Love, marriage and guacamole

My roommate and I have a tradition of reading the weddings and engagements in the Sunday paper. Between the two of us, there's usually someone to read about that we know. For the males reading this, I can't explain it other than to say it's just something we gals like to do. 

This past Sunday morning, Catherine and I read an engagement announcement that brought on tears of laughter and jaw-dropping shock. Could this couple be serious? 

In case you missed it, let me be the first to share. Guys, I promise it is worth reading. It's likely to be the first and last time guacamole will be mentioned in an engagement announcement. 

Emily Erin Goodin and David Michael Castille, both of Baton Rouge, are engaged to be married January 30, 2009, at the Terrell House in New Orleans.

Emily attended Caddo Parish Magnet High School and graduated from LSU. She currently works as a manager at Ann Taylor Loft, where David believes she spends too much money. 

David attended Baton Rouge Magnet High School. He is a graduate of Centenary College and earned his MBA at LSU. David currently works for the Louisiana Department of Economic Development as the assistant director of State Economic Competitiveness Group, where Emily believes he makes posters and does math all day. 

The couple was introduced by their good mutual friend, Shreveport celebrity Jeff Everson in mid 2006. David was immediately smitten with Emily — she was cynical and unemployed. Emily liked how David wore suits to work everyday and did not let her boss him around too much, which was a mistake scores before him had made. He also made her guacamole all the time. Love ensued and David proposed June 20, 2008. 

Although the two are having a private ceremony in New Orleans, they hope their friends will not forget to give them presents. 

They will honeymoon in Anguilla and St. Martin/St Maarten in May.
