It all started when Aunt Barb decided to come to Canada for Bonnie's wedding. Bonnie is Dave (and Barb's) first cousin. She is sooo much fun and so, everyone was on board when Aunt Barb suggested that we
throw her a shower. The invites went out. Being from Southern Alberta, both Bonnie and Joel have a lot of family. So, there were 55 invites mailed out - to family only! It all turned out really great - thanks to a lot of help! The highlight of the night was Dave's imovie of Joel answering questions about Bonnie. The girls (Sara, Hannah and cousin Carolyn) asked Bonnie predetermined questions and then we showed Joel's answers. She did really well! We also had two "Hutterites" come and give marriage advice!
We had wraps, croissants, heart shaped sandwiches, fruit, veggies, squares, mousse and cupcakes. It was so delicious! Sara and Hannah spent days making heart shaped pink lemonade ice cubes which we floated with limes in water.
So, it was a great success! It's always fun to have a party!
You love to throw a party-and it shows! What great pictures. I love the last of the 3 pink amigas. I'm sure Bonnie loved her night.
ReplyDeleteHey Guys,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of events in such a short time. I'm exhausted just thinking about it. However the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I love parties! Bonnie and hubby really sound like they did it up right. Barb is so fun,and she too knows how to plan a smashing party. Wish I could have been there. Being the grandparents we get the liscense to brag a bit.....We believe our grandchildren are AMAZING.!!!!
That looks and sounds like a really great shower! I think I may have heard about it from our friends (Mike & Shannon Bridge) - who are also related to that couple - cousins I think they said.
ReplyDeleteYour weekend sounded chaotic - glad you made it to almost everything! And that's awesome that Barb and girls could be there for the shower and wedding too. How fun!
Congrats to Matt for such an outstanding season! Way to go!
