The Pampered Bride

After months of anticipation, the day of my Pampered Chef bridal shower finally arrived. Whitney, Shannon, and Carrie (three of the sweetest girls on Earth) hosted the beautiful event. My mom, sister, and niece drove in Saturday morning and we met at Nitsa's for my final fitting. I love my gown and can't wait to put it on again!! Kaitlyn was mesmerized and wanted Aunt Mir to sit by her :).

After the excitement of the wedding gown, we set off to Whitney's for some pampering! Walking in the door was like walking into a spread of a magazine. The table was decorated with beautiful flowers, homemade sushi (best I've ever had) and spreads, Cheerwine punch with frozen heart cubes, and a red velvet cupcake bouquet. Too beautiful to eat, although I'm sure glad we did!


The games were awesome! Whitney passed around 8 clear containers with various white powders that you would find in a kitchen. Without opening the lid, we each shook the containers and stared in puzzlement guessing at its contents. I managed to figure out 6 out of 8 (flour, sugar, grits, splenda, baking soda, and salt!), scoring a very handy soap and lotion set for my new kitchen! The luck backfired on the next game. Whitney had asked Jarrett 10 questions and then quizzed me for his answers. For every answer I missed, I had to chew a piece of bubble gum. Out of nervousness/cluelessness/sugary gum-glucose overload, I managed to miss about 4 or 5 questions. I could hardly talk with that mouth full of chewing gum :). Hilarious.


As my friends well know, I absolutely love to cook. So you can imagine that a pampered chef shower is perfect for this bride! Whitney designed and decorated a cute display with items on my wish list. I'm so excited about my new kitchen tools and can't wait to whip up some creations (with improved ease) in my new kitchen. Each girl also brought a couple of recipes to share. My favorite recipe came from my mom, which was a wedding recipe for a happy bride and groom that she got at her very own bridal shower. It was very touching!


Thank you to my amazing friends and family for being who you are! I am so blessed to have you all in my life. I love you!
