Showers of blessings for the bride and groom!

We had Amber's first bridal shower for her on June 13th! What a fun afternoon! Because we do not have any Aunt's, my mom, a good family friend, and myself put on her shower. We had it at Prairie View Golf Links...which is a wonderful place to have a shower. We opted for an early afternoon shower with a meat and cheese tray, crackers, 4 kinds of bars, and punch!

She had over 30 people come to share in the fun with her! We started by having lunch. Then, we went around the room and everyone told who they are, how they know Amber and a story/memory about her. Lots of smiles, laughts, and some tears came out of that! Then, we played a fun game where we saw how well Amber knows Kevin. Apparently he does not care for Wendy's as much as she thought he does! Next we played the word game where you fill in the blanks - example wedding ______. You had to see how many you got right with Amber. That was also fun. Lastly was a fun candle poem about marriage. A good friend of mine had shared it with me. I made it to the end...and then broke down! Not too bad. Presley helped!

Then it was time for gifts! She got so many nice things!



It wouldn't be right if we didn't take a group picture! These were most of the guests (we had a few sneak out a little early that didn't get in the picture.)
This is 3 of the 4 bridesmaids...and the little girls!
The girls were so fascinated with Auntie's shoes...so we caught them trying them on!
What a great day! Thanks to everyone who came! And to my mom and Alice for doing this with me! In just 2 months they will be Mr. and Mrs. Bergeson!
