Twenty-six women attended the bridal shower for June Moilliet held at the Vavenby Christian Church on Saturday, June 2.
April Wainwright, Moilliet’s niece and bridesmaid, organized it. The party was planned for outdoors but the weather did not comply. Everyone attending brought their own teacup and a finger food. The shower cake was made by sister Valerie Gerber and is Moilliet’s favorite - carrot cake with cream cheese icing.
While eating the women introduced themselves, told the history of their cups, and how they had met June. There were some very interesting historical stories told. There was also a game where one had to match the wedding custom to the correct country. It was not an easy game as most of these customs one had never heard about so guessing was required. The most correct answers were 10 out of 18 and winners were Vickie Cook and Hilda Reimer.
John Gerber showed up and he and his wife Valerie entertained us with the song We Got Married in a Fever. Then they decided the song didn’t apply to the newlyweds so they changed the words. It was very comical and had everyone laughing.
The party was a lot of fun and after eating all of the delicious food none of the women felt like having any supper.
