I take up my pen....or keyboard.....to write you again, my friends, this time to recount the wonderful time had by all at our first wedding shower! On March 29, at Salem Baptist Church in McDonough, GA (my parents' church), the women of the Fowler and Norman families, plus lots of family friends, gathered for our first shower. Since it was not a couples' shower, David didn't get to attend, but he still gets to enjoy all the presents! The shower was hosted by Mrs. Cindi Goss, my mom's best friend and my second "mom," my Aunt Kathy, and Mrs. Dee Wise, Mrs. Debbie Noble, and Mrs. Laurie Brown, all also friends of my mom and the family. All three of my grandmas came, as well as my Aunt Robin and cousin Meredith. My great future mother-in-law, Mrs. Debra, and sister-in-law, Pamela, came all the way from Alabama! There were many other family friends as well, plus two of my four attendants: my maid of honor and sister, Bethany, and the lovely Laura Nix. Laura got all artistic and made my quite fetching "bow"quet for the rehearsal, seen above. She did a fabulous job!
We received so many amazing presents that it is impossible to list them all or do them justice, but I will say that we received so much that we had to go back to Target the Monday after the shower to add more things to the registry, just so people would have things to buy! We received a beautiful set of pots and pans from Grandma Fowler, a vacuum from the Gosses that we are using already, eight plates of our nice china from Mom and Dad, and some exquisite monogrammed napkins from Mrs. Susan Ford. These are merely a few of the amazing presents we got, and we were so overwhelmed!
We are really looking forward to our next wedding shower, which will be on April 12 in Birmingham, Alabama, with David's family and friends. He is especially excited about this one, because it's a couples' shower so he gets to be there. I've told him that he can open all of the presents, since I opened them all at the other party. Well, that's all for today's post: to any wedding guests who are reading this, we can't wait to see you at the wedding on May 17!

Got to say that David had the perfect first shower. Get all the gifts and not have to sit through the innate chit-chat and generic marriage advice. That's the way to do it.
