pictures......
1. My family is on crack...lol (not really but they act like it)
2. As a photographer, I stepped back this time, way back and I am not pleased with the quality of the images ,I didn't trust my daughter enought to let her use my 40d or my 350d so I gave her a point and shoot.....hey what can I say I was getting my drink on but I think she captured the overall fun even if some of it is out of focus.
3. It took me and my daughters (both of them) 3 hours to get all of the staples out of my ceiling and walls. (wait until you see the pics)
4. Justin hates the cowboys but was too tired after working all day to get the food fried to change his shirt, you know the nice one that he was supposed to wear. No I'm not bitter.
5. That white styrofoam cup was full of drank...lol, yes that is how I roll.
6. Yes the champange was cheap
7. Tiffany (my brothers wife, in the purple dress) loves to do her silly pose in ALL pictures.
8. Tj probably killed many birds by letting go all the baloons in the back yard when he maid his 50 million wishes, he was too cute to stop.
9. Never buy 25lbs of fish fillets, 10lbs of jumbo shrimp and 20lbs of wings unless you plan to cook for two days....we didn't even cook it all and still had to ask people to take some of the cooked food home.
and the last bit of important info....
10. Yes it is possible to get hurt while playing dominos, the boys like it loud and rough, that is why they have to be outside.
For your viewing pleasure.....
