I am elated, a beautiful,sweet couple.Please pray for God's blessings on them.

Really,you never heard of a wedding shower? Where are you from?We learn so much from other customs. Here in the USA, we invite family and friends,usually just women, to a party where refreshments are served and gifts are opened by the Bride-to-be.The groom usually shows up,but may not,at the end to load all the gifts.I good time is had by all,and both sides get to meet each others future relatives, if they haven't met all by now.The bride can register at places/stores where if she likes something in peticular. She can list it on a register in their name.As the item is purchased,the store marks it off her register,so no one else buys the same gift.It is not neccessary to do this but it is helpful,if you are unsure what to give and they want a certain item or set.If some don't give or come to the shower,they give at the wedding. What do they do where you are from? Do they not 'shower the couple' with gifts ?

Thanks,Shirley,we did have a wonderful time.I love my jacket too,and no one was the wiser-lol

I am so happy you came!!!-lol-Toogie

Nevermind. Lol!

Thanks for the compliments.They are a cute couple,both very handsome,if I may say so too...As for as the jacket,it did fit to a tee,so to speak,and was a lucky find.I think the dishes were from Bed,Bath and Beyond (do you have one of these near you?),and she got a $50.gift certificate for there,so she can add to her set.They also got money and more gift certificates,but I don't know exactly what.Thanks for the blessings!-Toogie

Thank you for your comments.I really liked the cake topper and the cake was so good.It had fresh stawberries in the filling and there are blue roses all over.I don't know if you can see them well in the photo.

Thank you for all your sweet comments,too, and a blessing.I had never seen this cake topper either,but I like it.

Thank you, they recieved many,lovely gifts.I haven't seen her wedding gown,but I know she will be beautiful.I guess we will all see in June,because you know I will have to show you-lol

Yes, it was a fun gathering.They are so happy and altho I know the 'new' will wear off,I do hope they stay happy like the saying goes,"they lived happily ever after." Caleb has been very responsible ever since a teen,he worked at a local place,paying his own truck insurance.Then when he graduated he went straight to work at a plant making enough,that he moved out,on his own.So he knows about paying bills,saving,bugeting,etc. Taylor isn't finished with her college yet but I know she will,she is very bright. They should make it,they have been going together for quiet a while and seem to know each other pretty well by now.

I did enjoy myself.I only had tears one time,when a gift was opened.It had a beautiful saying on it,but I can't tell you, word for word, what it said.I know it was a blessing verse and I got teary-eyed.In the same gift was a set of coasters,they looked ceramic,with their last name on it.The lady that gave these has a gift shop here and she makes things for her shop,too.She may have made these gifts, and they were nice.

Thanks..they got a lot of very nice things,but not 1 bath towel or facecloth !- You would think somebody would have emb them a set-lol

Same date!-The guest that were unable to attend,usually do bring gifts to the wedding.The weddings are such a busy time,I think that is why we have the showers,to get that part over and the couple can take it to the place they will live.Otherwise,they leave right after the wedding,for the honeymoon,and the parents would have to store it all.It just makes it a little easier,this way.Best wishes for your son and future DIL-Toogie

lol-well,it doesn't look like I got it free,does it?Thanks, the g-kids are sweet and thank you for commenting.

You say "or the guests brings them to the party". What party are you speaking of? Is it the wedding reception,after the wedding ceremony?...changing the subject for a minute.When I flew to Germany,40 plus years ago,we landed in Belgium.It sure was pretty,what I could see from the air.I remember a hillside,with rows planted.All the rows were so neatly planted and that image has always stuck in my mind.There was a doctor on board,that was kind to me,he lived there.

They did recieve quite a few gifts,all really nice.I 'll venture to say,that Caleb is happy now, they had this shower. He didn't really want one, because he's 'been making out' with enough. We told him no,let her pick out some things that she would like,after all it will soon be her home too.....Thanks about the jacket.I freeze most of the time winter or a/c so I almost,always need sleeves or a jacket.

Thank you very much,my wishes too.Thanks for looking.

Lol-thanks,we had a marvelous time!

Thanks,Linda,I do too.I have dinnerware/china that I never use

reloaded grill

I think so too Sarah,but of couse I should-lol They were blessed with nice gifts,friends,love and laughter!

they are a very sweet couple,too.......I'm not sure I can look 'great' anymore-lol-but thanks for saying it.It sure doesn't look 'free' does it?

Thanks Lidia,they are beautiful to me.-I couldn't contain myself,had to show photos,so be forewarned in June for wedding photos!-lol-Toogie

Thanks Katy,me too!
