Lemme catch you up:
Back in October, our friends, Kia and Mardi, threw us two events: an engagement party at Ozio's Martini Lounge in D.C. and a dinner at Bertucci's Italian Restaurant. They are SOOOO sweet for doing this!
Both events were very informal and we had a blast. While the engagement party was open to whomever wanted to come celebrate with us, the dinner was closed to just our bridal party and their dates. Kia provided champagne and Mardi did a toast to us, which was oddly embarassing since it felt like ALL EYES were on us in the restaurant.
Mardi also made the tastiest and CUTEST cupcakes, vanilla flavored with grand marnier filling and iced with buttercream frosting....*drool*. Each cupcake had a hand-cut picture of me and/or the Man. She later told me that she'd been trying to make the frosting Saffron-colored, but no dice. LOL! I loved them anyway and totally appreciated the effort:
The Man and I had a BLAST at both events and are really grateful for Love. :-)
