Shanna & Ryan's Engagement "Celebration"

For the record - there's a difference between THE engagement party and AN engagement celebration. Shanna and Ryan (Ryan really) planned an engagement celebration BUT this was not the engagement party. Confused yet? lol.. Nevertheless, it was a lot of fun and it was very nice for the two families to meet and hang out with some of their Murrells Inlet friends.

We had a great time at the party and spending the weekend at the beach. Ella was confused about not being able to put on her "baby suit" and go swimming or build sandcastles but her bothers kept her entertained most of the time anyway. Shanna and I went shopping for THE dress which was fun. She was beautiful. I knew she would be. I was surprised because I expected to get emotional (aka - cry) but I did not. I took some pictures but I won't share those.
