Sister Spring Roll hosted my bridal shower last Sunday. Yes, Super Bowl Sunday. Despite the fact that my shower was on the same day as the big game, a great group of guests came.

Guests included co-workers, friends, and Mr. Spring Roll’s family. Since most guests did not know one another, we all donned name tags to familiarize ourselves. Additionally, sister Spring Roll had us play a game that she called an “ice breaker”. Each guest came up with two truths and one lie about themselves, and the other guests had to guess which was the lie.

Take a guess at my lie: 1. My first job was McDonalds 2. I slept with a night-light until I was a teenager 3. I graduated college with a 3.8 GPA.

Guests thinking of their truths and lie

If you guessed number one, you were correct. My first job was actually at JCPenney, and boy did I hate it. Anyway, the game had all of us laughing and made for great atmosphere.

For the next game, sister Spring Roll split the guests into three groups of four, and gave each group three rolls of toilet paper, and five paper clips.

With only those materials and five minutes on the clock, each team had to choose a model and dress her in a wedding gown and head piece.

After the five minutes were up, the models showed off their gowns, and I chose the winning gown. (The gown to the left won, as it was the only one with a bottom attached).

The next game left all the guests laughing, and me with a mouth full of marshmallows. You see, prior to the shower, sister Spring Roll asked Mr. Spring Roll several questions about himself and our relationship. Not only did she ask questions, but she also videotaped his responses. At the shower, she asked me a question, I answered, and then she played his response. If I answered differently than response, I had to put a marshmallow in my mouth and say ‘honeymoon’. Totally not fair, considering Mr. Spring Roll answered a couple of questions wrong (like the date we met and the first movie we saw together).

(So embarrassing!)
