Jenny is being married and today at work we held a shower for her. She was so excited and pleased and we were excited and pleased for her too. We've held many showers at work both for brides and for expectant mothers so our systems are efficient and always the same. First we greet the bride on their arrival at one o'clock, then after cutting the cake, we quickly ask the honoree to open the gifts, while others hand out the cake, of course on paper plates. Two agents help to open the gifts while someone else keeps a list of the gifts. The guests stand around in the conference room and admire the gifts which are always lovely. Lastly, Jenny thanks everyone for coming and we tell her not to send us thank you notes, but she probably will. The whole thing lasts less than an hour. Everyone is pleased and gets back to work. It is a lovely festive though short shower.
Jenny is a wonderful woman, now in her mid forty's and she never ever thought she would be married. She is very cute and energetic and has often been a bridesmaid but now she will be a bride. We have held our breath many times when we met her boyfriends, hoping she would not marry them. But this man is a keeper. All through high school they were sweethearts but attended different colleges and drifted apart. After he divorced he called Jenny and on their first date, where they ate lunch, they discussed getting married. It is a wonderful love story. We certainly wish them both all the happiness in the world.
