Taryn Makes Her Debut into Future Married Life

Hi all,

We’ve finally posted the pics of Taryn’s bridal shower that took place on 29 February.

The evening started out at our house.  Taryn was under the impression she was coming over for a braai (barbecue for the non South African’s), to welcome Pete home – it just so happened that he arrived home the same day, so the excuse for Taryn & Daryn coming round fitted in perfectly!

Well Taryn soon realised once they pulled into our driveway that she’d been duped.  She entered the lounge all flushed and shocked, but was ushered into the bedroom for her ‘transformation’, before she had time to even touch sides.

Dressed in a little nurse number, gawdie make-up, flashing "Bride to Be" sash and questionable accessories; she re-entered the lounge looking like a self propelled gratification dispenser in a nurses outfit.  After many giggles and photos the party started.  I decided on jelly shots for Taryn, as a penalty for every wrong guess as to whom her gifts were from.  By 10pm and after many jelly shots, the girls gathered their things and went to a quaint bar up the road from our house and joined Daryn, Pete and Daryn’s dad.

This is where all the fun and games really started.  We had dare cards which Taryn had to read out and then act on.   It was one episode of hysterical laughter after the next!  Even Daryn’s Gran had a wail of a time and had everyone reeling in shock at how she was partying it up with all of us!

The fantastic night eventually ended with us crawling into the house just before 3am.   Everyone had a great time, especially Taryn and of course Daryn – which is what counted most!

Take a look at the pics in the Weddings album under Taryn & Daryn in the Bridal Shower folder.
