The Bridal Shower
* May 3rd, 2003*
Homage to Christine
Christine, Glenn's sister and bridesmaid, threw the best
and most beautiful shower for me. She has a heart of gold and went all out for
the special event. Thank you Christine for not only being Glenn's sister, but
my sister too! I love you and I am so lucky to have you in my life.
Thank you so much again and I want everyone to know how big a heart you have
and how special you are to Glenn and I.
-Marina
Decor
The living room was filled with purple and silver
balloons and streamers on the wall. Christine sewed lilac tablecloths for all
the tables in the room. There were vases filled with white and mauve
daisies. On the tables were clear votives with pink candles and purple votives
with lavender candles. The room was exceptionally beautiful.
Games
Christine made a "Marina quiz" for everyone to fill
out. Everyone had lots of fun writing the answers (or what they thought might be
the answers). The winner was Marsha Baxter, followed by Gloria Chin and Eleanor
Villavera. The top three won bingo lottery tickets. If you want to try the
questions yourself, click here.
The Party
Christine made a wishing well, into which everyone had
to place one small gift. Marina got everything from a potato scrubber to
measuring cups. There was lots of food served at the party from hot dog rolls to
jalapeno peppers. It was fantastic! After the meal, Marina worked her way
through the dozens of gifts that filled the Baxter's living room. At the end of
the party, Christine gave out bonbonnieres to everyone (flower pots with a bag
of dirt and flower seeds). The pots were inscribed with the same quote as the
one found on the invitation.
