​EMILY AND TOMMY'S PRE-WEDDING PARTY

      On Friday, May 13, Tom and I drove from Columbus, Ohio, to suburban Detroit for a pre-wedding celebration in honor of our son Tommy and his fianceé Emily.
Picture
      The party was hosted by Emily's Mom, Lisa,
Picture
...who graciously welcomed us to her home, 
Picture
...where we spent the night, as did Emily and Tommy, too.    
   The party was the following day, Saturday, May 14, and so we were up early,
Picture
...and after breakfast Tommy, Emily and I got to work icing the mini-cupcakes I'd made and brought along.
Picture
Picture
Picture
      Vanilla rosettes,
Picture
...and chocolate cream-filled.
Picture
     Taste-testers
Picture
      Lisa, meanwhile, among other things, put together flower arrangements,
Picture
...and supervised the setting up and decorating of the house inside,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and outside.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
     The day before Lisa had set up a welcome easel at the front door. 
Picture
Picture
     After the cupcakes were iced Emily took us on an outing to the next town over, a pretty place called Birmingham,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...where we went for a walk in the city park,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...then we went for lunch at an Irish restaurant called The Dow that had  a cute, rustic interior,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and terrific food. Tom had the Shepherd's Pie,
Picture
...Tommy had the Impossible Burger with sweet potato fries,
Picture
...Emily had grilled cheese,
Picture
...and I had an Avocado Burger but requested that they leave out the burger and double up on the avocado, which request our wait staffer was happy to oblige. I also had some hot, homemade kettle chips that were out of this world.
Picture
       By the time we returned home after lunch Emily's sister Megan had arrived to help,
Picture
...along with a cadre of relatives and friends and soon the party preparations were in full-tilt boogie.
Picture
Picture

Picture
      I set up the plates of cookies that I had made for the party and the cupcakes, along with some pizzelles sent over from a neighbor.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
     Mary set up a photo booth in the garage,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and she also made two beautiful gift baskets to raffle off.
Picture
Picture
      At five o'clock  the guests began arriving and soon after the party was in full swing.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
    The food was delicious,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and a happy time was had by all.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
     And after the evening was over and all the guests were gone we did what one always does after a successful party: sat around and basked in the post-party glow.
