In Case You Missed It...

Hello! I had my bridal shower this past Sunday. You know what that means? Less than 2 months until I take the plunge... yikes! Whatever happened to time? This post is dedicated to my friends, foes, and family members who couldn't make it to the event on Sunday (P.S. if you're reading this, you're not my foe...). My goal is to make you feel like you were THERE. Heeeere we go!

Scene: You walk into an apartment building in the Pearl District in Downtown Portland.

Behold! You've found my mom hanging out in her "Working Girl" homage outfit! "The party is on the 16th floor Penthouse," she lets you know. You get on the elevator any mozy your way over to the Skylounge.


"Wow!" You think to yourself, "What a sweet set up! I just LOVE pink"





"Cute!" you say in your head.























"Charming!" you think again. You thinker, you.


















You head over to pour your self a cup of tea...
















Or grab a mimosa if that is more your style.




























"Friend/Family/Foe!! You've made it! Let me have my future-aunt Sharon finish admiring my awesome engagement ring and I'll come say hello!" exclaims the bride-to-be.


















"Melissa! You look fabulous!" you say.




"I always do," replies Melissa, "grab yourself a chai tea cupcake and a napkin, then I'll introduce you to my friends."
















And then you do just that. Because you obviously love cupcakes.




















Pink again!











"Here are all of my friends!"


"Oh! You guys look like da Vinci's "Last Super" painting!"


"Totally unintentional, but you are correct."











After meeting all of the friends/family, you head over to make your very own fascinator at the fascinator making station.












Cathy beats you at the clothes pin game. You lost quickly because you couldn't help but say "Mark" and/or "Melissa" over and over again.












Oh look! It's time to watch Melissa open gifts...














Riveting. PS: this goes on for a while...
















Kitchen towels! etc, etc, etc...













The bridal shower winds up. You take a moment to enjoy the break in the rain outside and admire how pretty Portland is. "Goodbye Clouds!"










You grab the Jelly Belly favor and take off...














The End!




Thanks for coming to the shower!!! :)
