As I started to tell you yesterday, hive, my bridal shower was just spectacular. I feel like I could say what most brides say about their wedding day - "It went by too quickly! I'm not sure if I spoke to everybody! It was just such a whirlwind of people, and food, and fun!" And it couldn't be more true.
A little back story on the shoe theme (notice the center piece is a shoebox?). I'm a definitely shoe lover, and absolutely own far too many pairs. However, my shoe love goes waaaaay back. When I was a kid and went shoe shopping I got a choice: I could either wear my new shoes home, or I could keep them in the box so they'd be nice and clean so I could wear them to bed that night. I'm not saying I was normal. Something about that new shoe smell made me endlessly happy. Apparently falling asleep to that new shoe smell was nirvana. Now I'm the therapist. Go figure. Anyway, back to the shower.

I simply couldn't ask for more! The shower was hosted by my Aunt Brenda and Aunt Janice as well as MOH Julia (which means with lots of help from Mama Seashell). I could not be more thankful for the time and effort that went into making this day so beautiful and memorable. The love and generosity of all of the women who attended was just exceptional. A bride-to-be couldn't be luckier!
P.S. The cake was a "Zuppa Inglese". 10 points if you know what that is!
