Richard & Misty's family wedding shower

A couple of weeks ago, my Aunt Pat Olsen and her girls (Jill, Jennifer, Emily, Areli & Kelsi), put together a wonderful family wedding shower for Richard and Misty. They put in so much time and made it so nice. The tables looked like this:

A little bag of hershey kisses with wedding stickers on the bottom & a pencil in it that said "Richard & Misty -2010", a vase with little paper flowers in it that we could write advice on, a fun wedding quiz, a frame they painted with Richard & Misty's picture in it and a little bottle of
water that also had their picture on it.
We ate a yummy dinner of spaghetti, breads & salads, completed by a delicious selection of desserts. Richard's best friend is John Olsen and he was a great MC of the event. Richard and Misty opened their gifts and read each person's advice as that gift was opened.

At every opportunity possible, people would start chanting "kiss! kiss! kiss!" and Richard & Misty would do it.

My mom made them this beautiful fall quilt.

They got some wonderful gifts - I didn't get very good pictures, but some other homemade beautiful things and great gifts for their house. Thanks again to the Olsen families - we love you all so, so much!

Oh my gosh! That shower was AMAZING! Your family is so incredible. I feel super lucky to be marrying into such a thoughtful group. Thanks for taking these pictures. I don't think I took any. Only 2 more weeks...

That truly was a fun shower. Patsy was the imagineer behind it all and we were the grunt workers.
Rich and Misty are cute.
