We had a little shindig at Bri's parents' house in Warren for the Fourth. Because we are having a smallish wedding in Philadelphia, we wanted to invite extended family and friends who might not be able to make the trip to Philly to this party. This was an opportunity for a lot of people to meet Carlos and his sister, Margarita and her kids, Christopher and Yaretzy. We ate BBQ, played croquet, and had a run with the sparklers.
On the 5th of July, John & Cathy Zawacki hosted a lovely engagement brunch for us at the Conewango Valley Country Club in Warren. It was an intimate gathering and was another chance for Carlos and his family to get to know more people from Warren, and vice versa.
