This past weekend, I had my first bridal shower. It blew away my expectations. It was above and beyond. I had the best time! And the photos are evidence of that. I had a smile from ear-to-ear pretty much the entire time. Here are some photos from the lovely event! Make sure to read the captions for some more details.
