Sorry this update too so long. I have out of town guests until Sunday night. After they all left I went to my sisters to play with my new Toys. I didnt get home Sunday until late and I crashed.
Anyway!
Friday night after work I picked up Shannon, my bestest girl friend/Bridesmaid from the south, from the airport and we went to grab a bite to eat at Mimis Café. After eating and refueling we hit the Mall. I had to drop my wedding band off to be sized. It was a size 7 and I need a 5.5 . Next I need my engagement ring sized, but I didnt want to be without it for the shower. I also picked up a tripod at the camera store. Shannon and I had lots of catching up to do. She lives far away and we only see each other once or twice a year. I was so glad we had Friday to spend together. When we got home around 9:30pm or so our other out of town guests were still not there yet. Shannon and I got to working making earrings and an ankle bracelet for the bridesmaids. They turned out so very pretty! I love mine so much, and the girls all loved thiers. Edwin, Kim and Julie (Pete's best man, his wife and thier 2 year old) got there around 10pm and we all stayed up way too late. Shannon went to bed around 1pm and Kim and I stayed up chatting until almost 4pm! Pete and Edwin went to the dinner for a bite to eat around 1:00pm or so. I was so excited that I wasnt the least bit tired! I forced myself to go to sleep finally!

I woke up at 7am because it was like Christmas and I was soo very excited. I took a shower and got dressed just in time for Laura (sister/Shower Host) to drop Alyssa (my 7 month old niece) off to me. I watched her so Laura could get stuff done for the shower. I woke Shannon up and we headed out to go to the Market for a flower for my hair (Thanks for the great sugestion Mikkel) and flowers for the graveyard. It was my Moms Birthday and since she was not here to share it with us we thought it would be a perfect day for a shower and I wanted to go and thank her for making sure it didnt rain! Thats right no rain, but it was hot as he11!!! LOL I forgot in my prayers to ask for it to be sunny and cool. Oh well, no rain is great!
We stopped by Dunkin Donuts so Shannon could get breakfast then we went to the post office to pick up a last minute gift from DF's sister. Alyssa was getting so tired, but she was still an angel. At the market I couldnt decide if I wanted an Orchid or a Lily. They had Mini Orchids and Big Lilys so I got some of each. I ended up wearing the Lily.
I also picked up a birthday cake for my Grandmom and flowers for my moms grave.
I had a mini cry fest on the way to the graveyard. I was ok, just sad my Mom wasnt with me for such a special day. At the graveyard I thanked my Mom for the sun and put out the pretty flowers. Alyssa fell asleep at this point.
I had gotten Nikki and Crystal candles as a little thank you gift for hosting the shower, so I stopped at Rhebs (local handmade chocolate shop) and got Laura a small box of Chocolates. When I got home I wrote out my Thank You notes and got together all of our attendants gifts. We had decided to give them to our attendants that night instead of dragging them to Florida with us.
Alyssa was still tired so I took her up for a nap and I got ready and ironed Petes clothes for him too. We were all ready to walk out the door at 2:00pm. I wanted to be early to check everything out. Pete, Shannon, Alyssa and I headed to my sisters while Edwin, Kim and Julie finished getting ready.

