my little brother got engaged before me.
we kind of predicted that would happen a few years ago at a family dinner. and yup, totally right. he's engaged before i even have a serious boyfriend. took some therapy to work through that one :) no seriously.
this is the first time our immediate family has shifted. well, in fact, we don't have much extended family, so this feels like the first big shift in general. we're all so excited to add another member to our already huge family! the proposal was one of the best i've heard of. he bought her the actual bench they sat on for their first date at knotts berry farm. translation: he convinced knotts to sell him a bench. he's the man.
they came over the other day to hang, and cosmo decided it would be a great time to break out of his shell and fly over to Paige. this is not normal for him. he's normally magnetized to his cage and won't leave. he's getting bolder by the day. the little sweetie.

So my boyfriend had just recently enlightened me of a family tradition (not sure how/where it originated) that occurs when younger siblings marry before older ones. Apparently the older single siblings have to dance in a pig trough at the wedding of the younger sibling. So hopefully you won't have to partake in any of that ;)

(03.10.11 @ 08:55 AM)Aww, congrats to them! He's definitely a baller for buying the bench. First time I've ever heard of someone doing that! I love these photos - your depth of field always mesmerizes me. :)
(03.10.11 @ 10:22 AM)Woah... That was pretty brilliant of him. Congrats to them! I can see why you would feel sufficiently, awkward??, about that. I'm not sure what the right word is.
xoxo
(03.10.11 @ 11:03 AM)I really really like them. And I like that Cosmo likes Paige. That's great news!
