Engagement Celebration

CheriGENERAL

December 20, 2013
     marks the date that our Baby Girl said yes when Mike asked her to be his wife.
February 1, 2014
     marks the date we celebrated their engagement.

Three wonderful friends of the couple helped deck out The Cottage with photos of the happy couple and all things glittery, gold, romantic and fun.  They helped with the food, hostess duties, and directing the evening.
They rocked the hostess role!

We went for an eclectic cottage mix for decor
including flowers, gold trays
and the #hashtag

Baby Girl and I both love the ampersand!
