The engagement party went very well. We both had tons of fun!! It was a pretty long day… We were both up at like 7am all nervous and ready to go. We got there at like 11, and people started arriving right away. omg we were both so beyond nervous! We never get any attention ever, so to have like 75 people come there just for us was beyond overwhelming. And then we have to go be outgoing and talk to all the people?!?! Seriously? Eek! We’re way too introverted for that.

Anyways, a shot of vodka for each of us at the Pickle Barrel bar while the guests were arriving cleared that up really quick. hee hee.

We made sure to say hi a thousand times to everyone, and went to everyone’s table and all that fun stuff. It’s really amazing and nice to see everyone all together like that!

It was really nice seeing my (Melissa’s) family after so many years! Everyone looks exactly how I remembered them looking. It was really sweet having them all together again.

We also had an awesome friends table, including Linda Wheeler (Our real estate agent) who’s the most amazing person on the planet. And in true Brian and Melissa fashion, whilst everyone was on their third round of the buffet, we went out to the foyer and signed some papers to put an offer in to buy a house. HAHA! Yes, we bought a house literally during our engagement party.

People started heading out soon after, and we took all the gifts back to our place and opened them all. We got so much amazing stuff, but it was even more amazing just seeing all of our friends and family there. We both wish we could get together like this more often!

We’re totally super excited for the wedding now… we can’t wait. But we’re all super scared, because we’re gonna be so bleh after the wedding. Even after the engagement party we were sad, kinda like ‘wow now we just have to wait for the wedding, then it’s all over.’

We want to thank everyone for coming!! You’re all amazing and we really appreciate everyone coming out and celebrating, and all the amazing gifts!! We also wanna thank all those who couldn’t make it, but gave us your congratulations and all that good stuff. And we especially want to thank Brian’s parents for helping put together this absolutley amazing party!!

We both can’t wait to see everyone again (and more!!) at the wedding in September!

Pictures from the party will be up soon! But we need to get some sleep now, we’re super tired, and totally don’t feel like editing a bunch of photos.

Engagement party starts in 2 hours. Eek!! We’re both super nervous… I think it’s because we realize if we’re this nervous for some tiny party at Pickle Barrel, we’re gonna be a thousand million times more nervous for the wedding.

But we’re also super excited!! LOL we’ve both been awake forever, just sitting around waiting to get ready and go. We still have to clean up our place a bit because we’re having people back here afterwards to open gifts, if anyone wants to come. It’ll probably be the last time anyone gets to see Dia.

We’re also pretty excited because we’re gonna sign an offer on a house today… at the party. lol. Our real estate agent Linda is gonna be there, she’s amazing. She’s definitely one of our favourite people. She’s probably sick of us by now though. hehehe.

They’re all mailed!! Spent quite some time last night enveloping all the invites, putting stamps on, licking the envelope closed (I almost threw up…it’s a lot of glue to ingest. I probably surpassed the safe daily limit of glue). So we mailed them all last night, and they should be there tomorrow or Monday.

So just in case we don’t write a new blog until then - welcome everyone who got the invitations!! I know most of you didn’t know about this site, but now you do! Please take a look around, and also click on our banners

I hope everyone RSVP’s soon!! I’m so excited to see who’s coming! We’re both so excited for this party!!! We used Brian’s parents place as the RSVP number instead of ours. So that’s one less thing we need to take care of… which is good, because while I’m the master at creating lists and organizing projects and things, I suck at following up on stuff.. so I can just see people RSVPing then I forget and delete their messages instead.

Oh and tonight was wedding dress shopping night, but I totally forgot it was Valentines Day. So i’ve postponed dress shopping again. I’m gonna have to suck it up and go on a Saturday. So not looking forward to all those girls and busyness, but I don’t know what else to do, or when else to go.

Melissa and I finally got our engagement party invitations printed today. I can’t believe how difficult it was finding someone who could print #10-sized card stock. They told us it would be better if we printed 2 or 3 invitations on standard 8.5×11 card stock and then cut them up afterwards. But we called a Print Three location that was willing to try it out, and it worked out fine.
