When we were asked to host a girl's movie night for The Choice, we had to jump into the opportunity. We love Nicholas Sparks and his books. Anything that man writes or produced, we must read/watch. Although we know he likes giving us anxiety, Nicholas sure knows how to swoon any girl. Which you will be able to view our reactions through some our snapchats we saved. Throughout the movie the girls and I (Leydy) would either be swooning, crying or screaming out loud. 

Before I get through out movie night, I want to share this cute image that was shared on our social media pages.

Isn't this package amazing? All we needed is a (or two or three... or four) glass of wine. Thank you so much Lionsgate for this package!

As I arrived at Aurora's house, we had to make a cute set up to take a picture to share on our social media. Of course we had to add our bottle of wine, well one of them. (Karina's pic)

As soon as this as we finished taking this picture, with our glasses full, our food ready, we went to the family room sat down and started our night. 

We've discovered the beauty of Snapchat and here are so of our reactions while watching The Choice. Yes, wine does crazy things...

Let's be honest, the first thing that comes in mind when you're watching a Nicholas Sparks movie is, WHO WILL DIE? Yes, that was our first question of the night. And we had to put that our our Snapchat.

I had to take a closer picture of our new wine glasses. These are adorable and they match the movie. 

Let's talk about the movie! Gabby is Travis neighbor and she goes off on him because she is blaming his dog in getting her dog pregnant. She's a little fierce person. Gabby has a boyfriend but sparks between her and Travis are off the roof and soon she will start getting attached to him. 

Typical Nicholas... Making us swoon only to make our temperature high within seconds. Here we are swooning like little girls only to be screaming SHE DOESN'T DESERVE YOU!

Just to freak you how and make you go back to WHO WILL DIE?!

And make you cry and not be ashamed.

Just so he can be like - Just kidding, here is the happy ending.

The Choice is yet again another of Nicholas' love story that is completely sure to pull on your heart strings and keep you riveted. Even if the story is predictable, Benjamin Walker and Teresa Palmer are a refreshing duo that keeps your interest and the director managed to present us a lovely love story.

So if you are in the mood for a romance movie, make sure to purchase The Choice.

Thank you Lionsgate for the movie night swags and The Choice. This was surely a great movie to share with the girls!

THE CHOICE

In Theaters February 5, 2016 

When feisty medical student Gabby Holland moves in next door to perennial ladies' man Travis Shaw, it sends them both on a romantic journey neither ever dreamed possible.

After a whirlwind courtship, Gabby and Travis wed and build a family together, making every decision hand-in-hand until one of them is forced to make the most important choice of their life alone. A poignant and life-affirming celebration of love, marriage and family that explores the most heart-wrenching question of all: how far would you go to keep the hope of love alive?
