Engagement

Flower Arrangement of the Engagement

Last Saturday Inés and I had our engagement party. It was just a small thing with the kids, Inés' sister, cousin, aunt and some friends. We had a small buffet in the garden including wine and beer. Because Inés' father had not been able to come I had to asked her oldest son Pablo for her hand in marriage. Then I asked Inés herself bringing her a rose in between my teeth. Very romantic! We exchanged our engagement jewellery, two pins of silver and stones forming a Yin and Yang symbol together. We danced, laughed and drank a lot, keep on doing it later on after the kids had went to bed in several bars of Pucón until early morning. That for on Sunday we just had a lazy relaxing day. It was a very nice, good and intense party that makes us looking forward to our wedding in November.

Now we went back to daily business and at the moment apart from observing and helping with the construction of the sauna I am making new cupboards for all the kids. Inés these days won 500.000 Chilean Pesos in the local casino and decided to refurbish the children's rooms with that money. So it seems we are lucky at cards, as well as lucky in love right at the moment. I see this as a good sign for the incoming winter!
