A Wedding Story

Description: Inspired by the 2000 premiere FRIENDS episode, where Monica and Chandler are engaged and Monica has this HUGE Wedding Mega Book that she has collected information in for years. 

We got together and made Wedding Books.  We took normal 3 ring binders and covered them with stuffing batting to make them plush and then covered them again with pretty fabric materials, lace and ribbons.  Then we put pages in the binders of Wedding gowns that we liked ideas for themes and our colors and EVERYTHING that we could possibly need should we ever need to get married.  We utilized our Campus Counseling Personnel and had  our favorite counselor hang out with us to answer any kind of relationship/sex/ type questions the girl had.  We also had a para-professional Wedding Consultant come to talk about themes, colors, appropriate seasons with styles etc.  We had munchies and all the supplies
were paid for by our Residence Hall Association.  We began at 7:00 pm and went until the girls needed to go.  Over all the program lasted 2 and 1/2 hours.

3 ring binders
Batting (plush stuffing)
Different types of fabrics:
Satin, chiffon, tulle, lace, ribbon
(A couple yards of each in a variety
of neutral colors)
