Congratulations Rennie and Dave!

Last week, my dear friend (and bridesmaid!) Rennie got engaged to one of the most wonderful guys I've ever met! 

A couple of years ago, I went to visit Rennie in Philadelphia (she had just moved back there, from California, which is where we met). We went out to The Great American Pub to meet up with a friend of hers. That friend brought a couple of other friends with him and one of those guys was Dave.

Dave proposed on a Tuesday night, in the very same spot where they shared their first kiss. He even took her out to dinner at The Great American Pub beforehand, where they sat at the very same table that we all sat at the night they met!

My phone buzzed on my coffee table and I literally squealed when I opened a text from Rennie saying "Happy to announce... Dave and I are engaged!!! :) oh my goodness!" It included this stunning attachment:

I am so incredibly excited and happy for the two of them. Rennie is one of the greatest, most generous, sweetest, most fun people I know. Ever since we met Dave, I could see that he is a great guy and a perfect match for Ren. It has truly been a joy getting to know him and seeing the love he and Rennie share develop before my eyes. I know that they are going to continue to have a wonderful life together and make each other very happy. I also cannot wait to celebrate with them at their wedding!
