April Showers, Bring May Flowers....

.... or a june wedding

you can pick!

This past Sunday, I had my very first wedding shower! The girls in my Sunday school class threw it for me so it was super small and perfect! A private room was booked at DeAngelo's Pizzaria so we pigged out and opened presents! I am thankful the first one was small because I HATE being the center of attention!! Im normally use to getting excited about television shows, chaco tan lines, and new races.... now I have to get excited about plates, lamps, and trashcans! 

The favorite part to me about showers are all the people that come together to celebrate you and lavish love on you! It's neat to see how people support you and the covenant you and your fiance' are about to make to glorify Christ!!

With all that said, enjoy these photos:

sweet little cushioned bath mat!

Canisters to put cool stuff in... like sugar, cereal, flour.... you know that kind of stuff

Cute little wreath precious Brenda made for me!

Only the coolest spoon rest you will EVER encounter!!

you know I make this cake look good! :)

precious roomies!

I also got: a trivet, cookbook, platter, salt/pepper shakers, plates, hand towels, and a spice rack (to make my marriage spicy :] )

Peace. Love. Showers

celebration.

This past weekend, two of my lovely friends Kelli and Troy celebrated their wedding! It was so beautiful. They had the reception and the wedding in the same building, it was small cozy and perfect! I would have more pictures for you but I always feel awkward creepin photos. Their main color was plum and the guys wore bow ties and converse. I'm usually not a wedding cryer... but this one... TOTALLY did!

Kelli was a cheerleader in college and Troy was a hit on the basketball team, basically they are perfect together! Jon Jon and I always joked with them about having a double wedding, but that obv didn't happen!

wedding overload

Jon Jon and I have officially decided on a wedding date, June 9 2012! yes you are ALL invited, only if you bring your dancin shoes! ;) Last night we started budgeting... and by started I mean we talked about it got annoyed then quit!  Today in order to get over myself, i found all these cute wedding options on the Knot and Pintrest. Our colors are Glacier (teal) and Yellow. The girls dresses will be glacier and a lot of the decor will be yellow! The guys will wear fitted khakis with a white button up and some sort of tie thing, hopefully we can find a glacier one but if it has to be yellow I won't hate it! Oh, and Burlap will def be involved! With all that said... here are some jams....

such a cute DIY project!

we would Obv use lemons :)

love this tie.. love this manflower.

favorite

this is really weird but i love it!

this is a cd for the wedding favor of the couples fav songs, jon jon and i thought about doing it but we changed our minds. I still love it though

 TOTALLY obsessed with this. How cute would it be to get these for our guest to wear during the wedding, but in our colors!

 a little dramatic for me, but i still think its cool.

love love these... is it okay for the manflower and girl flower to be different? 

hello jam square cake. 

bridesmaids!!!

So, remember how Friday I wrote the post about Nutella Cupcakes?!?!?!!! Well, they were put to good use!! I had been planning this for about a month or so, but I wanted to finish my summer class before I did it because I knew it would take some time! 

Wanna know what I did with them?! Well, I made them and used them as a tool to ask my bridesmaids to be bridesmaids! It was so much fun! My sister and I made them and delivered them!! I put little flags in them that said Bridesmaid? Flowergirl? Maid of Honor? Matron of Honor? and it was such a hit!! 

No worries, I dont really know how the roles of a matron and maid differ but I knew I wanted them both to be there for EVERYTHING! I also knew one is married and the other isn't so it only made sense!

all the cupcakes!
