The Big Celebration

It takes a lot to throw off Whitney and one of the hardest things was to get the celebration party together without her knowing it...especially getting her family there. Claire took care of all the legistics of the party because I was focusing on really getting the proposal down. It couldn't have gotten done without her (thanks Claire!) and for everybody else for throwing Whitney off pretty much all month.

While driving down to Arlington, I still had to withhold information from Whitney. We talked about how I talked to her parents and she kept on asking me, "Did they know it was happening today?" I replied with a yes but still had to reveal as little information as possible. Her brother, Jeff, and his family left from their Florida vacation early to get to the party and her parents lied about being in Atlanta, GA, all week while taking camp at Jeff's house in Norman.

Needless to say, she was shocked to see both her family and mine there! I'll let the pictures do the talking...

David greeting us...

I think she was a bit happy to see her family...

We were both quite happy... We couldn't have asked for a more perfect moment!

The Grahams with the Chandlers.... The Jacksons, Benedicts and Rose family.

The friends who helped make it happen....

With friends and family like this, we love being Nathan and Whitney...
