Shower of Love


Our shower was terrific. It was our first group event that celebrated our plans to wed, so it was a big deal. We both had butterflies in our stomaches as we drove across the Brooklyn Bridge to the restaurant. But those butterflies quickly flew out the window as we entered a room filled with so many people we loved--and with vows they'd written for us! One of the vows that pleased Jonathan was that Amanda would promise never to force him to eat his vegetables. There were vows that gave Amanda a laugh: Jonathan promised to obey Amanda (interesting word to use and hey, if someone's got to do it). The above picture is of Amanda keeping her promise to Jonathan to NEVER STOP DANCING!

BIG THANKS to the Ladies of Sanity and Laughter for creating such a loving event for us.

Thank you too, to all our shower guests for helping us create a fabulous beginning to our new lives together. Whether you were there for ten minutes or you were there for all four hours, your presence, your loving words, the pictures you shared and for many of you the gift of wine--a symbol (and yes drinkable) of joy and to live life to the fullest, were and are so appreciated. We love you all dearly.
