Hey Friends of the Future Bride and Groom!
If you received this GoFundMe link, it is because you are one of the chosen few of Jen and Mikell’s closest friends with whom they’d like to celebrate their engagement. Mikell’s initial plan was to invite people over to their building's rooftop after the engagement and order in some pizzas, but we are hoping to surprise them with something way better!
As you know, Jen is a master of planning. She is incredible at bringing people together and figuring out the ideal schedule to keep everyone entertained. Unfortunately for Jen, an engagement party is the one thing she can't plan for herself. But that’s where we come in! If we all come together we can surprise them both with a night that is truly one to remember, and hopefully up to Jen's high standards ;)
The truth is that Jen and Mikell are both remarkable people who have made every right decision along the way and consistently put others before themselves. Right now they are both the only ones in their families who are currently employed and this has undoubtedly put pressure on them. They have made large financial sacrifices to keep family afloat, and while they are willing to compromise on things like an engagement party, this can be a moment where we show up for them and blow them away with a night that we will all enjoy together.
All funds will go towards venue, food+drinks, music, and ambiance for creating a special intimate evening. If there happens to be any leftover funds it will be put onto a gift card that Jen and Mikell can use to finish furnishing their new apartment.
Here is a link to the venue we are hoping to book: https://www.peerspace.com/pages/listings/5a723c7c86febbf101ca3a04?sort_order=2
We will continue to update this page with progress as plans solidify, and also welcome any ideas and alternative ways of contributing.
PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THIS LINK WITH ANYONE AND KEEP CONFIDENTIAL SO THIS CAN REMAIN A SURPRISE!
Cheers,
Je'kell Engagement Party Planning Committee
