Got this e-mail from a friend last month announcing her engagement. I can only DREAM of writing an e-mail like this to my family and friends!!!

To my family and friends,

I would like to share some exciting news...last night Kristan (my boyfriend) and I got engaged to be married. About 30 of our friends were witnesses and helped us celebrate at the Shabu-Shabu restaurant.

We are going to have two small ceremonies. The first will be in Korea with our friends here; we are planning to exchange vows on March 24th at Haedong Yonggungsa Temple and then a party after. When we get back State-side we will be heading down to Kristan's brother's house in Mexico where we will be married in front of our friends and families (those of you that can make it.)

From there we will be honeymooning down through Central America and hopefully to South America. We plan on spending the summer back with our friends and family in the US and Canada. (Mostly mooching off their goodwill!)

Anyways, I love you all so much and we can't wait to see all of you soon!

XOXO,

Kristen and Kristan
