Barbara, my Dad's fiance', works with the Young Women of our Ward and they decided to have a bridal shower for her for their activity this week! They invited Aileen and I to come too so we were happy to come and participate! They played a "how well do you know Sis. Eldridge" game with lots of questions on how she and Bro. Clay met and started dating, which of course led to cute stories of their dating. But also led to a very tender moment of Sis. Eldridge telling the girls how she had decided all these spiritual things that any man would have to have before she would consider marrying them and then prayed to Heavenly Father to send her such a man. So when they started dating, and Bro. Clay asked if they could pray together, go to the temple together, read scriptures together etc...... she knew that Heavenly Father was trying to tell her something. She told the girls to decide what it was they wanted in a spouse to have a Celestial Marriage and then be willing to wait for it because it can happen! Very cool moment. And kind of special to be his daughter and hear this story as well.
Then they divided up in teams and with toilet paper designed 2 different "Modest" wedding dresses. Barbara's nieces and now my cousins, were at the party as well, so they were the models! The YW came up with some really awesome dresses, bouquets, and veils!
Then Aileen's favorite part, the refreshments, were yummy! Chocolate cake, fruit plates, petit fours, cookies, mints and Lemonade! It was a fun night! And perfect for someone that has insisted over and over again......I don't need a bridal shower.........we have everything we need!
