Meet the Parents

Since we're getting married in just under four months, Brodie and I decided it was time that our parents should sit down and meet.  Let me start this off by saying this is not the first time they've met.  George Downs may be a familiar name to members of my close family, or old friends of the family.  To make a long story short, Brodie's dad (George Downs) and my dad, actually spent many a days together when they were growing up!  Brodie's grandparents, lived down the street from my grandparents on Edsall Road, and since they were around the same age, they ended up crossing paths more frequently than not!  Eventually they went their separate ways and lost touch, but as soon as Brodie and I started dated, we definitely heard about all the history!  

Anyways...the Downs Family came over to my parents house last weekend for dinner, and we had a great time.  My dad and his dad spent time reminiscing, but it was also just fun to all be able to get to know each other and share great conversation and food!

Here are a few shots of me with my mom and Mrs. Downs.  My Aunt Debbie got all of us these adorable wine glasses so we could use them during the preparatory celebrations! (Thanks again Aunt Deb!)
