Surprise! It's a wedding.
Our daughter Lauren became engaged to Beau. in June. We were planning an engagement party this past weekend. Lauren and Beau had been looking at various venues, destinations etc. They have busy lives. Beau teaching, coaching, giving private wrestling lessons and National Guard duty. And Lauren with work and nursing school beginning this month. Last week, six days before the engagement party at our house, Lauren called. "We would like to have a surprise wedding at the engagement party." Decorations and food plans were quickly ramped up (some scrambling was involved). Around 60 guests in attendance with only a very few knowing what was about to happen. It was a very nice ceremony and party enjoyed by all. Turned out great with several people telling me this was the best wedding they had ever attended.
