NOW WITH PICS - HAD MY SHOWER ON SUNDAY!!! WOOHOO!!! (LONG)
Original post by OctBride03
My MOH TOTALLY threw me off!!! They did it early so I wouldn't figure anything out! It was BEAUTIFUL and I'm so happy I was surprised! I've been a registry peeker and thought I'd ruin it!!!
My BP went through a lot of trouble getting me to cooperate last week with weekend plans, I was difficult, but they got me there... FINALLY! I OWE THEM BIG TIME!
It was at La Motta on the marina in Port Washington. It was BEAUTIFUL!!! RIGHT on the water!!! I have pictures (will post soon) It was a brunch, what the food tasted like, I have NO idea! I was too nervous to eat!!! I didn't cry which I thought I would've but, I handled myself very well, if I must say so myself, CONSIDERING I was out until 330am the night before!
Anyway, my MOH chose such cute invites! It was a picture of me (hehe) when I was about 5 or 6 and says something about me being all grown up and getting married (picture to come), the center pieces were baskets filled with sugar cookie mix and fruit crisp mix... the favor was little jars of jelly with a tag saying something along the lines of 'spreading showers of happiness' (I dont remember, will post a pic of it) and a couple of other little extras and EVERYTHING was done in my wine and champagne colors! JOHN brought me a dozen roses! (he's so sweet)
My registries are pretty much GONE! We got almost EVERYTHING - John's basement is FILLED!
It was so exciting, nothing like I expected! It's a blur to me, I WISH I could remember some things! I don't even recall people shouting 'SURPRISE!'
It was amazing! I'm sad that it's over though...

Great pictures Lauren...you look so pretty! Everything looks so perfect. You were a little cutie - - Great idea for invites! I love the cake too. I think your family/BM's threw you a great shower.
Do you look like your mom? It is hard to tell from the picture but I am thinking yes!
