I Love a Good Engagement Party!

One year from today I will be walking down the aisle to in what is sure to be a fabulous bridesmaids dress to celebrate the wedding of my college bestie, affectionately known as Beebs, and her sweet fiance, Brian! Speaking of fabulous dresses...her's is SUPER FAB, but must remain a secret until the big day! Back in May, we celebrated their engagement with a tres chic fiesta-themed engagement party at Beeb's gorgeous home in Baltimore! I didn't get to blog it then because grad school and EOG's had taken over my life, so I thought what better time to share about it than on their 1 year to the wedding day date!

How cute are they!? And, I just have to brag that I was on their first date! It was while we were freshman in college and we went to McAllisters on Franklin St., and Beebs made me promise that Kyle and I wouldn't hold hands or anything so there wasn't any pressure on them! Now just look at 'em! Precious as can be!

We're not so bad, ourselves! Kyle HATES kissy pictures, but I had to at least pay homage to Beebs and the fact that she's the one who introduced us to the kissy pic!

But, the cutest attendee of the party was....

Dudley! Beebs & Brian's new puppy!

Beebs & Lu...we look goooooooddd!

The Bridal Party! Beebs pointed out that we represent 7 states-- GA, OH, NC, TX, NJ, MD, and IL...amazing that we all were able to be there for this!

 It was the perfect weather for an outdoor party and had the most adorable decorations ever! Take a looksies...

 Beebs and Brian LOVE a good Mexican feast, and the food was delicious! Can I please get some more of those chips and queso!?

Fajita bar, anyone?

From one bar to the next...helloooo candy bar! Beebs wanted bright colors to go w/ the theme, and it looked so gorgeous! Confession--I may or may not have filled 2 whole bags w/ Starbursts and Jolly Ranchers...but I have to say, that candy helped get my kiddos through their EOG remediation...bribery at it's finest!

And, can we please discuss the margarita machine! Beebs & Brian even got their own special, glasses!

 Beebs and her beautiful momma, Ms. Becky!

Of course we couldn't resist a big dance party!

Let's just say it was a very special night! Good friends & family, good weather,  good food, good drinks, good dancing, and lots of laughter! A perfect evening for an amazing couple! And the best news of all...we haven't even gotten to the wedding yet! Bring on the showers, bachelorette parties, and amazing times! 

Happy 1 year until your wedding day, Beebs & Brian!!!
