Here Comes The Bride

How many weddings can one girl be in? Well, besides Jane Nichols from 27 Dresses... I don't think I'll be in 27 weddings in the next few years. But that's only because I don't have 27 close friends. ;)
Clara, of course, got engaged in June. We were expecting that one... actually, I used to write on both their Facebook walls and ask if they were engaged yet. It was very exciting when Jason proposed, because it had finally happened. She asked me a few weeks ago to be a bridesmaid, and of course I said yes, because we daydreamed together about her wedding the whole time we were roommates. :)
Then there was Leah, who is a very sweet friend who's dating Natalie's boyfriend's best friend. That wasn't too much of a surprise, because she and Andy are both seniors this year and have been dating since I've known them.
And then came Saturday. Natalie's boyfriend Dane and Mary Beth's boyfriend Jim came to visit; we hung out, played Settlers of Catan, and then they had some couple time... but then they left, promising to return soon, and we sat down to do homework.
So when Mary Beth dragged Natalie and I into my room and shut the door, we wondered if she could possibly be telling us what we thought. And we were right! Mary Beth is engaged!! To make things even more romantic than they already are around here, Jim proposed months earlier than he had planned to- as in, seven months earlier- and said he just loved her so much that he couldn't help asking her then and there. Don't you love it!?
Sunday afternoon Mary Beth told us that she had gone to meet our friend Catherine for church and she had come out of her room with a ring on! She and Tim are very cute together, and even Dr. Clark got sentimental about them in Music History.
Time to start planning weddings... :)
