No, not me. My Boston best friend! Her now fiance reached out to me about 6 weeks ago to start planning this past Saturday. I went ring shopping with him to make sure he was picking everything she requested in the ring. We worked out the details for Saturday and I threw together their first engagement party that happened about an hour after they got engaged. Everything about the evening was a surprise and it was a complete success! I am so happy for my dear friend and the man she found. He is perfect for her, just as she is for him. They complement each other and have a relationship that I truly admire. My aspiration to is to have such a solid, spiritual relationship with the man I will marry one day. They are the greatest example: to see how much they love each other and love Jesus as individuals and together!
Our good friends who just got married in October were in the Boston Public Gardens snapping pictures during the actual proposal. Visit
Mikhail's blog to see the photos from the exact moment and to read how Jasmine and Alex met. It's the ultimate romance.
Here are some photos and fun moments from the engagement party. Lots of love and props to my sister for helping clean, shop and set-up for the party! You're the best, D! Surprisingly enough, I didn't get a photo of the couple together at the party. Oops!
