I remember this being the big event of the year as the shower was held in Aunt Louise’s basement (it was very popular for parties since it had a bar in the basement). It was a big event because Patty Lou is about the friendliest person you will ever meet and everyone wanted the best for her on her big day.
The wedding occurred about a month or so later and was a great time. Patty Lou and Doug bought a beautiful home in Woodhaven and it was literally brand new (they just built it). They added a huge swimming pool to the back yard and it was such a blast to go over there and go swimming whenever they had parties.
Woodhaven is just down the road from Trenton along West Road.
