Engaged couple Jennifer Edge and Patrick Quillian are at the dinner and tabletop shower in their honor.
THE RAINS CAME…Engaged couple Jennifer Edge and Patrick Quillian were honorees at a tabletop shower and dinner given by Mary and Jim Richard. Leigh Ann and Paul Albers and Kay and John Bishop in the Richard home.
The party theme featured the rain forest in Costa Rica because Edge and Quillian will honeymoon there. The hosts built a tiki hut and had huge tiki statues and dining tables outside. Then it rained in Oklahoma City and the hosts moved the rain forest theme indoors. There were stuffed monkeys hanging everywhere and party foods included chicken wrapped in banana leaves…a la Costa Rica.
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES…Larry Lucas celebrated his 75th birthday with a party at The Coach House last Friday and then he and his wife, Jean Richardson Lucas, had a Mexican Fiesta in their home to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary.
At The Coach House party guests dressed in black or white. Red roses in individual vases decorated the tables. The honoree was given a unique board game based on his life.
The next day was the anniversary celebration. That afternoon the family members played softball, fished and went swimming at the Lucas home. They also played the “ FYI Larry Game”.
That night there was a Mexican Fiesta.
At the Lucas home, there was a collection of round tables with yellow tablecloths, red bandana napkins and lantern centerpieces and zinnias. The anniversary cake was shaped like a marzipan scrabble board. Guests gave speeches about the anniversary couple. A special fortune cookie was given to the guests as a thank you from Jean and Larry Lucas. The fortune: “Thanks for the Memories.”
PARTY TO REMEMBER…Suzanne and Bill Coburn celebrated his 90th birthday with a cookout in their home. Hosts were Stephanie and Peyton Langford, Clint Langford, Clare Langford and Mary Catherine Langford.
They fixed a rib roast and Caesar salad. There were two birthday cakes.
The honoree, (ret.) Capt. Coburn, was in the United States Army in World War II. He received the Purple Heart.
HOP ON OVER…. Members of Tri Delta Alumni gathered at the home of Claudia and Jim Robertson for an annual party. The party featured a limeade drink called the “Bullfrog.” Soft drinks and bottled water were shunned on this night.
Decorations featured frogs everywhere…on balloons, plastic figures, napkins and nametags. Guests sipped their drinks and nibbled on hors d’oeuvres. Lisa Synar fixed a multi-tiered fruit and vegetable tray.
Guests wandered through the Robertson’s recently remodeled backyard area and the bartenders Jim Williston, Jim Lowe, Ed Stringer, Stan Wilson, Jim Robertson and Bob Floyd wore the traditional Froggy aprons.
