So, Becky is getting married.
Who is Becky, you ask? If you don't already know her, you should. She's a bloggy friend of mine, and she is funny and smart and pretty and talented and ... well, you get the idea. Becky is a bright light -- when I need a lift I go to her blog, or read her tweets, and she is always good for a laugh and a smile.
Ann, of Ann's Rants, got the idea to throw Becky a surprise Bloggy Bridesmaids' shower. It wasn't a hard sell; this is not a group of introverts. We jumped at the chance to do a post in honor of her upcoming nuptials.
I don't know what my fellow bridesmaids are going to do, but I couldn't resist the urge to live out a fantasy of mine: spend the day with Becky. Wearing sequins.
C'mon, you can't tell me you don't have a fantasy involving sequins... I know you do.
And so, I bring you this:
** Special thanks to my daughter Greta and her friend Caroline, the best 8 year old videographers money can buy. Also to Tamara and Steve; you find out who your friends are when you ask them to film you in sequins on a treadmill. In public.
Congratulations, Becky. I'm so grateful to call you a friend.
And please be sure to check out her other Bloggy Bridesmaids' posts, listed below. These are some of the funniest women on the internet ... so if you're not reading these blogs, you're not laughing enough. Trust me:
