One weekend in March, RJ told Carly that he planned a weekend get away just the 2 of us. Carly was so excited but extremely stressed out as RJ didn't tell her where they were going, what specifically to pack, or what to expect.

He picked her up after school and drove to Bozrah, CT. If you have no idea where that is, we don't either. It's up near Mohegan Sun.

Carly was shocked at the AirBnb he booked. A hot tub, game room, huge yard with a fire pit and an indoor pool. What a weekend!

Slowly, friends started to show up. By the time it was Saturday afternoon, the quiet weekend getaway that Carly was expecting turned into a party of almost 20 of our closest friends and family.

Carly's friend Tina brought a wonderful tequilla bottle pinata to the house, which Carly didn't think anything of because that was something that Tina would do!

Late Saturday afternoon, after everyone was getting ready to go out to Mohegan, we started the pinata. A couple of friends went, and then it was Carly's turn. The blindfold went on, she was lead nowhere near the pinata and looked like an idiot swinging at air. Once Carly's turn was over, she took the blindfold off and RJ was down on one knee. After all of the hysterical crying and constant nodding of her head, Carly said yes!

The quiet weekend turned into a huge celebration of Carly and RJ's engagement. It couldn't have happened without the help of our families and our best friends.
