One priceless party

Emmie Howard and her husband Tommy threw the neatest party on Sept. 28 to honor their friends Joni Harrison and Chip Lay, who are getting married next month.

On Joni and Chip’s first date, they went to see “Walk the Line,” so Emmie got the idea to host a “Johnny and June” shower. How cute is that?

The invitations looked like vintage country music concert posters, and attire for the Sept. 28 event was black duds and cowboy boots.

Guests dined on fried chicken and biscuits, knocked back Folsom Prison punch and enjoyed a performance by Francisco Vidal. And, seeing how this is a young couple just starting out, their friends passed the (cowboy) hat to raise a few bucks for the honeymoon.

Co-hosting were Reagan Hardy and Christin Hartsfield. Guests included Ashley Anne Harrison, Mary and Michael Keller, Jamie and Ric Kern, Rusty Lay and Stephanie Naglich.

S.B. goes to all sorts of fab black-tie bashes, but this sweet gathering of friends has to be one of my favorite events I’ve hit so far. Tell me: what’s the most “priceless” bash you’ve ever thrown or attended? Extra points for creativity!
