Engagement Dinner

Greatest friends on Earth

The Ing Women


BFFs

My extended fam

As a final entry to my holiday excerpts, I wanted to show you a dinner my fabulous friends threw for us.

We chose a Chinese resto not too far from my parents house for our 10 course meal which was enjoyed thoroughly amongst some of the best friends I have in this world, missing only a few. It's funny because in London, if I tried to arrange a dinner for 2 weeks time inviting 24 people, it would be next to impossible to have everyone attend. But when your friends love you and have your best interests at heart, everyone is in attendance.

My wedding won't be for another year and a half or so, but these amazing people definitely helped me kick off the planning in good spirits. A very big thank you to my sister, Jody and Kenneth for organising everything.

I read something online the other day that goes something like, 'with true friends, you never have to try to be in their lives.' You just are. Thank you everyone.

Birthday / Engagement Weekend Part II

Tartufo loves Tartufo!


The morning after! This blog has slowly turned from a 'fashion' blog to a 'whatever is going on in Lisa's life' blog. I promise not to turn it into a wedding blog!

Tartufo came along with us to Jurassic coast where we ate the most amazing UK lobster ever. I got to finally sport my new piece of jewelry in the hotel restaurant as well, where everyone clearly knew exactly what had happened last night. Thank goodness for Mass I said Yes :P

I think this birthday weekend will go down as the best one yet. Hopefully we can have our wedding on Mass' birthday to balance it out :)

Birthday Weekend Part I

If we're friends on Facebook you will have known by now that Mass and I are engaged :) I waited almost two weeks to publicly announce the news so I could let it absorb a little.

Although it still sounds funny (but oh so good) to call him my fiancé, I am definitely getting used to the new change in my life.

The proposal happened at some point during my birthday weekend away in Dorset. The above photos were taken, unknowingly, on my last night as a girlfriend. Won't go into too many details here, but the night before was lovely :)
