Barry and Bethanie had a very engaging flight on Friday night. Barry rented a plane and took off out of Lakeville airport. As they headed south Bethanie coaxed Barry toward Chester Avenue and a pass over the farm. Little did Bethanie know that earlier on Friday Barry went to the farm and using Christmas lights spelled out the words "Marry Me" in the back yard. With a little help from Jeff the lights were plugged in when the plane flew over the farm. I'm not sure what the initial reaction was, but I can tell you that Bethanie is sporting a beautiful diamond ring. Yes, they are engaged. Congratulations!! AND, they were very excited when I mentioned a "Harley" themed wedding ceremony. It will be an outdoor event. Jeff can ride Bethanie down the aisle on his Harley and then after the "I do's", Bethanie can ride back out with Barry on his Harley. How romantic!! Instead of tuxedos the guys will wear leather chaps and the bride will wear a beautiful white leather dress. Then we'll do a traditional group ride to the reception. It'll be great fun.
Ok, the Harley deal isn't really going to happen BUT, the engagment is for real. A date has not been sent, but it will be next fall aftery Beth's friend Audrey returns from Africa.

Woo-hoo! That is wonderful news! Congrats Bethanie and Berry! Love -Jesse and Ben.
I'm Barry's cousin, and I'm just popping in to say CONGRATULATIONS! Barry sent a family-wide e-mail this morning (including a link to your family's blog), and I'd just like to say that Bethanie seems like a peach, I KNOW Barry's a catch, and I couldn't be happier that two terrific people have found each other.
Looking forward to meeting everyone at the wedding!
(Harleys and leather bridesmaid dresses sound swell to me, by the way...)
