The wedding is now fifty something days away! We're all getting excited. This wonderful group of friends and neighbours gathered today to help the bride celebrate. These two knew each other before today, but neither one knew that the other knew the bride! (Did you know that one is an angel?)
This was the "young" corner, with the bride, some of her attendants and one of the hostesses.
This was the "not quite so young corner" but it looks as though they were having just as much fun (or more) as was the younger crowd .The one on the right is the other hostess. The shower was at her home.
The bride's neighbours also attended. These two have watched her grow up from the day she arrived. Substitute mom on the left was well known for her "Mr. Dress up Snacks" , and in later years, the golfer on the right was appreciated for her muffins (when the bride worked at the pro shop).
By far the youngest attendee looked after bringing in all the gifts, while the matron of honour (or is it "maid" of honour?) made sure to keep careful record of which gifts were from which guest.
Grandmother of the bride is 100% for attendance so far!
This was the most creatively "wrapped" gift - towels which looked like a wedding cake! Guess who gave those! (Hint: same person who made the shower invitations)
And of course...the best gift of all. The bride is the new owner of the family ugly vase. She gets to store it until another family occasion, when it can be regifted. (Although she says she likes it and will use it!)
Thanks to everyone who organized, provided the great food and beverages, those who attended, and all those who wish the happy couple well. We are blessed to have such good friends and family.
