No, not me silly! I got engaged this past February. It’s actually someone who is like a sister to me but no, I’m not talking about Sister Big Eyes, although she just got engaged in May.
OK, no more stalling…IT’S MY FUTURE SISTER-IN-LAW!!! That’s right, Mr. Sword’s Wee Sis got engaged last week to her man, B, and we are so excited and happy for them!! 
Can you tell she’s related to Mr. Sword?
Wee Sis and her guy, B, have been together since Uni (college) and already own a house together (because they are that cool)! It is a real bummer we don’t live closer because they are awesome people and it’s a shame we don’t get to see them very often. It’s hard to have family across the pond, but thankfully with email and Skype, we are able to keep in touch pretty often. I can’t wait to see them in March at our wedding so I can congratulate them in person!
B was quite the romantic when he proposed to Wee Sis! He led her up the front steps and through the house by way of 100 candles and lots of flowers! Wee Sis said that while they had discussed getting married quite a bit, she had no idea when the proposal was coming! She was completely surprised (and a bit warm due to all the candles) when it happened!
Not only am I excited for their wedding because they are part of my new family, but also because it will be my FIRST Scottish wedding in Scotland! True to UK style, they are going to have a long engagement of about two years or more so they can enjoy this special time and save a bit of money. Wee Sis is ready to start reading Weddingbee for ideas, though!
Well, that’s me fresh out of sisters, so unless The Glue is ready to tie the knot (he’s not btw), then I guess I’m done sharing family related engagements for a while!
Just wait till we all start having babies around the same time. Yeesh.

I love to hear engagement stories—did anyone you know recently get engaged? How cool is it that BOTH my sister and Mr. Sword’s sister are engaged?
That is so cool especially the having babies at the same time thing.
Growing up with at least 4 cousins my same age was so much fun, I’m bummed my kids won’t have that.
That’s so exciting! Mr. T and I are the first of our siblings by far to get engaged, so it’ll be a while before we go to a sibling’s wedding.
Congrats on the E! I love stories as well. Actually my best guy friend got married two weeks before we did, the got engaged about 3 months after we did. Then some of my best friends and bms got all pregnant almost right at the same time. One of them had her baby just a month and a half before the wedding and two of my bms were pregnant at our wedding, it was awesome, one of them was already due, and we were joking about how awesome it would had been if she had gone into labor that day! Crazy i know but cool!

It is super exciting to have so many weddings around you! Then once yours is over, you can still revel in weddings for awhile longer and enjoy weddings as a Mrs.! So exciting!
So sweet and fun to have so much love and wedding planning happening at once!
That is so special and awesome that you are all engaged at the same time! You can share this awesome crazy experience all together!
Ahhh congratulations! How exciting to have all these weddings happening at the same time!
Mrs. Sword, Chicago Age and Occupation: 28, Nanny/Actress Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Software Engineer Engagement Date: February 19, 2012 Wedding Date: March 2013 Venue: Embassy Suites Bloomington West in Bloomington, MN About Me: I am a true girly-girl originally from the great state of Minnesota and my fiancé hails from the beautiful country of Scotland. We met and fell in love in our favorite city, Chicago, and are having a blast blending our cultures for "A Highland Fairy Tale" wedding! We are truly a case of opposites attract in that he’s a world traveling introvert and I’m a social butterfly who is never too far from home. We both love hanging out with family and friends, fine dining, and laughing at ourselves. He drinks a lot of beer and I talk too much. We wouldn’t have it any other way!
