Last night we held a "Wedding Extravaganza" in our basement. We invited some of our close friends to be the honored guests and requested everyone to bring their wedding albums and videos with them. (Thanks Mitch and Kris for the idea!)
The basement was decorated with white balloons and love songs were playing in the background to set the mood. We had a buffet of reception food including; meatballs, dollar sandwiches, eclairs, chocolate dipped strawberries, temple mints, slush, a cheese plate, fruit skewers and nut cups. We also had a wedding cake to complete the festivities.
The night was spent viewing photographs, watching VHS wedding videos and snacking at the buffet. It is amazing how far technology has come in the last 13 years. The special effects on all of our videos were priceless. My personal favorite was Stoney dancing on Jen's hand. Can I also say that our youth was evident a decade ago. This meaning, more hair for some, smaller clothes sizes, no gray hair, or where we even old enough to be married. The styles have also come along way; big bangs, puffy sleeves, shoulder pads, tux tails, denim shirts and sweater vests are definitely out.
What cute babies most of us were, some of us were sumo babies and others of us had to grow into our stomachs, cheeks and legs. All us of had a great adolescent period (its a good thing we met our spouses after this time in our lives).
The highlight of the evening had to be when Rusty and Stoney cut the cake! Several of us joined in the fun after. The cake was pretty tasty!
We ended the evening with the Newlywed Game. This can sometimes complicate things in a marriage as hidden secrets come out, however I don't think anyone went home on a bad note, which was a good thing. Some of the guys have really learned what to say and what not to say when it comes to their wives. I guess being married for 8 or more years has been a good training session for most. My favorite line of the game was "Make More Budget," which I think all of us girls enjoyed.
We had a great time with tons of laughter, thank to the honored guests who attended...
