Friday evening I attended the surprise engagement party of my childhood friend Leah her fiance David. The fete was romantic in an outdoor setting at Little River State Park. White balloons and pictures of the couple throughout their six years together hung from the branches of hemlock trees. At the entrance of the campsite stood a few white candle lanterns to mark the party entrance. Friends and family of the couple gathered early to decorate and prepare food, unfortunately Leah and David arrived ahead of schedule, but were able to assist in the setup of their own celebration.
The evening was a wonderful success with excellent food and drink and a beautiful cake designed and created by Leah's younger sister and maid of honor, Kate. If Leah's engagement party was a lovely as it was, it only set the bar higher for the rest of her year of celebrations.

A homemade banner hung with care spelled out "Happy Engagement"
The balloons and pictures hung from the trees created a very romantic atmosphere that reflected the couple's love of the outdoors.
The cake created by Kate had a model of Leah's engagement ring encircled the picnicking couple.

Best Wishes and Congratulations Leah and David!
