The Wedding Shower!

SO.MUCH.FUN!!!!

Bridesmaids did a FABULOUS job. About 20 ladies came to help me celebrate in style.

(you can check out lots of pics at my other less PC blog - www.wienersausagechub.blogspot.com, link found in my profile).

Everyone was assigned a letter of my name to be Heather Anne Oliver....and had to bring a gift that started with whatever letter they got. Before I could open a gift I had to answer a question - if I got it wrong I had to pop a piece of hubba bubba in my mouth. By the end I was chewing approximately 12 pieces of gum because, ahem, Jen and Melissa were not making things easy on me. Thanks girls. Good thing I heart gum.

The absolute best thing was the scrapbook that was given to me. Every person there had to bring some pictures of me and them and had to decorate a page in a scrapbook (Melissa's lovely idea, Dawn's scrapbooking tools). It of course is awesome and made me cry, especially my mom's page with her wedding flowers and Vicky's page with her sob inducing letter all the way from NZ. Everyone's page was great - and there were alot of super fugly pics of me, which is fairly hilarious.

I realized then how many people I have in my life that have been there for so long. The girlfriends that I have are all in it for the long haul - Carmel (18 years!!), Jen (16 years!!!), Vicky (14 years!!), Melissa and Alexis (12 years!!) and the newbie Mikayla (only 3!!! years...but so many more to come....she's the only one that knows how to change a car battery after all).

Anyways, it was AWESOME!


In other news - booked my hair appointment for the big day of - At The Ginger Group. Its right next to the bridal boutique where my ridiculously princessy dress is, so the convenience factor is perfect.

We're off to the Union Club tonight to finalize our meal decision - the chef is making us a few dishes to pick from. mmmmmfoooood.

The CountDown is on!
