6 times a bridesmaid...now i'm the bride!

It was time for another bridal shower! This time, here in Pasadena with the fabulous women of Fuller :) My small group picked this weekend to celebrate because Sophie was able to be in town, so the 8 of us went to a beautiful (and yummy!) formal tea on Saturday morning instead of holding our regular small group. The girls got all decked out, Tera even found this amazing hat to wear--and there was talk of white gloves although no one had any they could bring. Since I am not a traditional bachelorette-party kind of girl (no clubs, shots, random pranks, or sleazy bars were going to go over well with me!) they decided to do a classy tea party with...well...traditional bachelorette type gifts. Which means present opening pictures will not be posted for the world to see---only one person will be seeing them, and that's not for another 40 days...:)

I don't have most of the photos--they were on other's cameras, but here are the few I do have, and more will be posted as they are sent to me.
Tera and her amazing hat. We called her Sunbonnet Sue all morning :)Alethia and ChristinaThis is Becca. Becca despises the color pink. For some reason though, Becca owns one pink flowered dress. This was Sarah's party. Sarah LOVES the color pink. Becca loves Sarah enough to wear the pink dress just for her. Now that's a good friend!Sophie stole Tera's hat to pose with AlethiaWe each got our own tea pot with our flavor of teaSophie, Alethia, Christina, and JennWe had all pre-chosen our food, so they brought it out on these trays--half the tray was my food and half was Megan's who was sitting next to me. It was SO yummy! I had a cafe mocha scone and a cranberry/chicken/cream cheese sandwich.This is one gift you can see pictures of, because I think it is pretty fabulous. Chuck does too and can't wait to see if I actually have the guts to use it :) Jenn made me a card that I can carry in my pocket the week of the wedding and if anyone argues with us, questions our decisions, complains about ANYTHING, fights with me about who is sitting where at the reception, or whatever, I can just pull out the card and flash it :) "I am the bride...thanks!" You know, just in case anyone forgets whose wedding it actually is :) She offered to make Chuck one too that said he was the groom, but he said if anyone gives him a hard time or complains he'll just point them to me and let me play the "I'm the bride" card :) (Like he said, being the bride probably carries a little more weight than being the groom when it comes to wedding details but he did promise to be my body guard and have my back defending any decision I make!)
