I worked on telling my family and friends during the week.
We waited to tell Aaron's family until this weekend because he wanted to tell his dad in person. We decided to invite them over to dinner tonight. We were going to tell his dad on Friday, but his dad went down to his house during the weekend and didn't come back up until today.
So we had a bbq.
Aaron grilled steaks and ribs. I made salad, corn on the cob, watermelon, garlic bread and macaroni salad. Aaron's grandma brought baked beans and his other grandma brought cinnamon apple salad. I also made strawberry cupcakes.
All in all, it was a good dinner. We had two loaves of garlic bread and I accidentally burnt one because I forgot it was in the oven. :(
Grrreat.
We thought his dad was going to come early so we could tell him, sans family. Well he did come early, but he brought everyone with him. Foiling our plans to tell him first.
Aaron kind of just wanted me to walk up to them and just show them my ring. I thought he should at least say something. So he did say something - Angela has something to show you.. (great). So I showed him my ring. Then everyone came over to see it.
Everyone seemed really happy. No one really asked about plans, or anything. His aunt did ask if we set a date. Other than that.. it was pretty uneventful. His dad did come over to talk about the ring. His dad also hugged me on the way out.
Maya, Shaun and Isabella came over as they were leaving. We made margaritas and hung out for a bit.
Now Aaron's in bed and I'm watching Love Actually. So now everyone pretty much knows. Now we can start actually planning. I am going to start calling around tomorrow.
Maya and I might go see dresses on Thursday or Friday. I'm going to try to set up some appointments to see a few places next weekend.
The next few weekends after are pretty busy and we won't be able to go check out places. So next weekend will be our only chance for like most of june, unless we can go on sunday.
Are most places open on sundays? Oh well, I guess I will find out.
Other things I need to be thinking about.. Bridesmaids,etc.
Since a lot of my friends are asking about stuff like that.
