Showered With Love

I had my big Bridal Shower Saturday afternoon and it was a shower in more ways than one. Mainly because in the middle it started down pouring rain. Good thing the shower was inside 🙂 Michele and Ashley my matron and maid of honor hosted and it was amazing! Bonus Ashley came in town for the weekend to celebrate! I will not see her again for 54 days…MY WEDDING WEEKEND!

This girl…I can’t even

We were showered with love with so many gifts, wonderful people to spend the day with and amazing memories! We are so blessed by the generosity of my two best friends who put together an amazing shower with fun games, amazing food etc. We were given some of the most amazing gifts too! Plus Andrew’s mom and grandmother came in for the day from Houston just to be there.

I honestly feel so lucky for all the wonderful wedding events we have had so far. I can’t believe in a little over 7 weeks we will be getting married! Crazy!

I could go on and on about the people that were there and the wonderful gifts but I just want to say we have the most amazing friends and family and I am truly grateful for them all.

What did you do this weekend?

  2. GREAT POST!!!! And congrats on your beautiful shower. Isn’t is sad/fun/depressing to see kids you once nanny’d and now they’re all grown up?! Happens to me ALL. THE. TIME. The youngest of the babies I kept are freshman in high school this year, I feel so old!!!!!!!!!

    Looks like you had a lot of fun! It’s exciting getting to follow along on your wedding journey, it’s been so long since I got married and hopefully I won’t have to get married again so I have to live through other people.
