Amy's Bridal Shower (5/19/07)

May 19th, 2007..... Bridal Shower for Amy G. .... Jay's lovely "Bride To Be".... Shower thrown by Jay's Mom, Cindy.... The start of many more wonderful events to follow.... All leading up to their wedding day..... September 8th, 2007.....

Amy G..... THE BRIDE TO BE..... Awaiting the start of her shower....

And the winner is..... This striking gift came from Cindy.... Doesn't Amy look like the beautiful starlit receiving her "AWARD"...... This one should have been put in with the "Glam Photos" following later....

Starting things out on a blushing note for Amy.... (from me) Thought this color would be perfect on her....

Matching cups for the "married couple to be" One cup says, "I Do" and the other "Me Too" (Another part of my gift package)....

And for those romantic evnings, a little candle light.... (from my gift package)

Another blushing moment for the "Bride To Be"...... As you can see, I wasn't the only one thinking this is a good color for our young "Bride To Be".....

Hmmmmm?? Wonder what this might be???.....

Well... let's open it and see....

A Kitchen Aide ..... What every new wife should have.....

And many, many more gifts to follow....

Uh oh... Another blushing moment coming up...

And...moving on....

Cindy working on the Bride's special Bridal hat....

MONEY!!!! Oh yeah.... always a special place for that in any home....

And more MONEY!!! Keep it coming!!...

What's this?? More MONEY!!!.... (Just remember, Jay... this is a "BRIDAL SHOWER"... All gifts for the "BRIDE")... Now she may be willing to share, but that'll be up to you to figure out.... lol

Cindy's finished the "special" Bridal head piece.... Good job Cindy!!

Time to place it on Amy's waiting head.... (You couldn't wait for this moment... Right Amy??!)

Lovely.... just lovely!!....

This could make a lovely bridal headpiece, don't you think??....

Can't tell you how many times I picked this statue up and then put it back when I was shopping for her gifts.... Now I know why I didn't buy it.... Somebody else already had the same idea.... Just love this statue..... It says so much....

So there you go, Amy..... You're off to a good start.....

Amy's Guest....

As with all good showers.... food is an important part of the event.... Cindy did a wonderful job putting the shower together and there was lots of good food choices to chose from.... Starting with the wonderful tower of cupcakes, which one of her friends prepared for her....

I was introduced to so many new people, I'm afraid I've forgotten (unfortunately) who everyone was.... but as you can see.... all were having a grand time helping Amy celebrate being the "Bride to Be" and watching her open all her wonderful gifts....

Watching Amy open her gifts....

Bonnie won a prize.... not sure for what (I was too busy snapping pictures)... But it's a beautiful tea pot, isn't it!!.... We played one game where we all were given a colored clothes pin to wear... We were told we couldn't mention the name "Jay" or "Jason" or the word "wedding" in any of our conversations.... Didn't take long before I lost mine....

We also played another game where we had to guess the name of the TV show from the list of famous couple's names.... I didn't win that one either.... But I did guess a few of them, just not enough... I think the winner had guessed 13 out of the 18 couples we were given to work with... I guessed "8"....

What a great party!!! So glad I could be there!!! Thank you, Cindy, for including me and making me feel like part of the family.... I had a really wonderful time!! See you all again in September!!

The Glam Shots

Amy thought it would be a good idea, instead of just regular posing for pictures, we should do some "Glam" shots.... First one regular pose and a 2nd one posing with a little more flare.... So here are a few of us daring to give it a try.....


Regular Pose: Three pretty ladies....





Glam Shot: Now three glamorous ladies....



Regular Shot: Amy & Cindy .....

Glam Shots: Cindy did such a good job glamming it up, I thought she deserved having more then one photo shown...

Just the right tilt to the head don't you agree...... You go girls!!

Regular Shot: Amy & Phyllis:

Glam Shot: Looking Good!!

And last (hopefully not least)... Amy & me: Our Regular Pose

And now the Glam Shot: Just couldn't get that back head "tilt" down as good as Cindy's.... Guess I'll have to work on it....

Of course, Amy, you looked perfect in everyone of the pictures.... Can't wait to see you as the "Bride" on your special day in September..... You're going to make one "BEAUTIFUL" bride!!! Lucky man, Jay!!!... Very lucky man!!! You definitely have a keeper here.... So glad to have you as part of our family, Amy.... Welcome aboard!!!
