BRIDE SHOWER

This article is not for guys really:

first time I got opportunity to took part at a christian BRIDE SHOWER ( not mine YET).....

hmm, at the end I was quite impressed (positively) by it`s content!!!

Grossy, smutty, ambivalent etc- that`s the things what I could relate talking about bride showers ...so didn`t expect anything special this time either. Didn`t see any real purpose for these things as I am christian and have other standarts and values!!! I am definately not up to flirt with a local guy in order to get some money (for wedding: as it`s stated in BRIDE SHOWER rules) or ask for a signature on my left shoulder ( or any other place on my body)....

For those who don`t have any idea about BRIDE SHOWER`s in LATVIA, here it is:

• the title of BRIDE SHOWER is literally translated as "Vecmeitu ballite" (SPINSTER PARTY)...Spinster is a woman who has never been married, though it is usually applied only to women who are regarded as beyond the normal age for marriage. ThE NORMAL age in Latvia is 25!!!
• Diverting features mostly contains flirting, scampish jokes etc...don`t wanna go on as the list is quite long.
• Marriage is called as SLAVERY instead of something FUN and ENJOYABLE... [what a RUBBISH] Girl should talk about her previous boyfriends [ discussing how good or bad they were in various spheres], do obscene stuff with someone...

that all is so TRIVIAL...

So considering all + and - about BRIDE SHOWERS.... I VOTE FOR BRIDE SHOWERS!!! (but the content of it is so much more important).. one more good thing- You get gifts :) [but that is not as significant as being with close friends, and to be encouraged to take this GREAT STEP]!
