I am creating a new social custom

Reverse wedding showers, for people who marry (or remarry) in their 40s or later.

One of my co-workers is trying to figure out what she and her fiance are going to do with two complete homes. They are not the only ones.

When my mother remarried I scored a microwave and a wok. I know Roberta got cool stuff as well.

So here’s how it works: You throw the shower, take your duplicates and tie ribbons around them, get everyone drunk, and no one leaves without taking something.

It’s a winner!
