"I don't know if she's ever seen so many relatives together in one place at one time before," said Rebekah's mother at the wedding shower we held for Rebekah on August 10, 2016. Rebekah comes from a family of two children. Her parents have few brothers and sisters, and Rebekah's family lives well-insulated, in Georgia, from the relatives they do have, far across the country in California and Arizona. Rebekah's mother didn't have a wedding shower when she got married, and we all agreed that Rebekah should have one.
The guests included Jenny and Heidi, Camille and Lisa with their daughters, JoDee Flindt with her two sisters, Rebekah's best friend Victoria, and Rebekah's mom and me.
Lisa and Rebekah's mom have become good friends, as they have planned the wedding, wedding dinner, and two receptions, in Seattle and Georgia.
JoDee's sisters made a special trip from Huntsville to attend the shower.
There were lots of good gifts, from crock pots to cookie sheets, but the most distinctive one was JoDee's laundry basket of the real essentials for keeping house, such as Ziploc bags. Rebekah's good friend, Victoria, wrote down all the gifts.
Heidi and Jenny have had time to talk, during Jenny's month-long visit to SLC, about the similarities between their husbands, born just 17 months apart. "Really? He does that, too?" they exclaimed.
