I HAD MY SHOWER YESTERDAY!!! UPDATED PG.3 WITH FLOWER & FAVOR PICS
Original post by babybride
And I was 100% surprised! I tried really hard to figure out when it would be, but always ruled out this weekend as we had a 'communion' on FI's side of the family in Staten Island. I never would have imagined it would be on Staten Island - I guess that is why they did it there!
Everything was wonderful. The flowers were gorgeous hydrangea and roses. The favors were spaghetti spoons, wedding cake cookies, and chocolate bars. Everything looked so gorgeous!!!
One of the highlights was my FMIL made holiday baskets - one basket for each holiday. Easter, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Fourth of July, Halloween, etc... Everyone was blown away by then. She said she was glad we had a long engagement so she could shop around for all the items!!
Another highlight was my MOH wrote a whole poem about our lives and us growing up (we have known each other since we were 5) There wasn't a dry eye in the place!
I will post pictures later on. I have none right now and am waiting for people to send me some!!!
**Someone just sent me this link. Sorry there are a million and they all are the same - me opening gifts, but I can't remove them from her album. And please ignore the second one where I am HYSTERICAL crying!!! I still have to post the invites and favors. They were so cute!!!***

I worked with Jen in the library. I haven't seen or spoken to her in years. I remember when she was pledging Alpha Phi and she was a walking zombie at work. I wonder if she remembers me. Then again, there aren't many Juliet's out there, so she may remember my name. I worked with her for a few years. I remember her complaining about not being able to find jeans long enough
Small world!

oooo looks nice!
i wanted lingerie. no one got me any... so now i have to go shopping before honeymoon!
ooooo i see you got a Kim Anderson figurine!!! My FH bought me the Kim Anderson cake topper i wanted!!
I love Kim Anderson!! Which one did you get for your cake topper. I couldn't decide so FI got me two. The one where they are on top of a cake and it plays music and the other one they are under a tree. FI actually proposed with a Kim Anderson figurine - Will you be my forever? That is how obsessed with them I am!!
He got me the trellis one... since its fitting since we'll be having a chuppah. Its a limited edition and he went all over looking for it! Poor guy! Meanwhile i was stalking it on ebay. i love the music one, that was my second choice if we couldnt get this one.

Oh and the invitations were cute too. Maybe I will take my own pics tonight to post. They had a little girl bride with hydrangea (told you I love that flower ) and the poem was something like:
Cupid's work is almost done Laura and Tom will soon be one but as we wait for that day and hour please join us as we honour Laura XXX with a surprise bridal shower.
Or something like that. I read it so many times that day and all week - I think I have it memorized!

Thank you so much! You are going to make me start crying right now - I cry for everything!!! That's why I keep saying can't I just be at the altar? Do I really need to walk down the aisle?? Seriously thanks, that was beautiful!
