A few months ago Jon flew Mandy to Roche Harbor and proposed. Of course she said YES and now they are planning their wedding!
They are planning on getting married Feb. 3rd 2013 (the 10 year anniversary of their first date) in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I couldn't be more excited.
We hosted an engagement party for them this weekend. We had Jon's family (with the exception of a few that were sick), our family, and lots of great friends over. Everyone had such a great time.
Of course Wood man and Monica made an appearance. They were even decked out in their Mexican gear. I think that means they want to go to the wedding too!
Mandy gave her bridesmaids festive little pails filled with champagne, a fun colored passport holder, and a cute little note asking us to be her bridesmaids. Her bridesmaids will be me, Julie, Annea, and Jon's sisters: Hana, Ksavera, and Erin. (Annea and Erin were both sick and couldn't make it to the party to celebrate).
Congrats to the happy couple! We couldn't be more excited for them. They are wonderful together and Jon is a perfect addition to our family.
Oh... I am so so so bummed I couldn't make it. I seriously thought I was gonna end up at your place of work... I kept telling my mom to call 911 and have them take me to the hospital. I've been promising mandy and Jon a blog post and I was planning to do the exact same post after the engagement party... I might still do it, please don't be mad at me for copying you ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great evening! Thank you to you and Lance for throwing an amazing Engagement Party. It was such a nice group with all the friends and family. I enjoyed meeting more of your family and seeing some of Jon's friends that we hadn't seen in awhile. The food and decorations were great and i loved the slide show. I am very honored to be apart of the Bridal Party and cannot wait for the PLANNING! The Rychlinski family is READY to welcome the well over due... Mrs. Miranda Rychlinski:)
