My MOH (sister) says to me yesterday

Sister: 'Tell Mom you don't want a shower because she keeps bugging me about it. She says it will be incredibly hurtful if you don't have one. You don't right?'

Me (driving):

Sister: 'Oh, you're kidding.'

Me:

Sister: 'really?'

Me: 'Well, yeah, I do want a shower...'

Sister: 'Oh lord...well, I'm not doing a lingerie shower. Remeber when our cousin had one and we refused to participate? Heh heh heh.'

Me: 'If someone threw me a lingerie shower, I wouldn't show up!'

Sister:

See, the thing is, I'm not your average bride. I'm 40 years old, I have pretty much everything I need, so it's not as if I need to be 'showered' with gifts for my new home. And I don't want anyone buying me lingerie, that would make me really uncomfortable. (I refused to participate in my cousin's because I didn't get my own invite as I was living at home at the time and I was insulted. Besides, it was in California, so it was just a gift-grab, I wasn't going to go to the shower.) But, I do want a shower! Not for the gifts, but because I want a fuss made over me. That's not wrong, right? This is my only wedding, and I want a little fuss. So I guess I'm having one. I'll send my mom a list of my friends and my FH's relatives.

I agree with the above! Of course you deserve a shower!!!
