~ShOwErEd with lOvE~

So I woke up today with an email from the hair/makeup girl for the wedding saying that she won’t have enough time to provide services for everyone listed and she will “try and find an assistant to come and hopes they aren’t all booked”  this is after I reached out to her to touch base after already giving her this information in late May… total stress/frustration.  On top of the fact that work continually throws new projects my way that I can’t physically complete without working wayyy overtime (which frankly, I’m not motivated to do considering my last day is supposed to be August 31^st).  The same work that hasn’t even started interviewing my replacement which I’m afraid means they’ll want me to continue working… which I really can’t do full time because I have a million other details to finish for the wedding… AHHH!!  Why is it that no matter how far in advance I try to plan things, how on top of it I try to be there are ALWAYS  things that come up?  Life I guess??

Okay, venting time is over, time to remind myself that I am SOOO lucky because I have so many people in my life that are helping and making this entire experience (of getting married) even more exciting and special than I could imagine. 

I’m finally getting around to posting photos of the last few weeks and here are a few from the stunning shower a week and a half ago.

 I am lucky enough to have a mom who is a great planner and friend and even luckier that she has a circle of close friends that are literally like second (and third and fourth and ninth) mom’s to me.  These are women who’ve known me since birth and it means so much to have them be a part of the celebrations.

I adore formal events and love any chance to dress up so the bridal shower was perfect!  The shower was held at McGregor Country Club and was just beautiful from the flowers and candles to the menu cards, to the adorable petit fours for dessert.  I was spoiled with gifts and showered with love!
