Colleen Coble writes romantic suspense with a strong atmospheric element. A lovable animal of some kind--usually a dog--always populates her novels. She can be bribed with DeBrand mocha truffles.
Denise Hunter writes women's fiction and love stories with a strong emotional element. Her husband says he provides her with all her romantic material, but Denise insists a good imagination helps too.
Diann Hunt writes romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction. She has been happily married forever, loves her family, chocolate, her friends, chocolate, her dog, and well, chocolate.
Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads. Out of guilt, she rescues discarded cats. She and Mel are presently taking orders from four pampered strays.

Great post! Very true. Unlike Denise, I could do without the games, but I do love opening gifts.
I haven't bought towel or dish towels in fourteen years. Well, maybe one or two, but the ones I got at my shower are the ones I use after the shower. hahahaha.
There still are a lot of new brides, those who lived at home or just graduated college, who need household items like spatulas. (But not five of them.)
Mostly, I think they need good sound marriage advise.
Someone should start that as part of the bridal shower tradition. Notes of advice from married women. :)
Good one, Colleen. I hope we never get so jaded in this world that we opt not to celebrate one of God's most awesome blessings.
Even if he does pass "a little" gas now and then :-)
Ha! Very fun, Colleen. Loved the "We need to get together like this as women to reconnect and see who has gained the most weight since we saw them last." LOL.
I, like Denise, love the games. Bring on the word scrambles!
Bridal Showers - I am only 22 and I've been to far too many already, with mine not yet on the horizon!!!
But I can appreciate the pleasure on my friend's faces as they realize the host of people waiting to support them.
Also wanted to note that I received Kristen's handbag today, and enjoyed both the excerpt from the upcoming book (I preordered it from CBD back in Feb., so I can't wait to receive it) - "I’m not asking to feed the 5,000, I just want one good fish!" love the line! and the diddy on Ashley -thank you!
AND...just read "Finding Faith" yesterday, thanks Denise for a great ending to the triology. Seeing the link between Linn and Paula, and the interaction of two women with varying messages of wisdom was a great read.
My most horrible bridal shower experience was my lingerie shower -- opening tiny silky things in front of my MIL about caused me to hyperventilate. (She didn't think about me actually wearing them, did she?)
I think baby showers are much more fun than bridal. I like oohing and aahing over those tiny little outfits and booties. (Plus bridal showers make me insanely jealous! Why in the world did I think hunter green was the world's greatest color for my home? I still haven't recovered from the early 90s jewel tones.)
I love the observations about "female rituals"! :) A couple of years ago I gave a bridal shower for my best friend and gave her a list of things to say after opening each gift! After all, one must look like one likes each and every gift, right?
I love everything about weddings...well, uh, except bridesmaids dresses. UGH
