Wedding Shower!!!




This weekend was my wedding shower back in Chicago. It was a lot of fun and I got a chance to see old friends and family, and of course Biggie's family who will soon be my family too! Voula and Chrissie threw me the shower and it was lovely. The flowers were beautiful spring tulips in white simple pitchers and I wish I had a good picture to show cause they were really sweet! I must say this weekend was the first time I felt some wedding stress. I guess it's because its really happening. No more talk but action. The gifts were beautiful and I can't wait to make a cake with my new bundt pan, maybe make a panini sandwich with my grill press, or wrap my self in an organic bath towel after a hot shower! I feel a little spoiled by it all. At first I must say it was a little uncomfortable to ask for things and it is still a little sureal to have all these new beautiful things. I am very thankful for everything and most of all I am thankful for everyones well wishes for John and I as we begin our journey together.

Superb wedding shower dear!! The sparkles are my favorite and you worked greatly with them. I like everything about this party. My bridal shower was organized at one of best wedding venues Los Angeles last week. My mom and my sister arranged this amazing party.
