A Pinterest-Worthy Bridal Shower

Being engaged has been such an exciting time, mostly because of the many moments it has created to bring our loved ones together.

Our “Couples Shower” was a few weekends ago and I can’t begin to describe how wonderful it was to have both Matt’s family and my extended family together for the first time.

When my aunt Peggy offered to host the shower, I thought, “great, it will be a casual backyard barbecue.” But when Matt and I arrived, I felt like we had walked into a styled photo shoot. Every last detail was absolutely Pinterest-worthy

The photos don’t even begin to do it justice, but details included wildflowers picked from my aunt Eileen’s property, hand-made wooden center pieces made by my uncle Don, a photo wall of both Matt and I through the years, the most delicious wine and fresh fruit cocktails I have EVER tasted, and best of all, 50 of the most important people in our lives.

It’s crazy to think the shower is over, because I’ve built that up in my mind to be such a defining moment of “YEAH, THIS THING IS HAPPENING.” But… yeah. This thing is happening.

48 days and counting…