The drive over to Laura’s was nerve wracking….I was so excited inside. Well probably outside too! We pulled up and I called my Dad to help us with all of our things. He came out and told me how pretty I looked. It made me feel real good. Then we walked into Laura’s and they showed me my cake. I was Floored! It was so awesome. I started tearing up. They also showed me the favors. It was a tiny flower pot with foam in it holding up a Chocolate Pop. There were also packs of seeds that said “Lisa’s Shower” and the date. I am not a big fan of favors, but these were amazing. All three hostesses and my Dad worked on them. Laura painted the pots, my Dad figured out the foam, Nikki made the Chocolate pops and Crystal got the seeds. Then I went into the back room and looked out at the yard. I wanted to cry it all looked so pretty! I felt so loved. Pete came up behind me and he was very impressed too. It was all so great.
The Centerpieces were awesome. Gerbrea Daisies in vases and candles tired with green and pink ribbon. Soo Pretty!
Within 5 minutes of me walking through the door the guests started arriving. headed out back to greet everyone. I also got out the camera and started taking pictures. I didn’t want to forget a thing. One of my favorite parts was my Seat! It had a Gerbera Daisy Umbrella instead of a frilly lacey wedding shower umbrella. I don’t think a shower is a shower with out an umbrella! Plus I get to keep the umbrella to use on all the rainy days.
I mingled around trying to stop and talk to each table. It was hard work. I kept thinking that I was leaving people out.
The Food spread was awesome! For appetizers there were meatballs, cheese & crackers, fruit, spinach dip, pepperoni, and a few other things. Then for the main course there was grilled pork loin and grilled jerk chicken breast with grilled pineapples, salad, pasta salad, macaroni and cheese, potato salad, mini chicken salad sandwiches on little Hawaiian sweet rolls and I am sure a few things I am forgetting. My sister had a whole food tent set up. We also had soda’s lemonade and “Adult Raspberry Lemonade”.
After appetizers it was time for me to open my gifts. I am never nervous in front of crowds, but to day I was. I was overwhelmed by everything. The first half of my gift opening I had a very serious face. I just kept thinking to my self how lucky I was that all of these people cared about me, then I would remember to smile at the bowl I just opened. It was funny when I look back on it. I got sooo many great gifts. They are all on Flickr. I took pictures of them all Sunday night at Laura’s cause I didn’t want to forget anything.
After the gifts it was time to eat the main course and I went around and thanked everyone. Nikki made me a plate because I had not eaten. I was too excited.
Saturday was my Grandmother’s 78th Birthday. She came with all of my aunts and I had a birthday cake for her. We all sang and it was so cute, she asked if it was her first birthday since we only had one candle. She has Alziemers and it is so sad. I miss her so much. She was my young fun Grandma. When I was born she is only in her 40’s and she was the Grandmother who drove and would roll around on the floor with us. Now she is a person who doesn’t know us. I remember only 5 years ago when my mom died, sitting there crying with my head in her lap as she rubbed my hair, now she doesn’t know us at all. I was happy she could be there with me though.
It was time for my CAKE!
They brought it out and Pete and I posed for a few pictures.
The cake table was set up so nice. It had bride and groom wine toppers, and the favors and plates and forks and knives. It was all so matchy and pretty! The cake was amazing. I don’t even like cake, but this was good! I loved the Icing sooo much and the cake maker wasn’t stingy with it in the least. It is funny the cake was the only Disney element of my shower, and it was one of my favorites.
After cake people started heading out. I made rounds again thanking them and saying goodbyes. Once most people had gone I sat with my Aunts and Grandmom in the basement to Visit while the clean up was going on. Pete carried all of our gifts in and we decided we would take them home this week. It was just too much.
My family all left and then it was just Pete and I and our whole wedding party! We had a few adult beverages and took some group photos and had snacks.
This is when we gave out our Attendants Gifts. I got the girls beach bags, cool hair barrettes, Earrings, Ankle bracelets, shirts that said Bridesmaid, or Maid of Honor and Mickey Earrings. I hoped they liked it all. Pete got the guys Cap Catchers, Beer buckets and Knives. Brandon, the police officer, cut himself with in a minute. LOL
The party broke up around 11:30pm or so and we all headed home. It was honestly one of the best days of my life. I am so thankful for Laura, Nikki and Crystal’s efforts to make my bridal Shower Day more then perfect!

Lisa,
Your shower was AWESOME! Great pictures! You look so happy and pretty in all the pictures.
I love all the decorations, and your cake was so beautiful. Your colors are so beautiful and I can't wait to see that crenoline with your dress!
Please post a picture of the attendants jewelry. I'm dying to see!
Your story about your grandma made me cry hysterically as my grandmother also suffered the same dementia and she was also our fun grandma.

Lisa,
Your shower looks awesome!! I love that cake!! Did someone you know make it, or did you have it special ordered?? I also love the flower umbrella....you look so pretty in your pink dress!!
My Bff's aunt made the cake, she kind of does it as a hobby, she only charged them for supplies.
You had an awesome shower!! I think the picture of you and DF is awesome - you two look so happy!
Thank you ! It was such a great day!
I plan on doing a whole post on the Jewelry. We forgot to take pictures the night of cause we finished it so late. My friend who made it has an Esty shop and does such pretty work!
