Engagement Party Recap

HAPPY MONDAY!!! Hope everyone is doing great :-) As you know, my weekend was filled with fun, love and excitement. Our engagement party was on Saturday and it was a huge success. Darrius and I were so overwhelmed with the love form our family and friends. We were also so busy hosting and talking to everyone, we didn't even get to eat!! LOL.We did take a few pics but honestly, it was cool. Our guests had a wonderful time. As far as my outfit, I opted for all black at the last minute and did some great accessories. To be honest, I was so excited and happy, my outfit didn't count as much as I thought it would. I was comfy, cute and that was what I wanted :-)

The theme was, "Their Favorite Things", so we had a mixture of our fav foods (sushi, pizza, Famous Daves & Olive Garden), a Sweet Shoppe (brownies and an ice cream sundae station), our fav music (Badu, Ledisi, Kindred, etc.), and our pictures were strategically placed as decoration. Also, my mom bought two bunches of orange roses, my fave ;-)

All in all, the event was just the most humbling experience. As we were saying our thank yous, I got so emotional (as I am now while typing this post). Looking around the room, taking it all in, and realizing how blessed Darrius and I are to have such a solid support system just made my heart overflow (and my tears, LoL). I mean, my parents allowed us to have more than 40 people in their home and spent their time and money to make the party happen.While his family took the time out of their weekend to drive (and stay) to where we were to share in this moment with us. Our friends also took the time out of their schedules to come as well and it was SOOO good to see each and every one of them. All I can say is that I am forever grateful for everything...I love my man, my family, and my friends and will never forget that day! #BLESSED
