My sweet bridesmaids came to celebrate the day! Aren't they a beautiful group?! Unfortunately two were missing, my sister Kayle, and my friend Niomi.
Since the shower was planned for the afternoon, we got to feast on the really good desserts. Thank goodness there is no calorie-counting at bridal showers!
I received SO MANY wonderful, beautiful gifts. This table filled my car and took me two days to put away when I got home.
Random photo, because I should probably have a least one in this post...
Our mom's must have been having a serious conversation. Can you guess who I belong to?
My maid of honor, Katie, and I must have been having a serious conversation too. Must not have been that serious though, I don't recall what were talking about here. :)
I even got to give a little "thank you for coming" speech. It wouldn't be like me to not talk.
This is the wonderful group of ladies that helped organize the whole shower. They are all good friends of my mom and ladies that were with me as I grew up!
In case you didn't guess it correctly - this is my mom!
My grandma was able to make it too - thank goodness! I wish I had a picture with my other grandma but I missed her before she left.
And finally, meet my God Daughter. There is never a time I see this fun girl and we don't get a picture. Plus she was a huge help opening gifts!
Besides the fact that it is a little strange to have people watching you open gifts, it was a pretty awesome day. I left feeling both extremely blessed and overwhelmed by the generosity of others. Thank you to everyone who made this day special!
