I love the idea of an engagement party – a chance to celebrate your forthcoming marriage with all of your family and friends! And when your cousin is a fabulous wedding planner (Maria of Flawless By Maria) and her family used to own the restaurant (Sherwood Grill in Sherwood Park) it’s easy to put together an awesome bash.

Here are Michelle & Tim with Maria and her husband.

Behind the scenes at the Sherwood Grill

Tim gave a touching speech.

One thing we’ve learned – the Greeks know how to party!! I can’t wait to see all the dancing at the wedding!
