I feel obligated to explain my prolonged absence, lest you fear I’ve abandoned my regular recaps. Without going into too much detail, 2011 has not been off to a great start for the Ginger-Nerds. We have endured family, financial and career hardships that I never would have expected to be compounded into just two short months. Mr. E has been everything to me and for me since the year began, and I am so very fortunate to have unending love and support from him. Thank you for being patient as I come back around to blogging.
My oh my, where did we leave off? Oh yes, the dancing! The band prepared for their next set break, and I prepared to toss my bouquet. All the ladies, regardless of marital or relationship status, were invited up to the dance floor.
Meanwhile, I evaluated the height of the ceiling beams and prepared my bouquet by pulling apart the stems for the breakaway. MIL Enginerd and my wonderful Aunt M came up with the idea to have mini-bouquets, instead of single stems.
Up in the air they went:
The ladies leapt for the mini-bouquets – check out the height BM-K is getting!
Obviously it worked out for her…one for each hand!
I think they all enjoyed themselves….
Some even more than others:
With the bouquet toss out of the way, it was almost time for the nightcap.
