Tweeet! Game (oops - Shower) on!

Someone wandering down the hall might have thought he had stumbled upon the south wing of the Manitoba Basketball Hall of Fame. That was not the case - it was more like a party room
transformed into a gym.
The officials for the event, and the ultimate planners, were two aunts and two cousins. They took every possible basketball reference, and adapted it to be part of the wedding shower.

Even the food reflected the theme - a snack bar for pre-game and half-time refreshments (note the boxes of popcorn and the candy in the basketball crockpot (referred to in a 60th birthday blog in May). There were even basketball cupcakes to have with the tea and coffee after the game.

While this young man delighted us all with an entertaining pre-game show, he couldn't stay for the whole game, and was gone with Grandpa well before half-time. (He needed his beauty sleep before his real birthday tomorrow!)

Some had travelled for many hours, just for the game!

The game was loosely based on the basketball game we all know and love. What was most familiar was the fact that the refs called whatever they felt like calling! We on the orange team did appreciate the sympathetic basket, however!

Here is the bride, all decked out in her practise finery, courtesy of the orange team who whipped the white (bridal party) team!

And here she is saying a few words of thanks to all who spent so much time and energy organizing, and to all who came and played!
