The Importance of Bridal Showers
I am planning my only daughter’s bridal shower with my high school friend, who happens to be the mother of the groom. It’s a fantastic story. The last bridal shower I attended about 6 years ago, was for the daughter of another high school friend. The lot of us who had been friends for over thirty years all sat together at the shower. We laughed and caught up on stories about our kids and even grandkids for some. I was sitting next to my friend who is the mother of two boys. I was talking about my daughter and sharing how she was a single, powerhouse of a woman. My friend revealed that her son was also single. Hmmm…it got us to hatching a plan. I went home and talked to my girl about J and my friend went home and talked to her son about L. They were both casually interested after seeing pictures of one another on social media.
It is important to note that my friend lives in my hometown, as do my siblings and many of my high school friends. I live about an hour and twenty minutes away in the “big” city. So, J and L made plans to meet up in our area at a local apple orchard. It was fall and a perfect first date activity. Needless to say, they hit it off and really haven’t spent too much time apart since that day. Fast forward almost 6 years and here we are planning their wedding and firstly, the bridal shower. We feel so blessed to know that our girl is marrying…
