EB Gets Engaged

I mentioned before about my best friends engagement in September and how I was going to do a separate post about it because of all the fun and photos. The engagement took place on 9-10-11 and I know it's been almost over a month ... however I wanted to give the bride to be all of the photos FIRST before I posted them here and on Facebook. I tried to get as many photos of the day as I could. However, riding around on a bike and being prego with no stability was quite difficult, but I think I got enough photos to tell the story (or I hope so).

Mission Elizabeth and Joshua Tie the Knot!!
 (Disclaimer: I did not come up with that title - the groom to be used that as a subject title to mass email he sent out days before the big I DO!)

The shorten version of the plan for the engagement went a little like this:

-Liz’s closest friends and family drive/fly to Michigan in the morning to get prepared for the scavenger hunt that will end with hopefully Liz saying YES to Josh’s proposal.

-Liz did NOT know who was involved in the plan until each stop on the hunt. I believe there were 7 or 8 stops total.

-At each location there was a new set of family or friends waiting for Liz to arrive. She was then given a new clue and everyone joined her on a bike ride to the next stop! (These clues lead from a bike shop, to her aunts house, a coffee shop and more!) Also Molly, Cassie and myself were clue number three. We were the first group of people that were not supposed to be in MI, so this is when Liz said she was now VERY curious as to what was going on. That part was so fun for the 4 of us girls to share. Then when Liz saw her niece (who lives in Maryland) come around the corner at the coffee shop to give her the next clue... Liz was SO happy a few tears let go. So awesome to see the joy!

-The last  clue led Liz up 300 steps to Josh down on one knee and he rest is history. OH WAIT! She said YES!!! Now the rest is history….  

Enjoy the photos!

I had such a great time being a part of her big day! There are a ton more photos that I want to share, but it was so hard to pick just a few. The whole day was so much fun and really a great memory for her to hold on to for the rest of their lives!! So happy I was there to celebrate with the soon to be Mr. and Mrs. Roberts!!! Let the wedding planning begin! :)
