It's all starting to dawn on me...
I had my wedding shower this weekend and since have been feeling weird. A good weird...but still weird. I think the shower started to really make the idea of being a bride sink in. Also the fact that the wedding is really starting to get close (Aug 15). I've been engaged for almost 1.5 years, going through all the motions, etc, but for the first time all the attention was truly on me. I don't know how to describe what I'm feeling or why I'm feeling it...but I knew if anyone would understand it people on here would :)
On to the bridal shower. It was at a local park outside, and absolutely beautiful weather thankgoodness. Now if only my wedding weather will be that great (everything's inside, but I want outside pictures). Everything went great, food was good, and I got to see family I haven't seen in a couple of years. The best suprise was that my mother is going to pay for my bridal bouquet! We're on a fairly tight budget, and that $150 is going to help with the hair and make-up stuff that I really want to do for my girls or possibly go towards real bouquets for them.
The evening was capped of by a visit to a local winery with a few of my closest friends. One of the guys who works there is also in the Geography Dept with me, and 2 others with us. When he found out it was a mini bachelorette party he gave everyone of us tastings and a glass on the house! We drank wine and played some mean games of Uno for the rest of the night.
