the bridal shower

I deleted my original bridal shower post simply because it was a mess. And I doubt I'll be able to write anything that's not humiliatingly crappy within the next two weeks, so maybe I could retell this story some other time when my relationship with words is not taking the backseat to my engagement. But I'm sharing pictures to show you how awesome my bridal shower was, and how diabetically sweet my girlfriends are. (Oh shut up, auto correct program! "Diabetically" is acceptable, leave me alone!)

For now, here are the pictures. I have to do the party justice, so I'd wait until my writing juju is finally accessible. Enjoy the visuals, and I mean really enjoy the visuals ;p

What they were doing behind my back:

Discovering their event styling talents for the first time.

Aly handpenteled each of those those zebra prints.

And Yayi made use of what we've recently learned from YouTube.

How to make flower pompoms.

They got me a cake, look! Oh, on second thought, don't.

There's knickers and err-- candies for everyone

Yayi prepared a slideshow presentation for me, which I thought was very sweet of her...

Until slide 8. And now you all know my bra size.

And this, all of this, is what makes a bride, a very happy one, despite all the stress and the constant panic attacks :)

Thank you girlies! Love you! :)
