On Saturday, June 8, 2013, Nancy Bennett drove me to the Generations Restaurant in Media, PA to the Bridal Shower for Amanda Hutterer, who will marry Geoff Bennett on September 1, 2013.

It was a surprise for Amanda, who was expecting a twenty-fourth birthday luncheon for Elly Bennett and friends.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Amanda’s mother, Cindy, is one of five sisters, so there were many aunts and cousins present.

 

Geoff’s family was also represented by sister-in-law Rachel Lassman and cousin Meghan Talarowski.

Amanda’s attendants will include Ashley Miller, cousin; Lindsey Hutterer, half sister; a three year old cousin, flower girl; Elly; and Jen, a friend, head bridesmaid.

After a delicious luncheon there were several shower games, and many great gifts.

I especially enjoyed being part of such a happy family occasion. Amanda is the perfect bride for Geoff, and apparently is equally loved by her family.

Nancy and I left for home about 2:30, pleased with how well the first blending of the two families progressed, and looking forward to the wedding weekend.
