The Final Shower
I honestly thought I would be burned out by my fourth wedding shower, but those who know me best - my family and my matron of honor Steph - know how to throw a relaxing and fitting shower: no tiaras or awkwardness allowed. The fete was in Lancaster at my parents' house. It was wonderful to see everyone, and I was also impressed by how many people dressed in teal, sometimes unintentionally. Wedding ESP was apparently high.
We kicked things off with wedding versions of trivia and Scattegories games with potted plants as prizes and spent the rest of the time eating, drinking, talking, and opening presents. The food was absolutely scrumptious, especially the crab quiche, which had initially made me nervous. (My prior experience with quiche was a very painful one: in my last year of highschool French we were asked to judge a quiche contest, which involved tasting a dozen mostly cold quiches made by the freshmen. It was even more disgusting than it sounds.)
All of the gifts were fantastic - and also clever, since every guest had been assigned a letter of the alphabet and asked to buy a gift that somehow reflected the letter. My Aunt Louise, for example, used M for Movie Night: JiffyPop, a bicycle themed bottle of wine, and two dvds.
It seemed like everyone had a good time...I certainly did at least. Yay Showers! And teal...
