How was your weekend? Mine was pretty good. Between PR-ing at a 5k on Saturday morning and enjoying a mother’s day brunch with my in-laws, I attended my brother’s engagement party. He proposed to his fiance, Anne, back in February, and they are getting married in September. Some of Anne’s parents’ buddies wanted to throw a party for the happy couple, and they went all out!
They had cups and napkins with the bride & groom’s names.
Tables and chairs with linens and pinata centerpieces were set-up in the backyard.
These aren’t all the tables. The other ones were set up on the other side of the pool.
Dinner was catered by Mariano’s. (They are known for creating the first frozen margarita machine back in the 70′s.)
Jason Castro (from the 2008 season of American Idol) was the live entertainment. I’m not a huge AI fan, but I knew who he was. He’s got a great voice. I even downloaded one of his songs on iTunes while he was singing it. Ha!
The bride and groom looked happy the whole night. Isn’t that what really matters? Anne has great style. Just check out these shoes.
I had never been to an engagement party until now. If this is what they are all like, count me in! Have you ever been to an engagement party? Are you a Jason Castro fan? (The song of his that I downloaded is “That’s What I’m Here For.” It’s good; you should check it out!)*
Wow that was one awesome soiree!
For reals. Throw in a ceremony and it could have been a wedding!*
How fun! And I love Jason Castro!! He went to A&M, and while he was on American Idol one of the t-shirt shops in College Station started making shirts that said “VOTE CASTRO” on the front and “Jason, not Fidel” on the back. Aggies are just so clever, huh?
Sounds like my kind of t-shirt! Haha!*
ah so fun! I love that the tables had different happy colors.
I only catch 1-2 episodes of American Idol per season (I don’t watch much TV) but I remember liking Jason Castro and thinking that he looked like John Travolta. That’s probably an insult as of late but oh well!
My mom kept saying, “He’s so pretty.” Ha!*
someone’s not tracking your a red raider, huh?*
Raider! Power! Better?*
Sounds and looks like such a fun party! Jason Castro has played at our church in the past – great guy with a great voice. How fun!
PS I love what I could see of the bride’s outfit. Bright colors are my style!
You’d love Anne’s style! She picks out lots of unique pieces and she’s great at accessorizing!*
