I felt it only appropriate that I post my Hawaii shower pictures before I start writing about my California one... It was yesterday and it was SO much fun... the theme was "shoes" hehe...
The decorations were adorable... christian loubiton, prada, manolo blahnik & jimmy choo shoe boxes everywhere with pink, black and white ribbons everywhere... there were also black and pink heels all over for decorations as well as pink roses wrapped with black and white polka dotted ribbons on all the tables... Aunty Bet had a pink "shoe" cake made and shoe cookies were given out as favors. You can imagine my delight!!!
All the girls were asked to wear their favorite, fun shoe and one of the games was to stick out your foot and the judges (Aunty Ruby, Denise, Bet) walked around rating everyone's shoes... they had prizes for smallest shoe, most diva shoe, highest heel and most colorful!
Another game was trivia-- questions such as what do the 4 C's stand for, what is the most popular month for weddings, proposals, what is the average price of an engagement ring, etc.
Then another game was played, and it was "How Well Do You Know The Bride?" I was very happy that 2 of my bridesmaids won that one-- Casie and Samantha. I think the funniest part is that when everyone was filling out their answers, Aunty Denise was asking me questions out loud. They were questions about the Groom and how well I knew him. Some of them were a little puzzling, but I have to say, I was pretty happy because I think I got all but one right!!! Some were really easy- favorite color: blue, favorite thing to do: halo, favorite food: sushi....etc. Some of the trickier ones were- who would Sean be if he could be anyone? I answered Kobe, and was right! Another one was if he could go anywhere where would he go? I said somewhere tropical, his answer was Bahamas. Also what is his most embarassing moment? I said- Sean actually doesn't really ever get embarassed. And she said yes! He said he didn't have one. Aunty Denise also asked him what his favorite thing about this wedding process was and he said: spending time together. Everyone was like "awwww", but Jenny and I were like "what a suck up!!!" I think I turned bright red and almost cried when she said "your favorite thing about Lauren" and he said: putting herself 2nd. I know a lot of Sean is sarcastic and jokes, but to hear a sincere answer that couldn't really be a joke, was like wow! It really caught me off guard! Another funny thing is that she said if he could have any car he wanted, and it's so weird because I literally just asked him this question out of the blue when we were driving around the other day... of course, you know me and cars, I was like shoot, I think it was a lambourghini and she was like no, porsche-- they all sound the same to me! Whoops!
I feel very, very blessed and loved. Both my showers were amazing and it was really obvious how much work and preparation went into planning them. I know I am biased, but they were the best showers I've ever been to! I feel so lucky to have such great friends and family... and to be marrying into such an amazing family as well.
Thank you Aunty Denise, Ruby and Bet & Samantha for hosting my shower-- and thank you so much to all my friends and family who were able to come out and celebrate :) Love you all! Pictures to come!
