Seven of my dear friends banded together to throw a beautiful shower for Mary Grace and Ryan. They all have talents in many areas and it certainly showed. Since the honeymoon will be in Italy and Greece, they decided to serve Italian fare. Pam's over a century old farmhouse was a beautiful backdrop. Here is the food table.
From antipasti, cheeses, marinated olives and veggies, cheese spread with pesto, gorgeous fruit, rosemary cashews to decadent desserts, it was wonderful.
Check out those little velvet pumpkins. I told Pam I wanted to take them home and sleep with them!
Here are the sweets.
See the little mice.
Candy was the bartender on the porch and found a short cut.
They had lemoncello and lemonade and a punch that is MG and Ryan's favorite. It is made with champagne and elderflower liqueur. Yummy.
It was lovely in Candy's mom's Croatian punch bowl.
Look at the surprise guest!
Sophie, Vick, MG and Cary on the porch.
Presents.
Mary Grace suggesting that Ryan stay in line or this skillet may come in handy.
They loved the shish kebab skewers I gave them. It was a bit humbling when I wanted to get them some just like I got from my sister Linda early in our marriage. They were listed as "vintage" on ebay. Ha ha.
Ivy hard at work on the bouquet made of ribbons and bows. Will be used by the proxy bride.
They were so happy !
So much fun to relive it. Your pictures were so good. It was one of the nicest shower parties I have ever been to. They do look happy. That is what counts. MOM
