First Annual Lovers Dinner

My cousin, Trenton, married Beautiful Jenna.

Jenna's parents have always done an annual Lovers Dinner with their adult children who are coupled.

I love seeing their pictures every year of this fun tradition.

I decided to start doing it for our adult, coupled children also.

I didn't sleep for a week prior.
I was constantly thinking about every little detail.

I sent invitations.

I noted that this was a "best dress" event.

And, I planned.

The menu was:

Caeser Salad

Beef Marinara Ziti OR Chicken Alfredo Ziti

Homemade Rolls

Trifol Cake in Chocolate Shells

The decorations were black, red, and gold.

Candlelit, of course!

I wanted to get couples pictures, was so busy serving food and pouring drinks.

I totally forgot and I regret it.

I'll do better next year!

After everyone left, I snapped pictures of myself.

I love this dress.

Some of my favorite discussions:

* This was amazing!

* I can't wait until next year!

* This was so fun!

So many conversations about the three upcoming weddings this year.

SO many, "I love you's!"

I also can't wait until next year.
