Last nights Swedish Sendoff for Cami & Christian was complete and utter per.fec.tion!
Hosted by Caleb & Courtney, {i promise all of my friends don't start with C's ...} who went above and beyond.
I thought I was just coming to a picnic ... but i should have known because with
our friends, it's never just anything.
it was sooo dreamy.
we arrived to see candles draped in banyan trees, a chandelier with babies breath hung from a tree branch, swedish flags lined the way to the party ... people stopped and stared. some even came up to us, b/c they couldn't resist letting us know just how special it all looked.
{i understand these people, i would do the same}
Skål! = Swedish for Cheers
swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes, and asparagus! yummm!
{favorite part of the evening- we each had to write about what we think the person to the left will be doing in one year. . .
some people seemed to write for ages. ( : ... should make for good reads in one year.
and then on the other side - all about us today.}
Cami & Christian - we love you!
Wishing you tons of success in Sweden!
