I am SO sorry for the lack of updates (*ahem, Kim...) I told myself I would NOT let myself go to bed tonight with at least a SHORT update of what is going on! I just assume everyone follows me on
twitter and knows how close I am to nervous breakdowns with the wedding being SIX weeks away... wha??!?! I feel like I JUST GOT
ENGAGED!!!
Since my update tonight is playing catch up with my life- it would only be fair to let you know that my weekends consist of wedding showers and wedding planning. I work 20 hours at the court house and go to school the rest of the time. I have Fri/Sat/Sun to call vendors, make appointments, find suits at every Macy's in the continental United States, and manage to put mascara on and attend my own showers!
Yep, showers. I am the luckiest girl because every weekend in February is full of showers! The first shower that I'm updating on (because I haven't gotten pics from the most recent one this past Saturday yet) was the one that the bridesmaids threw me. It was absolutely stunning. I can't believe how full time students/wives/nurses/moms/employees put together something that came straight out of pinterest!!! I had NOTHING to do with the shower and was completely surprised when I walked in! Enough chatter, here are some pics so you can see what I mean!

ReplyDeleteI really love how you’ve decorated the place. It’s really nice! I was also planning the bridal shower for my friend who’s getting married in one of the nicest wedding venues Chicago has to offer. Something like this would be perfect.
