Where: Jolley Reunion at Wallsburg, Utah (near Deer Creek Reservoir up Provo Canyon)
Who: The happy couples: Jared Davis & Shannon Hill; Andrew & Marianna Thiriot; Bart Burdette & Molia; and Paul & Nancy.
Why: A grocery shower has been held over the years for each newly married or soon-to-be married Jolley child or grandchild. I'm pretty sure it all began with my parents when they got married. This year, four Jolley cousins are getting married. We decided to hold the shower during the Jolley Family Reunion.
How does it work: The couples are contestants on the "Newlywed Game" with a bunch of get-to-know-you questions. Afterwards, when each couple opens their gifts, the ribbons and bows are tied in the girl's hair. For the groom to kiss out, of course! :)
It was a good reunion. Justin had a great time with Grandpa Davis' water-balloon launcher. Justin and Tyler had so much fun running around with their little cousins for three days and sleeping in a tent for one of the nights. He got to get up early one of the mornings and go fishing in a canoe with Grandpa Davis and Dad. He keeps asking us, "When will I be able to go 'fishing in the morning' again?"
