Bridal Shower Shenanigans

Way back in September of 2010, Yooney was a fabulous bridesmaid and took on the task of planning and hosting a bridal shower for me.  Lots of work and stress were involved, but she was awesome and pulled it off.  It was a great way to kick off all the events leading up to the wedding day.

After eating, more eating, and socializing, we started on some of the fun activities that Yooney had planned for the afternoon.  One of these activities was a trivia game where I had to guess the answers that Mike would give for questions about us.  She went as far as to video tape the interview with Mike, which made it even more fun.  Overall, I think I did rather well. 

After unwrapping some fantastic gifts, more eating, and more socializing, we moved on to the next task.  The other crazy game she had slotted for the party was a toilet paper wedding dress contest.  The guests broke into four different teams and had a certain amount of time to create a gown fit for getting hitched.

Team One was Breanna and Verna (and Zion) with Kim as the model.

Team Two was Jamie and Alyssa with Christy volunteering her physique.

Betsy, Sarah, and Dixie made up Team Three with Kate as the model bride.

My mother and aunts assembled as Team Four.  It was very interesting to see what four seamstresses would do with toilet paper.

Everyone did a great job in improvising and evolving their designs.

My Aunt Fong found herself a toilet paper wedding ring.

Kim needed an accessory on her head to complete the chic and modern design of her dress.

Team Two found some contraband tissue paper to veil Christy.

She does look darling, however, with her toilet paper bouquet.  The poofy shoulders is also impressive.

Kim's looking pretty fabulous.

And they're done!

And the four lovely brides all together.

Afterward, we had fun trying to get tape out of everything -- including hair.

We certainly created quite the mess.

Soon afterward, Mike made his cameo appearance.

More socializing and eating commenced.

It was a very fun and enjoyable day.
