“I think my parents originally brought the idea to us for an engagement party, just because we obviously had an unconventional engagement,” Pitt told PEOPLE at the time. “We got engaged and it was a secret for a period of time. So this was a nice idea to bring some of our family and close friends together to celebrate a whole year later.”

Amabile, 36, explained that “it all happened so fast, but now we’re a year down the road and we’ve realized our parents never even met in person yet. This was a good way for our parents to meet and our close friends to meet each other’s close friends.”
“We’re happy that it’s finally happening,” Pitt added, “even though there was a bit of a delay.”
