There had been almost six months of planning, countless Facebook messages amongst the bridal party, the Moms and Chris. Finally, Jane and Ted set off for Pickering Ont for The Port, a restaurant on the lake.
Jane had requested that all of them send a hand written note about Tonya to her and she then organized them all into a scrapbook to be presented to Tonya at the luncheon.
Jane was a little intimidated by this endeavour, having never done anything related to scrap booking before. She knew, though, that Tonya was into it big time and thought it would be a nice keepsake for her. The result was beyond expectations. The submissions from the bridal party as well as the Moms, were wonderful! There was even a note about Chris written in Tonya’s own hand when she was in High school. Her friend, Sara, had kept it all these years and included it in her piece.
Everything went off without a hitch and unfolded just as Jane envisioned it would. Tonya had no clue about the luncheon….she thought she and Chris were going there to take Ted to lunch. That was the pretext. When she walked into the restaurant and saw all of her bridesmaids there, at first she thought it was a coincidence. But very quickly, she realized it was all for her!

Tonya was overcome with emotion when she began looking at the completed scrapbook and decided to read everything later.
Well done Jane! Well done ladies! Well deserved, Tonya!

And well written Gary. Thank you!
