My cousin, Ben is getting married to the lovely Katie.  She's from Nottingham and the wedding is set for July next year in England.  My Aunt Karen, and cousin Lora through them an engagement party yesterday.  The party was up in Fairfax at the Clubhouse of my cousin Lora's place.

This sign was hanging up on the front door.

This is the food table.  Lots of yummy apps.  There was also bbq that was catered in from Shawn's BBQ.  It's really good food!  :)

There was fally decor all about.  I loved all the pumpkins!

I provided the Music and I took pictures.  This is the sound system I borrowed from Nate's dad.  It's such a simple set up and it's perfect for parties.

Here's the playlist Nate help me make for the party.

My Aunt made some tattoos.  Here's one that my cousin Heather's daughter is showing off.  

SHE SAID YES

Here's my cousin Heather's daughter with my cousin Lora's daughter.  They are splitting images of their mothers.  :)

It was a nice day.  It was great to see some family members I haven't seen in years.  

On the way home we stopped off at IKEA.  We walked around and had dinner there.  I spent $8 on 2 cutting boards, some red mini Christmas baubles and some baking cupcake liners with Christmas baubles.
