Liz's Wedding ShowerLiz's Wedding shower was held on a seasonble afternoon just after Thanksgiving, 1999. In attendance were a stunning assemblage of family friends (and even some men!).

|
Secret Scribe Beth records all of the comments Liz makes when she opens her presents, but why? Liz looks up and says "Are you taking NOTES?" Hmm... |
|
|
One final present, and one more giant ribbon to hurdle. (Someone told Liz that every ribbon broken opening a present meant a child later on! As a result, she was VERY VERY careful opening the presents, but this one had a heck of a ribbon on it!) |
|
With nerves of steel, (and the mission impossible theme song being hummed around her), Liz tackles The Big Ribbon. (Kevin looked a little peaked.) |
|
|
Liz breathes an audible sigh of relief when the last ribbon comes off un-broken! |
|
Kevin says "You have GOT to feel how soft these blankets are!" and passes them around. |
|
|
Liz looks as if she needs those pillows after all this present opening! |
|
Mrs. Guilbault and Barbel smile for the camera. |

Family and friends find out with a chuckle what our secret scribe has been writing down! |
|
Katherine and Beth read out the comments Liz made while opening gifts- but as if these were comments made, shall we say, during the Honeymoon? |
|
|
Liz is . . . a tad surprised to discover what she's going to say on her Honeymoon! ("There was some fear of leakage" and "I always need something like this to get me up in the morning.") |
