Bridal Showers

Oh yes! Go Bridal Showers! Over the past three days I have been to two of them-- it seems to be the summer for getting married. I know 8 (EIGHT!) people getting married this summer- some that already have and some that will. Isn't that crazy? (Haha, perhaps it's a good thing I'm not getting married this summer- it wouldn't be as special)

And of course along with lovely brides comes lovely bridal showers. I've been to many different kinds now, ward ones (completely clean) friend ones (also clean) and then different friend ones (much more risque) and they've all been so much fun!

We've played guessing games, dancing games, writing games, memory games, and I've twice now done the toilet paper wedding dress. The first time I was the model (complete with bouquet and toilet paper ring-I get telling everyone it was 50 carats TP) and a very lovely dress it was too. The second time my boss, Lisa, was the model and my goodness I did enjoy that! She too had a lovely bouquet and ring (although I think my veil was better than hers, but what can I say? My mom is good at veil-making) and she even did the model strut for us and held several bridal poses so we could all get good shots! (Have I mentioned yet how much I absoultely LOVE my boss?)

All in all it's been a very fun week and I've quite enjoyed all the chaos and glamour generally associated with weddings! I love them! One next week, one the week after that, and then we're quiet until the beginning of August. I love this!

Where are the pictures? Honestly you can't talk about a toilet paper wedding dress (something I've never heard of...) without some pictures - especially since you were modeling one. I'll wait with baited breath until you upload them.

What?! Steph's never heard of a toilet paper wedding dress?!?! (Well, maybe if she'd have LET us give her a wedding shower...) Bonnie, I used to enjoy wedding showers too...and then all of a sudden I was the one planning them; a few in a row, actually. They aren't as much fun that way, just FYI. So, enjoy while you can!

I'll be the Scrooge of this party. Bah humbug....
I don't like weddings, and I don't even have to do as many as Bonnie does. I can't wait not to have one.
