Sunny skies and a lovely shower

Pardon me for falling behind on my entries, but to be honest I needed a break from all things bridal. Hence the Memorial Day bbq where I lost all recollection of my super snug gown and took the diet, shmiet approach.

Now back to the important stuff-- my shower. My Aunts B and K threw me a luncheon shower at Eleven Madison Park – right across from the Shake Shack for those of you, like my fiancé, who know New York City not by street corners but by hamburger joints. Shower # 1 was great, don’t get me wrong, but shower # 2 was a party with all my nearest and dearest friends and family. There were faces I hadn’t seen in years and friends from faraway that I talk to daily but only see occasionally. In addition to pillows, baking pans and blenders, there were even some Euros and travel checks for my honeymoon thrown into the gift mix. Finally something I know how to use!

Some of the memorable moments of the afternoon included:

a presentation of special occasion wines from my bridesmaids including: one month anniversary wine, making up is fun to do wine, first shabbat wine and It's a...wine.




AS printed out all of my blog entries and put them into an album!









With new initials comes a new monogram bag.






And my fiancé showed up at the end bearing gifts!
