Jen and Josh, the happy couple
Last weekend I had the pleasure of spending the evening with one of my oldest friends, Jen. Jen has been living in New York for the last couple of years, so I hardly ever get to see her. She recently got engaged and brought her fiance, Josh back to Grosse Pointe for a visit. Jen's parents threw her a beautiful engagement party while she and Josh were in town, so naturally I had to be there to celebrate one of my oldest friends getting hitched!
I threw on a cute Ralph sun dress, some light pink Jack Rogers, a perfectly coordinated necklace, and had my friend Kelsey put my hair into a pretty bun. I am so glad I got a little dressed up since the cocktail party wound up being rather dressy. My Josh (when Jen is involved we have to distinguish between her Josh and my Josh, yes it does get confusing) was kind of upset with me since I told him boat shoes, khaki shorts and a button down would be dressy enough. Almost all the other men at the party were in sport coats...lesson learned. He still looked great though if I do say so myself.
The dessert table was just too good to be true! Those lemon bars were deadly. I'm pretty sure I ate at least four or five of them...
Brie, chutney, and real whipped cream = heaven!
This was the only dessert that I didn't try, a girl has to draw the line somewhere,
but it was too pretty not to capture.
Jen's parents' backyard was immaculate, and the outdoor tables had the cutest centerpieces!
Jen's engagement party was a great time, and I was so excited I finally got to spend some time with her and her fiance. I am so happy for Jen and Josh and cannot wait to be the best dressed guest at the wedding next summer! Love you Jen!
