Bridal Shower

So as I was getting ready to blog about some of the latest in "wedding land," I realized I never blogged about my bridal shower.  So here it goes...My bridal shower was a little over a month ago and it was fabulous.  Actually, I should rephrase that, my showerS were a little over a month ago and THEY were fabulous.  My co-workers threw me a shower too.  I got some nice gifts, delicious cake, and several people wore purple since that is my wedding color.  One of the organizers even wore purple gloves to cut the cake!  Who knew! 

 

My non-work shower was also wonderful and a little overwhelming.  I knew the date (my schedule is a little crazy so I had to know when it was), but not all the details.  My fiancé drove me over and we walked in and all of a sudden people realized we were there and started clapping.  It was funny because I could hear some of their voices as I was walking up the stairs, but they didn't see me right away.  I didn't really know what to do so I started to walk around to all the tables and say hi to everyone and thank them for coming.  Goodness knows I've helped throw many showers, but it was strange to be on the other side.  I had so much fun though.  I normally don't like being in the center of attention, but I embraced it and enjoyed myself.  After some mingling, a funny trivia game with questions about my fiancé and me that people had to answer, and some delicious food, it was time to open presents.  OMG, I cannot believe how generous people are.  It took me days to find spots for everything (that's a whole other blog in itself).  I could not believe how much stuff I got.  We had quite a few things on our registries and well, let's just say we received most of them (and then some).  Oh, and did I mention that when they cut into the cake, it was purple inside?  :)
