Not only has the past month been a very exciting time for me, it’s been an amazing time for several of my local gal pals too.

This past Saturday night, Philip and I attended the wedding of a couple we’ve known for quite some time now. (It was at Journey, by the way. Our church. So my ulterior motive was to see how they decorated and set up the place. Hehe. Kidding! Kinda.)

It was a BEAUTIFUL wedding. Their colors were black and white with touches of pink.

Thanks to our close friend Alisa for snapping this photo. Look at them! Aren’t they adorable? He truly cherishes her. Not only could you tell as they spoke their vows to each other, but just being around them makes you happy and full of love. I’m truly blessed to have friends like them. Thank you, Jake and Heylee, for being two wonderful people. We feel privileged to have been a part of your big day.

Little did we know that, while we were at this wedding, another friend was  on his knee, popping the question just a few buildings away!

Philip and I have known Loyd and Deeann for a little over a year now. (I think? Times flies!) We met them through our small group at church. They’ve been dating for about four years and, according to Deeann, had also been talking about marriage for a bit.

Well, for the past few weeks Loyd had been devising the perfect proposal plan. He TOTALLY pulled it off without a hitch! (This plan was detailed! Too intricate for me to even detail here!) So while we were at Jake and Heylee’s wedding on Saturday night, Loyd, Deeann and both of their families were also at The Factory to be a part of Loyd and Deeann’s proposal. Here’s a photo taken after she said yes:

Talk about beautiful, happy smiles. I love it. This photo was taken as they were walking into Saffire restaurant at The Factory – where their families were anxiously awaiting them.

This past weekend was incredible…and full of love, happy couples and wonderful friends.
