The Bridal Shower

When you've been friends with a group of people all your life;

When you've traveled together;

When you've had countless sleepovers together;

And when you've gotten waaaay too comfortable around each other...

You tend to think that you're all somewhat the same age.

And when you all feel that you're at least in the same range when it comes to age,

it becomes kind of hard to grasp when one of you gets engaged!

Although it's been almost two years since her announcement, I still find it quite difficult to wrap my mind around the fact that JAMIE'S GETTING MARRIED IN TWENTY DAYS!

Yes, this seemingly 15 year old lady is actually a bride - to be. <3

She's my sister's best friend.

So, my sister, Gab,  is the maid of honor and the mastermind behind the cutest FIRST bridal shower of our group!

Our bridal shower was bedroom - themed. We had lots of photos, signs, decor and girly things around the room and for our outfits for the day, we had customized shirts made from Vrtx!

(Such an awesome shirt store, go check it out on Facebook!)

For dessert, we had pre - ordered Red Velvet Jars from Gab's office - mate. The letters were just painted pink and stuck onto the jar caps to add the the girly - ness of the room. This blog is actually so pink, it's crazy.

We had a bunch of games too. If you can see the things hanging around our waists, you might be able to guess the game. Haha! It was pretty fun... well it's always fun with this group. <3

Anyway, I can't believe I almost didn't go to this thing. This bridal shower really filled my happy - tank. Well, it was more of the people involved. The pink-ness and cute-ness and girly-ness just added a whole lot.

Even if it stole a whole day of work which could have been used for doing plates, it was totally worth it. It was an entire day of watching Jamie do scavenger hunt tasks, forcing Jamie to approach random strangers and announce her bride-to-be-ness, laughing at Jamie, making fun of Jamie, being excited for Jamie, giving gifts to Jamie and making Jamie happy. <3

I'm super duper happy to have this group of girls in my life. Huhuhu so much happy vibes, I want to cry. As in, happy cry! Oh, life is good. :)

Can't wait till the next bridal shower!

Oh wait.

Can't wait till the wedding!
