Beach themed Bridal Shower

Hey guys! This past weekend was my bridal shower … it was nothing huge but it still required a LOT of planning and preparation… from the food, to the games, to the table and chair rentals etc….It was an intimate affair at my godmothers house with some of my best friends and family… It was honestly everything I could imagine and more! There was a lot of food (appetizers, main course which included roasted pig, chicken, fish fillets, sushi etc… and coffee and dessert to finish) … wine that my lovely papa picked up for all the ladies (white, red and zinfandel)… the tables were beautifully decorated, games were fun … we played the apron game where you have to walk around and guests look at your apron .. but they don't know the rules yet… then they are quizzed to see how much they can remember and person with the most points wins a prize… we also had some throwaway games like “guess the seashells”, the “Price is Right”, create a dress game which was a team effort and Beach Bingo… I also got “grilled” with a set of questions that my maid of honour and fiancée came up with … to test my knowledge and see how well I know my husband-to-be… I was afraid but actually did very well :P…. overall, I think everyone had a great time and it was definitely a success… and there was not one person that could say they left hungry! My mother, aunts and maid of honour were just so amazing in helping to make sure everything ran smoothly …I am so blessed to have such wonderful and amazing women in my life… My little brother was also amazing at making sure I had photographs of the event… and being a runner/coat boy… I even got a cute little recipe book because each guest was asked to bring their favourite so that a book could be compiled for me – it was so sweet! J also made an appearance at the end and gave a lovely little speech that literally put me in tears and brought me a bouquet of roses <3

Next up is the wedding! I cant believe it is just over a couple of months away … I am a little nervous but I guess that's a good thing! I am so thrilled … and our home is almost ready … we are installing the kitchen, washroom and trim at this point…. then paint and we are pretty much set! I might show you guys some progress pictures of the home if you are interested

Hope you have all been doing well – thank you for sticking by me during this “crazy” time in my life
