Tuesday nights dinner celebration for Mauricio's 21st birthday could not have been any better. All but a handful of guests invited joined us at Ale House in Denver, located just across the street, better known as I-25, from my house. I arrived early to set up decor and around 7:15 p.m. guests began to arrive. Mauricio joined us close to 8 and was greeted with shouts of joy and a round of applause as he entered our private room we had reserved. Balloons and a custom menu with a birthday message, along with playing cards and dice, topped the tables put together in a U shape in the middle of the room. The view of the city was ever present outside the wall of windows. Our group of 30 included parents, siblings, cousins and friends. Shout out to Meredith and Marc, managers at Ale House for deliverying everything they said they would for our special day. Thank you to Keith and Katie who took care of us and all our guests. While all ate dinner, Mauricio delivered some heart felt words that left some with tears in their eyes. Dessert treats were delicious from The Shoppe, Mauricio's favorite pastry place. Shout out to Emma the HBIC, head baker in charge, who whipped up 12 peanut butter chocolate and 12 tres leches cupcakes for us. PLEASE NOTE: the slideshow begins at the end of the night and ends at the beginning. Photobucket was having some issues.
After the months planning, fine tuning and constant thinking, I am proud that it all came together effortlessly. Not only did all gather for Mauricio's birthday, they were surprised when Jr asked his girlfriend those four words every lady wants to hear: "Will you marry me?" All were left speechless when he got up after Mauricio's speech and said a few words to the lovely Stephanie. Nobody had a clue that was going to happen except me and my brothers. We had purchased the ring a few months ago and I have had it hidden at home and have kept this secret from all, mothers included. This definately brought out the water works in all even Steph's dad. Shout out to Laura and Lindy at the Shane Co. for assisting my bro with this lifechanging purchase. So after all this, the only thing left for us to do is board that plan to VEGAS! We take off today at 2:55 p.m. Mentally I am already there. Let the adventures of Sin City begin. Not only are we celebrating a 21st bday, we will be toasting to the newly engaged couple, Baltazar and Stephanie. Vegas, we're comin!
