The official wedding shower report
This past Saturday HubbyCo had the pleasure of attending the first official celebration in the train of celebrations leading up to the blow-out celebration at the end of September. Bec and Ruben’s close friends Morgan, Caitlin, and Annette organized the shower that took place in the backyard (which felt like a private park) of Annette and her husband Skip (who provided homemade beer for the occasion). Not a detail was left unconsidered. From the R&B wine labels to a personalized play list of songs, everything was chosen according to Bec and Ruben’s taste and the whole evening was a reflection of the warmth and joy that they radiate as a couple.
HubbyCo’s own, Tif Sigfrids, was in charge of entertainment for the evening that began with an abbreviated six question live version of the Newlywed Game, which was entertaining indeed. A highlight was Bec’s response “Sigur Ros” to the question of which movie star Ruben would choose to be married to. The audience was stunned by the suspicion that Ruben would want to wed an entire band of Icelandic musicians, but we’re pretty sure that lines just got crossed somewhere.
Artist George Porcari who was in attendance filming the event, commented later that it was the best wedding shower he had ever been too, “Like the last scene in Minnie and Moscowitz.” This said in reference to the barefoot dancing in the lawn during a set of music performed by Tif and Oakland based musician, Chris Stroffolino.
We can’t tell you how much we’re looking forward to the dancing and continuation of this celebration that will commence on September 25 and we’d also like to mention that Ruben can’t wait to be married to Bec. Sigur Ros will not be in attendance for the grand occasion of Get Hubbied.
