Mike proposed at the end of May 2006, and in August we decided to take a vacation together. We decided to go to California. Mike had never been there and I hadn’t see family for years. After being engaged I had a lot of family who wanted to meet Mike and see the ring. We decided this would be the perfect opportunity to go and visit while still seeing the sites. My grandparents threw both Mike and myself a huge engagement party. My aunts, uncles, cousins, great aunts, great uncles, great cousins, and other family that I have not seen in years were there.
Our engagement party took place on Thursday, August 24, 2006 at 6:00 in the evening (9:00 in eastern time) Not everybody could make because I had family who had planned vacation around that same time, so they couldn’t be with us on our happy day. Family arrived and we were ready to party…dinner consisted of rice, BBQ chicken, different types of Armenian dips for the BBQ, cheese pie (it’s an Armenian dish), hummus, and salad. We toasted with wine and for dessert we had all different types of Armenian pastries. In California there is a strip in Glendale, that is call “Little Armenia” this small strip has some of the best Armenian food you will find on the West side. My grandmother had ordered different types of cakes, and pastries for dessert. My family brought gifts, flowers, wine…that night was the best night of our lives. We laughed, we talked about past memories, we drank, we danced, we had a great time! The following are just some pictures of our engagement party. Some of the pictures are not too clear, because my camera wasn’t that great…I will also post all of the professional pictures taken by the photographer as well..... (coming soon)
