Brandy's Circus

Tuesday, June 20, 2006

















The morning after the Bachelorette Party, Belinda had planned a Bridal Luncheon for the Bride's Maids and other close family members, hosted by Allen's Aunt Julie. Of course, she told us later, had she known about the Bachelorette Party the night before, she wouldn't have made the Luncheon plans that day. But hindsight, they say, is 20/20. We girls were suffering, much to the amusement of the other Grown Ups. Here we were in a classy restaurant with a tempting brunch selection and we girls ordered cheeseburgers! I cheated and got the Eggs Benedict, which were nice and sinful enough to calm my queasy stomach! The server even surprised us with chocolate covered strawberries for desert. That's my kind of brunch! When we first got there, we Bride's Maids had a bag hanging on the back of our chairs with a gift inside. Belinda made a toast and then we were able to open our bags. To our delight, inside was a handcrafted quilt made with love by Belinda and Aunt Janice. Each one was different; each one was BEAUTIFUL! They also each had a personalized inscription from Belinda sewn in. Aunt Janice even surprised Belinda with her own that Aunt Janice had made for her. In addition to the quilt (besides the fact that Belinda also made the bags herself, sewing on the beads and hand-stamping the flip flops on) was a tealight holder with flip flops on it (the theme of Belinda and Allen's Beach Wedding) and a flip flop magnet that Julie had made with Belinda and Allen's names and the wedding date on them. The last little piece was a flip flop toe-ring that Belinda had given us to wear for the ceremony. It was a Beautiful Morning to top off a Wild and Crazy Night!
