engagement party

our friends threw us our first engagement party last night. now, i am no fan of anything formal - i don't like baby showers, engagement showers, bridal showers, etc. cause i just think people can do better than formal games and opening up presents. make it fun, people.

anyway, i wasn't even really looking forward to going to my own engagement dinner, though i was extremely touched at the thought of it. much of this hesitation had to do with the great book i'm reading at the moment that i didn't want to be torn away from, but whatevs.

we got there, and so many people showed up, and were so excited...and i got it. i completely and utterly get why people do this and go through the formalities. i loved every second of our night last night, and i even cried a little at the thoughtfulness and, i dunno, lovingness of it all.

one of our friends said we were clueless about how to get married properly and needed a straight, southern woman (like herself) to plan for us two knuckleheads. I wouldn’t disagree, cause well we’re just flying blind….but we’re flying together.
