There was a conspiracy! My whole family was in on it and the family that will soon be mine too! On Saturday, my sisters threw for me a surprise bridal shower at the Danville Elks. It was fantastic! We were dressed in 1920’s attire and enjoyed a wonderful meal and visits from out of town friends and family. In addition to the many wonderful gifts I was showered with to help me enter this next stage of life prepared. I, of course not knowing about the party (even with my young nephews having knowledge and the invitations not having the detail of the party being a surprise on them) arrived in jeans and a sweater! After being completely dumbfounded for a few moments I was whisked away from my fiance’ and the party to change into my costume. I got to wear a dress of my paternal grandmother’s my mom had brought for me to change into. It was a great party! We dressed some friends and relatives in toilet paper wedding gowns and Jill, the groom’s mom won the Hot Hunk Game, by popping a balloon that had Kevin’s photograph inside! I am so grateful to all of you who helped make the day very special for me. Even those of you who couldn’t make it fear not your thoughts were with me Saturday. And want to thank you all for the wonderful gifts. Kevin and I will use them with fond memories of the friends and family who love and support us in this adventure of love.
