A Waynechel Engagement

I have seriously been waiting to post about this for months!! First of all, RACHEL IS ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!! Wayne told us back in August that we has planning to propose to Rachel at the beginning of December, and it was SO hard to keep it a secret. We had so much fun planning and setting up for the engagement party!

On Friday afternoon, Ashley and I left for Abilene in the afternoon and Emily followed soon after. Once we got to town, we met up with Emily Caldwell and went over to Rachel’s parents’ house to set up for a little after party while Wayne and Rachel were busy getting engaged :)

This was while we were setting up. SO excited!

Wayne sent Rachel sweet little notes all day, took her to dinner, then took her to the roof of his old house: where he first told her he loved her. Earlier in the day, we had put little candles and poinsettias on the roof, so everything was decorated.

After Wayne popped the question, they came over to the Jinkerson’s where Wayne and Rachel’s families and friends were waiting, ready to celebrate.

Waiting on them to get there...

The ENGAGED couple!

We spent the next several hours laughing at old pictures, eating, and taking lots of pictures of Rachel’s new GORGEOUS ring. It really was a perfect day.

I am so, so excited for my sweet friends and the journey they have in store. What a blessing to be able to be a part of the their relationship. I seriously do not know two people for perfectly made for each other. The Lord really knew what he was doing when he brought Waynechel together.

Last weekend, Rachel asked us to be bridesmaids too! We are so excited and ready to celebrate! Woohoo!

Hope everyone is feeling loved :)
