Hello again. It’s been a long time. Things have been busy. But I thought I’d check in now that we have less than six months to go.

So, I thought I’d post about the engagement party. I have a lot of pictures from the event, so I thought it’d be more fitting to have a photo heavy post for this event.  We held it at my grandparents’ house in Santa Barbara. We went with a sort of rustic hootenanny vibe since the we had food catered from Beans BBQ.

We had family from both sides, as well as members of the wedding party at the event. We had planned the event in time before Nonny returned to Italy, so she was there as well. I left Gianni alone with the camera for the event, so he took plenty of photos of everyone.

The food was delicious as well. As mentioned earlier, we had our food catered from Beans BBQ and Chris’s mom brought delicious cupcakes.

Once we had some food and drinks, we heard speeches, and recreated the proposal in a spider-less version for everyone to see.

We took a lot of group pictures with the beautiful view behind us. Unfortunately, those pictures are not in my camera. All in all, it was a fun but exhausting day.
