I had a wonderful bridal shower thrown for me, hosted by my mom and my matron of honour, Jackie. It was so great to have family and close friends around, especially since I've hardly seen anyone in two years! The shower kicked off with people introducing themselves to each other. This was then followed by some fun bridal shower games with prizes for the winners!
Game #1: British Equivalents - Given a list of North American terms, could people think of what the eqivalent British term was? Winner: Wendy! See, it pays to watch Coronation Street!
Game #2: Purse Hunt - Mom shouted out various items. The first person to pull each item out of their purse earned various point values. Winner: Jan. She had everything but the kitchen sink in her purse!
Game #3: How well does Will know Bri? - Will was asked 22 questions about me before the shower. People had to guess how many they thought Will would get correct. The same 22 questions were then posed to me to see how well Will did. Will's score: 13/22...just barely a pass!

items they thought I would receive for shower gifts. As I unwrapped gifts, guests marked their bingo cards. The first person to get a straight line wins! Winner: Amy! I received many wonderful, thoughtful gifts that will come in very useful at our new apartment. After the gift opening, we then stuffed our faces with some awesome food and a beautiful cake made by Jackie. Thank you to everyone who attended and a special thank you to my mom and Jackie for organizing and hosting the party and my bridal party for pitching in to help!
Lots of love, Briana
