My sister and mother hosted a fabulous bridal shower for me yesterday. I don't know about the rest of the ladies but I had a GREAT! time.
I don't think I can relay everything but I will highlight a few things...
First of all, we played a game where we had to see if we had certain things in our purses... Rick's mother and nanny and I were on a team together and we won because nanny had toothbrush in her purse which was worth 15 points!
Lets see... I got the most amazing gifts, especially some stuff that will be useful on the honeymoon like new beach towels and an awesome laundry bag!
But I have to tell a story to tell about my most favorite gift...
So, Rick's family does this white elephant gift exchange for Christmas where everybody brings a gift and they get swapped and stolen, etc etc. Well last Christmas the gift I picked was this snowman figurine carrying a drum and it was stolen and swapped before I could steal it back and I was genuinely sad. All the aunts fight over the beautiful figurines and I lost :(. So Rick's nanny bought me the exact same one! I don't think I can explain how much I love it but it makes me feel like officially part of his family. (Don't get me wrong I felt like a part of his family before, but now it is official!) But anyway... it meant so much to me!
And the very best part was the ice cream cake my sister had made with my FAVORITE ice cream flavor including caramel sauce!
Overall, it was a wonderful party with great food and great gifts. Rick even got a gift that was geared toward him! My aunt won a lottery at her work for 2 tickets to a Redskins game so we are going in October! Needless to say, Rick was a happy boy when he came to pick me up!
Just goes to show once again how blessed we are to have such an amazing family and to be marrying into one is well. Rick and I truly could not ask for anything or anyone better.
Love,
your soon-to-be-wed richmonders.
