1 - Last weekend was a bridal shower double bill for my sister.
The first was a city shower hosted by my mom and my cousin, and was held at my cousin's house.
2 - Above, Julianne MacLean and her cousin/bestest friend/critique partner, the bride-to-be, Michelle.
My sister with our mom, Paulette.
3 - Tasty shower delectables.
4 - Catching up with friends and family.
5 - Time to open prezzies. Including lovely confections like this lingerie.
6 - And this collection of recipes from my sister's friends at the office.
7 - A new day, a new shower! This time at the cottage.
8 - This shower was hosted by Michelle's new family-in-law-to-be. Above, her fiance's mother Joan chats with her lifelong friend.
My sister's new family-in-law has sisters, step-daughters, cousins, nieces and a step-granddaughter.
9 - More delish dishes of yumminess.
10 - More fun - above, my mom nabs her gift back during a Yankee gift exchange.
The photographer informs Michelle what she'll be saying to Newt on the wedding night. These are taken from all of the bride-to-be's remarks as she opens her gifts. Hilarious!
11 - More frothy confections!
12 - Newt's sister bestows a handmade cooking apron to Michelle. Now she's in like Flynn.
13 - A lifetime of happiness is wished for Michelle and Newt!

ReplyDeleteLooks like a great time was had by all but where are you? I don't see you on the photos.
ReplyDeleteAkelamalu - There's one shot of me at the first shower, and it's currently on my Facebook profile picture. I think Newt's cousin got a lot of shots of me at the second shower. But I was busy roaming and clicking away.
