WEDDING BELLS WILL BE RINGING

AND EMILY WILL GO

FROM MISS TO MRS.

WHEN SHE SAYS 

BUT NOT BEFORE THE AUNTS, KIM, AND BRITTNEY
HOSTED A WEDDING SHOWER.

THE FOOD TABLE WAS A PLENTY,
HIGHLIGHTED BY M'S FAVORITE,
AUNTIE JENNY'S BEAUTIFUL CHEESE BOARD SPREAD.

YOU CAN'T FORGET
MY FAVORITE PART OF ANY PARTY,
THE CAKE!

THE DRINKS WERE
COOL AND REFRESHING
ON THE WARM AFTERNOON

WHICH PROMPTED SOME
TO TAKE THEIR LUNCH OUTSIDE.
JUST LOOK AT NORA
WITH THAT BIG SMILE.
 I ONLY GOT RAE'S BACK SIDE,
BUT A PERFECT SHOT OF THAT CURLY HAIR.

NEXT CAME THE GIFTS,

AND MORE GIFTS,

 AND GIFT CARDS,

AS  BRITTNEY PUT IT,

"FOR HER NEEDS OR WANTS".

THIS QUILT,
MADE FROM ALL EMILY'S  SPECIAL T SHIRTS
THROUGH THE YEARS,
IS FROM HER MOM.

DANA WAS KIND TO SAY IT WAS FROM ME TOO.
SHE DID ALL THE MEASURING,
CUTTING, AND ASSEMBLING.
SINCE I HAVE THE SEWING MACHINE,
I SEWED THE SQUARES TOGETHER.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

THIS ONE WAS ESPECIALLY FUN.

THREE GUESTS POSED AS BRIDES,

AND EACH HAD TWO OTHER GUESTS

ASSEMBLE A WEDDING GOWN FOR THEM

STRICTLY MADE OUT OF TOILET PAPER.

SYDNEY'S, RIGHT OUT OF VOGUE,
HAD A SHORT FRONT
WITH A LONG TRAIN IN THE BACK.
A VERY IN LOOK THIS YEAR!

ELISE'S IS MORE DEMURE,
WITH A HIGHER BODICE,
AND LONG SKIRT.

PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION
TO THE DETAIL ON THE BACK.
BEAUTIFUL!

AND NOW FOR THE MORE MATURE BRIDE,
A LITTLE LESS CLEAVAGE SHOWING,
AND JUST COVERING THE KNEES.
NOTE THE LONG TRAIN,
TRAILING IN THE BACK.

OK YOU YOUNG ONES,
WITH TODAY'S LOOK OF HEADBANDS.
SHE'S NOTHING TO BE LAUGHED AT,
WITH HER BOW VEIL
RIGHT OUT OF THE "80s"

 EMILY LIKED THE ALL OVER LOOK,

AND SHE WON THE PRIZE!

 OK, WE'RE HAVING TOO MUCH FUN,

WHO'S WATCHING THE BABY?

DON'T WORRY ABBEY
SHE DIDN'T EAT TOO MUCH PAPER.

EVERYONE WAS "WATCHING" HER

IT'S JUST THAT SHE'S SO DARN CUTE,

THEY DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE THE PAPER AWAY.

CHEERS "LADIES"
THAT WAS
ONE GREAT SHOWER!
