We have been so super lucky to have not one shower but 2! Our friends and family are truly the best. I don't know what we would do without their love.
In September my AWESOME Aunt Lindsay (BTDubs...it is sooo weird to call her my aunt, all of my friends are around her age in their early thirties) threw me a beautiful traditional bridal shower while I was visiting family in Michigan. She had Italian food catered (my fave food is pasta besides tacos...alas tacos don't say "I'm a bride" quite as well as fancy Italian), homemade cupcakes decorated like dahlias, and even let me wear her GORGEOUS veil.

She was a wonderful shower hostess. I am still impressed and will be forever grateful. Now...some
shower porn...hehehe I secretly hope some perverts land on this blog with that post only to be thoroughly disappointed. I'm evil. I know.

With one killer shower behind me, I felt so blessed when FMIL's friends offered us a couple's shower in early February. We had an amazing time and made out like bandits! FMIL and FFIL's home is packed full of gifts...until we can get a home purchased and bring all those goodies home!
Our couple's shower was held at Guest Ranch in Strawn, owned by FMIL's good friends. Their home is incredible! From the kitchen to the pool to the formal dining room, I could not stop drooling. The wine probably didn't help with my drooling problem. Eh, what can ya do? Drink more wine I say! And now, some more pr0n.
