Last Saturday my dear friends and family did something quite amazing and threw me a bridal shower unlike any other. Knowing that I'm not the typical bridal shower sort, they came up with the idea to have a Mad Hatter Tea due to the fact that a) I really do love Disney and b) I absolutely love color. It was wonderful and came complete with tea (iced that is), three different types of delicious cupcakes made from scratch, chocolate covered strawberries (my personal favorite), giant playing cards, inflatable flamingos, and absolutely crazy hats.My mom and sister slaved away to create some rather eccentric hats, but mine was created with what I can only describe as extra special love. It was huge. Actually, that is an understatement. It was enormous and blanketed with white roses and ribbon dangling down my back. All dressed up with the monstrosity upon my head I felt a bit like a Stepford Wife, sitting there chit-chatting away, drinking tea and munching on tea sandwiches and cupcakes. I also received some great advice, as well as had the opportunity to give some of my own (hence the photo).
Needless to say, it was a blast. I felt incredibly loved and was showered with numerous incredibly thoughtful gifts. I am constantly amazed by how many people want to celebrate with Paul and I. Thanks.
