Last weekend my mother, bridesmaids, and some close friends threw me a bridal shower to help me prepare for married life. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect since I had only been to one shower before, but I knew that it would be amazing nonetheless. I helped out with a few of the food plans and the invitations (they were all hand-made), and when the day finally came it was all so wonderful. It was such a blessing to have all the women I love under one roof! And to have them help me celebrate with good food and conversation.
Like any celebratory event, the shower flew by. I received awesome gifts – some very practical, like a food processor and a shower curtain. Some very playful…not going to mention those here. And some very unique, like a family heirloom and a hand-made collage. As much fun as it was to get to open so many gifts (it’s way better than Christmas!), the real reason I loved the shower was because of the people who were there and the reason we were celebrating. Each woman who was at the shower holds a special place in my heart, and I couldn’t have asked for a better bunch of ladies to help me celebrate such a monumental event of my life! Thanks ladies! I love you all!
