Love & Football

  

To say this post is a little late would be a bit of an understatement. Nevertheless, I wanted to share it with you because it's such a sweet memory for me. 

Two weeks ago, a precious couple from our small group (Brett and Carolyn) got engaged, and I was graciously allowed to be a part of it! Brett asked me to photograph the proposal on Saturday evening, and that was a ton of fun! Most of the pictures from that night are already up on Facebook, so I'll stick to the point of this post in particular. 

The day after their engagement just happened to be Superbowl Sunday (go Giants!!), and we had already planned to entertain some of our sweet friends during the game. Soooooooo....long story short, we decided to throw Carolyn a surprise engagement party!! It ended up being a fun, hybrid party where we celebrated two very wonderful things...love, and football.

We had everyone side a card with words of encouragement and congratulation.

Banner says, "Brett + Carolyn"

We had pictures from the proposal hung on clotheslines throughout the living room.

The cake was topped with a miniature replica of the banner hanging in the living room.

The game was obviously not that exciting

We celebrated Louisiana-style with a traditional Shrimp Boil!

Oh hey there, husband!

We are so very happy for Carolyn and Brett, and we have been so blessed to be a small part of their journey thus far. We can't wait to see how the Lord uses them for his glory!
