scattergories

My wedding showers (we split it into two because my extended family is so big) were this weekend and my sisters outdid themselves with their awesomeness.

For me one of the highlights was when we were playing Scattergories on Saturday night. For those of you who have never played I will quickly explain... you are given a list of categories and a letter (chosen at random) and you have to come up with a word to go in each category.

My sister made the categories be bridal themed so we had such things as:

Something old
Something new
Place to get engaged
Alternative to champaign to toast with
etc.

So you are given the list, then you are given the letter that your answer must start with and then you are given three minutes to come up with your answers. But you want your answers to be unique because if anyone puts the same thing as you, you both have to cross it off and don't get a point for it.

My sister Chestra's husband, Brian, walked in to the room in the middle of the round while we were all silent and had our heads bent over our papers and goes, "So this is what you guys do at these things!" because it looked like we were all seriously taking a test!

My favorite category/answer was "Alternative to a bouquet that the bride can walk down the aisle carrying" and our letter was L.

What would you put?

I put lemons. Other people put licorice, lingerie, lollypops and lightbulbs. We all decided that a glowing bouquet of lightbulbs would be pretty cool.

But my favorite answer was my Aunt Linda who put down "little puppy."

Oh my god! I now want to walk down the aisle carrying an adorable little puppy dog! How cute would that be?!?!
