For the second weekend in a row, some of my nearest and dearest came together to celebrate Doug and I and our upcoming marriage. (HOLY 38 DAYS!!!) This time it was for my first bridal shower. A lot of Doug's friends also were around, but they all spent their day on the golf course and at the casino for his bachelor party.
Back to my shower though- it was amazzzing! Family, long time family friends, and my friends all gathered to enjoy fabulous food (my caterer aunt is the best), good company, my hilarious niece and cousins, and of course opening gifts! Due to the fact that I make the worst faces as soon as the photo snaps, there is very little photo evidence (at least that I'm willing to share) of my gift opening. But take my word for it that I now have enough baking items (cookie sheets, cupcake tins, cake pans, cooling racks, etc...) to feed an army.

| Amazzzing bridesmaids! sister-in-law, cousin/MOH, me and college roommate |
It really is hard to express just how much I appreciate those who helped with the shower, as well as those who showed up, and ALL the gifts we received. I love everyone that was in that room so much, and it was amazing to have people from all aspects of my life together.
