I can't believe it has already been two weeks since Ezra proposed to me. I was just getting used to all of it; however, tonight it was going to start to feel more real. Tonight, we were having our engagement party at my parent's house. It was 9:00 am and Ezra was in the shower and I was waiting for his parents to come. They were going to take us out this morning for breakfast, then later on in the afternoon we were going to go to my parent's house and set up for the party. It was just going to be a small get together, but I was super excited to see all of our friends together again.

Finally, I heard the doorbell ring. So I made my way over to the door and opened it.

"Aria!" Both of his parents said in unison, and then they attacked me with a hug.

"Congratulations!" Ezra's dad said.

"Thanks you so much, John!" I was so happy that I felt comfortable calling his parents by their first names, it was way awkward when I didn't feel comfortable.

"Let me see that ring, Aria!" his mom said, "My son doesn't do too bad, huh?"

I chuckled, "Not bad at all, Victoria!"

"Guys! Let me through, I would like to see more than the hallway." Ezra's younger brother, Zack, pushed through, "Hey!" he gave me a big hug, "so you're going to be my new sister in law?"

"Yes I am!"

"Maybe you can hook me up with one of the bridesmaids?"

"Oh please, Zack, can you go get my phone? I think I left it in the car" his mom asked.

"Sure, I'll be right back."

"So Aria how does it feel?"

"It feels wonderful! I'm so excited to get all of the wedding things planned out, I think we are really going to enjoy doing it. We haven't really talked seriously about any of the big details so maybe while you guys are here we could start?"

"Sure, we would be happy to help..."

"Mom! Dad!" Ezra finally came out of the shower.

"Ezra!" They both hugged him.

"Congratulations!"

"Thanks Dad! Where's Zack?"

"I left my phone in the car, so he's getting it, should be back soon."

"Good, at least he's doing something useful." Ezra laughed. Him and Zack definitely had some playful sibling rivalry going on.

"You know what? Since everyone's ready, let's just meet him down there and we can leave"

So we started to the car, met Zack, and drove to the restaurant. After we went to the restaurant, Ezra's parents and brother checked in to the hotel they were staying at. Finally we all arrived back at our apartment, we had a little bit of time before we had to be at my parent's house.

"So, we finally get to meet the Montgomery's today?" Ezra's dad said.

"Yeah," Ezra said, "They're super nice, you're going to love them."

"What are their names again?" Victoria asked.

"Well, my mom's name is Ella, my dad's name is Byron, and my brother's name is Mike."

"Alright, I'll try my hardest to remember."

"I'm just surprised we haven't met them before," John said.

"Yeah, things just have never worked out when you were visiting."

"That just means you guys will have to visit more!" At this, Ezra shot me a look. He loved his family, but he also very much enjoyed his independence.

"So, have you guys decided on who is going to be the groomsmen and bridesmaids and what not?"

"Zack! Stop it! I'm not hooking you up with anyone!"

"Boys, boys!" I said, "Well, this is one detail we have talked about, and we're going to announce it tonight. My maid of honor is going to be Hanna and the other bridesmaids are going to be Spencer and Emily. They're all friends from high school."

"And my best man is going to be you of course, Zack. Hardy and Aria's brother, Mike, are going to be the other groomsmen."

"Will the all be there tonight?"

"Yes! I can't wait to tell them all!"

We talked for a little bit longer about how our lives were going and how Hollis was, and it was finally time for us to head over to my parents. We took both mine and Ezra's car. because five people could not squish into either of our cars. When we got there, I could tell that Ezra was a little bit nervous, so I pulled him aside. "Hun, why are you nervous?"

"I'm not, Aria."

"Yes you are, I can tell when you're nervous about something."

"It's just our parents are meeting for the first time, what if they don't like each other? They didn't like me at first."

"Ezra, they didn't like you because we were dating and you were my teacher! They are going to love you."

"Well! Are we going or what?" I heard Victoria say.

"Come on," I whispered to Ezra, "They're waiting!"

Ezra took a deep breath, "Okay"

We went into my parent's house, and the first few hellos were a little bit awkward, but it quickly warmed up. Victoria and Ella acted like long lost high school best friends as they were straightening up, Byron and John started cooking together, and Mike and Zack sat on the couch talking about how hot my friends were.

"You know what?" I asked the two boys, "You two disgust me! It's a good thing we're family or else I would think you were both seriously deranged, Can you do something else besides talk about boobs?"

"At least we're not talking about yours!" Mike said, and I playfully swatted at his head.

The party was going to start at 6, so around 4:30 Ezra's family went back to the hotel to change, and Ezra, my family, and I went into the upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms to get ready. The party was set to be in somewhat formal attire, so of course, I wanted to look perfect. I mean it was to celebrate Ezra and I getting engaged. I threw on a ivory satin dress that was trimmed in black with black satin heels that had a bow in the back of the heels. I curled my hair and pulled the front of it back. I also put in diamond stud earrings that complemented my ring beautifully.

When I was done, I knocked on the bathroom door that Ezra was getting ready in. He opened the door, he was wearing black dress pants and a black shirt that was yet to be buttoned. I slipped my arms under his shirt and hugged his bare skin.

"Hi sexy!" I moaned into his muscular chest.

"You're the sexy one!" He pulled away, "Let me get a good look at you! I think I picked a good one!"

I went up on my tippy toes and gave him a kiss, "I think I was the one who got the good one."

He started buttoning his shirt, "Any idea what time it is? There's no clocks in here."

"I think it's around 5:45. Scootch over, you're hogging all the mirror space."

"Sorry! I didn't know you needed so much mirror!" We laughed.

I finished doing my makeup and we went downstairs and waited for the guests to arrive.
