A special bridal shower!

I know, I know… I shouldn’t have worried that much...

Really, I shouldn’t have lost any sleep over anything... but I did! For over a month I worried about the weather, over the sun shinning too bright and the wind being too rough, I worried about the menus, and setting up a perfect table, and providing the ideal finishing touches, and finding the perfect roses for the vases (roses set the mood of love and romance for every event, you know)… so yes, I had to have fresh roses too, and the colors had to be compatible with the wedding color scheme...

...but you have to understand... the bridal shower I was giving was in honor to my beautiful daughter Cindy… and it had to perfect, and memorable, and special…

And so I cooked, and baked, and cleaned, and decorated, and cooked some more all while worrying that everything would turn out perfect… and it it! Everything turned out beautifully just the way it was; perfect in every imperfect detail… truly a memorable happy day!

The food was delicious and we had a great time enjoying this joyful day in the company of family and friends. The garden was beaming with light and joyful sounds, and pink and red roses where in full bloom; their petals soft in the grass, as a tribute to the bride….

We played games and even made a gorgeous wedding dress out of paper for the bride to be.... only it didn't fit Cindy, so Karlyn wore it in joyful anticipation of her own special day!

Then came the best part... the opening of the presents!

Every bride has dreamed of the fairy tale wedding since she was able to walk around in mom's high heels, and Cindy’s dreamt day has finally arrived… In a week now our dear daughter will be marrying the man of her dreams, and Mike and I will just hold hands, walk down the isle with her and keep the memory of this day in our hearts for ever...
