Rules of Engagement

As you know, I am from a very close, very funny family. Earthling, my nephew, just got engaged.

We’ve all been waiting. Almost from the beginning, we knew this girl was THE ONE. We almost always know. They announced their engagement by sending a series of photos of a hike they took near Google Valley in California, including the photo of the bride-elect and her new ring. We are dancing for joy, that these two dear people have found one another and are committing their futures to one another.

And – the bride-to-be has started a blog called Rules of Engagement. She is a very funny, very clever writer, and will take you step by step through the travails of an American style wedding.

Enjoy!

  2. Ohhhh. . . . I think he has! He was groomsman at my son’s wedding. They are like brothers. Our weddings are celebrations on a grand scale.

  7. For heaven’s sake, how did you ferret out the blog site before the rest of us?! Go, super sleuth! Am so thrilled – what an adventure they have ahead. They are wonderful together.

  8. Hi Sparkle, and glad to see you safely back after the fabulous road trip. I check Google Gastronomy regularly, and noticed Ponti’s name in blue, which means there is a site. Tracked it to her profile, and thus to her blog. And what a great writer she is! I can hardly wait to meet her! Does she also have a noisy family? (like us?)

  9. LOL! She is wonderful and I know you will really like her. I don’t think her family is quite as nosy (or noisy) as ours, but don’t know fur sure. Regardless, she’s gotten the idea of what to expect from US!
