It POURED on Sunday!! Pics inside!

My mom and sister threw me an amazing bridal shower on Sunday at Alice's Teacup on the Upper East Side. The place is Alice in Wonderland -themed, and we had a tea party! About 25 people were there, and then FH and my dad showed up about halfway through. I got the things I wanted the very most off my registry, but more importantly, it was so wonderful to have everyone all together, all happy, laughing and chatting. What an amazing feeling to see my cousins from one side of the family, other cousins, college friends, work friends, etc. all together and all having fun... it was great. And it makes me look forward to my wedding so much more!

Okay, here are some pics...

My sister bought beautiful stationery and printed our names (DAVA DAMIAN) down the left side of it, and had everyone fill out words of advice for us that started with each letter. So cool! What a wonderful keepsake.

Opening gifts:

FH liked this part:

I could only stand wearing the hat for about 10 minutes... it was hard to balance!

Me and my wonderful bridal party:

Thanks!

People always think my sister and I are twins. We've even been stopped on the street by strangers about it.
