Our International Shower!

Just a few pictures of the Donald family shower! Thanks to Mom and Uncle Paul for putting it all together and making it such a memorable day! A big thanks to everyone who came and contributed all that delicious food from around the globe! What a fantastic idea!

Parties, parties, parties!!

Well, Mike and I have officially finished our jobs and are now in full Wedding/Trip Planning mode. Every weekend from here until the big day is booked with parties, parties and more parties. (Not the worst existence in the world, I know.) Two parties have already taken place, and I've included a little slideshow of some shots my sister Jen took.
The first party was on January 27th and was given by Brenda Hodgson, one of my mom's fabulous friends! She had it at her beautiful lakefront home in Ajax. We had a really great time there and were so overwhelmed with how much love and support we felt from everyone there. The highlight for me would have to be the speech my dad gave and the songs he and my sister sang for us! Thank you Dad and Jenn for doing so much work! It means the world!
The second party was on February 2nd and it was the joint Jack and Jill we had with our friends Rachel and Dylan! We held it at The Rhino on Queen West in Toronto. This was a great night with games, raffles and....well, frankly, really cheap drinks! So many people helped out with this party but I'll have to thank Laura and Matt for coming up with some awesome Nearly-Wed games and questions! I still can't believe that Rachel and Dylan beat us but I'm convinced that it's because Mike and I know each other TOO well. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
