Q is for Quite a Night

So where was I?


Oh yes, my Daughter1 is engaged!!!

I wouldn't be posting today, except skipping a letter of the alphabet would make me twitch. I'm going with something short and sweet like the bride-to-be.


Hubs and I collected the happy couple from the Amtrak station while Daughter2 and her boyfriend finished making dinner and setting up for a mini-celebration. Daughter2 bought that super cute bag for her sister and the hot pink package is a personalized Erin Condren Wedding Planner I'd purchased.


Remember I've known for over two months (I know!! Two months!!)  that this day was coming so I had plenty of time to order something personalized. We are huge fans of Erin Condren planners in our house. This one has the names of the bride and groom printed on the cover in a pretty font, but the markers are hiding that.


Daughter2 made these positively fabulous vanilla almond cupcakes with cream cheese icing, complete with silver sprinkles and wedding-y wrappers.


Did I mention they were fabulous? We also had balloons and a banner and a champagne toast and then dinner at 9:30 PM which is just how we roll around here sometimes. 

So far having a bride-to-be in the family is sublime.

Happy Easter everyone!

  5. Aw , this is going to be so much fun to read. I remember having a couple months' heads-up from the grooms who are my sons. Loved planning those intimate little gatherings of late night dinner and cupcakes. Those look fabulous!
