Yay!

Thanks for the recommendation...I haven't had a good cab in awhile, but only because pinots have taken a hold of me...excited to try it!

Another great choice, which is probably really frugal in your neighbourhood is a Californian Brand called 'RED TRUCK' - they make a fantastic cab - here in Ontario it runs around the $20 mark, but since it would be local for you it is prob. a lot less.

UPDATE:

FYI - I was at my 2nd moms house last night and she wouldn't let me in the backyard.... SO EXCITING

 

I'll be hanging out all morning anxiously awaiting the 2;30 mark, so that I can go over!

[Christi]

Thanks...I'll definitely check it out...I love the name!

 

Have a blast at the party and take lots of pictures!

Ok, after reading this I think you and your moms are the cutest things ever!!!! I love your speeches - they are perfect!! The whole thing sounds like so much fun, I love it!

[Amarillis]

Well Ladies,

 

The weekend is over, and I thought I'd let you know how the day unfolded.

 

I arrived around 2:30 - as per Mom#2's request - only to find that my BM was there! I was so excited - she is a new mom (baby girl was born on July 2), so I really didn't expect her to travel in for the party.

 

bridesmaid, new baby, mom#2 is holding the baby

 

The next exciting component of the day was the professional pedicurist that my mom hired to provide services to the ladies. I was so surprised to see this. It was such a nice treat on a Saturday afternoon!

FMIL having her turn!

 

MY TURN!!!!!

 

Six ladies in attendance opted for the pedi, here we all are with a near empty glass of wine

 

Aside from the pedicures, we spent the afternoon swimming and hottubing!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the afternoon, a variety of hors d'oevures were served along with fresh mojitos, and my Mom#2's world famous margaritas.

 

The dinner for the the event was a tour of Italy, accompanied by many fine italian wines.

 

I was super surpised to be spoiled with a large selection of vintage wines, all of the wines were accompanied with instructions on when they were to be enjoyed. We received bottles that are slated for:

- our seventh anniversary,

- the birth of our first baby

- the day we dig the hole for our new home on the river

 

And, many many more... all with different reasons to open.

 

I was thrilled and so honoured, what a great event!

 

This is me, right after I finished muddling through my speeches/toasts!

[seaprincess]

I love the idea of giving vintage wines with a specific date for them to be enjoyed! I am so sentimental and this is something I would love to receive! Looks like everyone had fun!
