What a blessed bride to be I am! My friends and family hosted a bridal shower for me. Two parties in my honor in two weeks. I'm loving this and am so very grateful!
The Shower was at The Morettas house. I have known them my entire life. My dad went to Junior High and High School with Pat, the officiant of our wedding! I'm excited for my future children (God willing) to meet the friends that I've had since childhood.
Amy made these yummy dipped pretzels and did the flower arrangements. So pretty. My bridesmaids and sister Janice helped out with yummy food and fun games.
And the presents. Oh em gee. So unexpected. Tim and I were not expecting gifts to this magnitude. We will put everything to good use and are excited to host our loved ones in our home.
Rachel, my maid of honor was the game planner. So much fun!!
Our youngest guest, my second cousin, sweet Amelia Jean.
Carly (who sometimes likes to be called Balto) my second cousin with her mom, Michele. Carly is going to be a greeter at The Wedding.
My "Hughie" girl cousins
It was awesome to have women who have loved and supported me through many different phases of life. My cousins and sister who have I have grown up with, friends from elementary school, Church, work and life. What an honor to know these souls!
The Blessed Beaming Bride to be
The guests drew me in my wedding gown on their heads.
Rachel got it on tape
I picked the winner. Janice, my sister, took the honor.
We played, How well do you know Timinda (with different questions from last week's game!) and I got a kick out of some of the answers. Rachel and Makailynn asked Timothy and I questions individually, so we didn't know each other's answers. I laughed at some of their guesses to the answers!
Amelia, Megan, Maureen and Me
I loved all of our gifts. We are all set now!
We were given several of our place setting to our china. We're excited to USE our China for more than just special occasions... because every day to is to be celebrated! Timothy and I picked out the pattern together. It's Kate Spade Library Lane Platinum. I think it will be timeless and look forward to decades from now when are home is full of Blalocks and Hughies and we can think back to this special time when we were given these place settings. I'm nostalgic and sappy... and grateful!
We were given THREE popcorn poppers. (And a snow cone maker too... wanna' have a carnival at our place?) I love how people know how much we love popcorn. It's a nightly ritual. Popcorn, Pajamas and a bit of TV. We'll put ONE of them to good use. The other two will be transformed into other kitchen gadgets. Timothy wants a cotton candy maker. Should be fun to find space in our 750 sq feet cottage!
The cake was amazing. Amy was disappointed in the artistic freedom that the Mexican Bakery used with the decorations. But I loved it!! It's fits our Spanish Mission Themed wedding, AND it tasted amazing. It was a Tres Leches cake. YUM!!!
Thank you to my girls for helping me celebrate my upcoming wedding. My cup runeth over!!!
