Last One!

A couple of weeks ago, we flew back to our old stomping grounds in Atlanta for one last engagement party. This one was a tag-team effort, hosted by Eliza's sister Margaret and brother-in-law Matt, and Ben's friends Matt & Laura and Rebekah & Joel. Rebekah and Joel were generous enough to host the party at their new and beautiful house in Decatur (or Deck-a-tore, as our friend Mike says).

Rebekah and Joel also have a very cute little boy named James who loves to eat ice! And there's nothing he loves more than a cool ice buffet. Feels cool, tastes delicious! Work it, James.

Unfortunately, Ben didn't take any more pictures until the very end of the night, when he bum-rushed the late-night crowd with a series of unwelcome overhead shots on the way out.

Lauren's getting tired...
Eliza waves goodbye to her fans.

After we returned home to Matt and Margaret's house, Eliza was delighted to find a gift certificate for a brand new puppy inside this card. OK, not really, but isn't that how it looks? The girl likes cards. What can you say?Thanks to all of our Atlanta friends for coming to wish us well! And especially to all of the party planners who made it happen. See you in Austin!

The Announcement

Here is our engagement announcement in the Statesboro Herald.

Engagement Photos

Here are some of the photos from our engagement photo shoot. We were not really used to having someone tell us to kiss and laugh over and over again.

This one is Eliza's favorite.


This is what we look like when someone tells us to laugh.


Notice the costume change. We were told to bring a few options.



This wasn't actually part of the photo shoot. This is just a spot in town where we like to stand around, leaning against the wall, looking casual. The photographer just happened to walk by.




The photographer was very big on the "thumb in the pocket" move.



You can't see it, but there was a used hypodermic needle right next to us in this photo. No charge for that.
