The past few weekends I have been fortunate enough to attend four bridal showers!! That’s four times the yummy food and being the center of attention. Justin’s aunts hosted my first bridal shower in Cedar Falls, Iowa and many of his relatives from both sides attended the shower. One of the great things I received was a white apron that all of the guests signed. I ended up taking the apron to my other showers, and hopefully everyone’s good wishes will make me a better cook!
Then Doris’s friends and co-workers hosted a morning shower for me in Omaha. The shower was at Jennifer Haywood’s home and she had prepared a wonderful brunch. It was nice to meet many of the McAleer family friends. Most of them have watched Justin grow up, so they could tell me some great stories!
Later that afternoon, my bridesmaids hosted a friend’s shower for me at Marlina’s loft downtown. It was a mini-Northwest reunion, and I loved chatting with all the girls! The shower had a “Stock the Bar” theme so they had made special martinis in our wedding colors for everyone to enjoy. Afterwards we headed over to the Upstream to catch up some more.
The next morning I had my last shower, hosted by my sister and mom, for my side of the family. My sister had asked Justin a few questions that morning to see how well I knew him. I think I did pretty well! Although I was surprised to learn that Justin’s one word used to describe me was “structure”. Recently many of my cousins and aunts have had little ones, so it was fun to see all the cute babies…although it makes me realize I couldn’t handle five kids, two will do!
It was great to see everyone before the wedding and catch up! Thank you to everyone for everything, I know some people traveled a few hours to attend! Below are a few pictures from the showers! See everyone soon!!
