Last Thursday, my coworkers threw me a wedding shower! When I walked in the conference room, what I thought was going to be just a cake and some Hawaiian punch turned out to be a full spread on the conference table covered with a tablecloth that matched my colors, cookies, dips, a fruit tray and sandwiches! WOW!
There was so much of it we ended up inviting in other departments to help us finish it off! The department got together and gave us a gift certificate to Lowe's so we can start remodeling the house. When you've lived together for 6 years, you really have all the stuff for your household most people give you at the wedding. What we need to to update that household because it's still somewhere back in the late 60's. Thanks everyone!
Then this past Sunday, my aunts threw a bridal tea for me. We drove out to my aunt's house in Covington and had an old fashioned southern tea party! When we walked in, she had set up a table with little craftable tea hats, ribbons, fake flowers and notions and a hot glue gun so we everyone could decorate a tea hat to wear. Everyone had to bring a tea cup that had some sort of history behind it to tell everyone what that history was.
I don't have an old teacup, just the Walmart variety, so mom dragged out the old china cups for me and my sisters to use. I got one that had belonged to my crazy aunt Thelma.
Fitting.
There were at least 6 different types of teas (my aunt discovered Teavana in the mall), scones and pastries and cucumber salads. And Fiance's mother got a kick out of my crazy female relatives. I also got a bread making machine as a gift!
My little niece Madeline was getting a kick out of being allowed to drink pink lemonade out of her little porcelain Madeline tea cup like a big girl, though my sister practically followed her around ready to catch anything that dropped at a second's notice!
It was a blast!
My list of things to take care of is whittling down.
