My Wedding Shower!


On Monday, I posted a little preview of my most amazing wedding shower weekend, and promised I'd do another post later this week with more photos and details.  Here it is!


Last weekend was truly one of the best I've had this year, full of good times with friends from all over the country, fun wine-fueled wedding planning sessions, several shopping excursions, mani/pedi outings, music, and of course, the shower itself.  Everyone was so generous and thoughtful, and we got some seriously incredible gifts for our kitchen and home.  My sister and mom, who hosted the shower, put so much time and love into every detail of the party.  From the cake that my sister designed and made from scratch, to sweet little candy bags with paw prints "courtesy of Leary" (aka Bubby, my sweet dog!), to the little scrapbooking area where guests could make greetings for Robbie and me, it was really perfect.  I left feeling so lucky and loved!  I think I may just have the best friends and family in the world, and I'm so excited to have them all together at our wedding. 

I hope you guys like the pictures!  There were so many of them, but I chose some of my favorites to share with you. 

Have a wonderful Thursday, and I'll see you tomorrow for Friday is For Favorites!
