As we all know, Aykut proposed to Brittney on August 6, in a row boat while paddling the gorgeous Green Lakes. Brittney had no clue it was coming-total surprise! Their wedding date is August 6, 2011...and even though it's almost a year away, there seems like there is a plethora of tasks to get accomplished from now until then. She asked me to be the maid-of-honor, which of course I said yes! To celebrate, we threw an engagement party with family, friends, food, games and alcohol :)
Matt prepared the fire pit for people to gather around
What would an engagement party be without fun, silly games?! The Newlywed Game was a big hit. It was interesting to see which couples know more about each in correlation to the length of time they've known each other. Nana and Papa, who obviously were the pair married the longest, rocked the first round and were right at the top for the second round.
Great Nana laughed so much that night that I'm sure she must have had a sore stomach the next day! Like Matt and I (who didn't play because we were the "gameshow hosts"), she got ammusment just from the others' answers.
Kelly and Shannon didn't have dates that night so they graciously partnered up together-which was rather entertaining due to the fact that they had just met that night, however they won the second round and came in right at the top the first. Plus, their answers envoked plenty of laughter out of the group, especially from the questions "Does your partner think he is a better lover than he looks, or looks better than he is a lover" and "You don't like it when you partner puts (what) (where) "
I was delighted to have the opportunity to host this celebration for them and look forward to being a part of the multitude of preparing and celebrating that comes with a wedding, especially the bachelorette party ;)
