He Asked And She Said YES! Surprise Engagement Party!

My friend Elizabeth's boyfriend asked a bunch of her friends if we would come and throw a small celebration after he asked her to marry him. He planned to ask her on Mt Mitchell about 2 plus hours from their house. The girls were all waiting to caravan 20 min behind them to set up the celebration!

They're such a sweet couple everyone was thrilled to get to do this for them!  I thought for awhile of what we could do to make it special. I saw a saying "he asked and she said yes" and realized there were exactly enough of us girls going to each wear one of those words on a shirt and line up to face her when she came to the party!  We cut out the letters in fabric and fabric bonded them onto t-shirts

                         We were just hoping these shirts all fit since we guessed sizes!

                                           30 minutes and we had this all together not to shabby

                                     We made them t-shirts that were black/white with LO-VE on each one

Had to have a litte fun while waiting! :)

Ready to greet the couple when they come down the mountain!
