On June 6th, 2009 we hosted our engagement party. The guest list was 150 people and realized at one point that why not just surprise everyone and have a JP come and do our civil union then! We had planned our engagement party around a backyard bbq theme so everyone could be relaxed. At first, we were both a bit hesitant on doing it this way but quickly realized we didn't need the $30,000 wedding. My love for Valerie is something I've never experienced and spending that much money wasn't going to change my love...so I proposed the idea we keep with our plan of the engagement party but throw a little something into it. Hence, we are now legally civil unioned in the state of Vermont. Marriage is legal in Sept. and we plan to do a little something then.
We had an amazing turnout, there were 89 people who showed up. Everyone was chilling out, eating bbq food (thanks Aunt Kate, Jessie, Tricia) and listening to music. Later we had a bonfire and all sat around. It was the perfect evening.
You go girl. This is a very cute blog. Do you want to take care of my blog for me too, LOL.
