Everyone at the first bridal shower this week certainly was happy and I knew it! That was the opening song to the party. Yes, the song is American, but I'm not sure that singing it at a bridal shower is... but isn't one of the goals of a bridal shower to make the bride and the guests happy? Can't argue with that- and singing Eternal Flame while holding hands and swaying back and forth will certainly put a genuine smile on any bride's face!
The decorations were awesome. The decoration group did a great job turning a classroom into a romantic atomosphere...with candles, flowers, and music. And the group that came to bake a cake this morning did an excellent job as well making it from scratch. Be thankful for your electric mixer; whipping egg whites into stiff peaks is tiring!
Besides singing and swaying, some of the fun games we played included saying "I love you" with emotion in different languages. I was quite impressed at how many languages my students knew! After that game everyone was divided up into 4 groups to create the most beautiful wedding dress out of toilet paper. Which dress do you think won the prize? Each bride was then paraded around the classroom while 
everyone hummed the wedding march song. Before I opened the gifts they brought, the last activity was to guess the Vietnamese singer by asking the party host 20 questions. My Tam was the answer (my first guess I might add...).
Before everyone collapsed from exhaustion laughing so hard, I opened about 17 gifts (2 students brought one wrapped present-- a magazine cut-out of something I can use for my new married life). My students made Jon and I rich with the new bedroom set, 2 new cars, 2 new motorbikes, and baby 
accessories like a stroller. I didn't know they had so much extra cash to spend! Or maybe Jon and I mean so much to them that they went all out to give us their best...
It was a wonderful party indeed... the laughter and love we shared together can't be beat. Thank you class K27A!
