Okay, I reaaaally sound like a broken record when I say just how blessed we are with our family and friends! We were in Raleigh last weekend for our third and final shower, NC-style, and it was a-mazing! The entire weekend was perfect right down to the last detail. Plus, my Mom came with us, so it was even more fun!
Our shower hosts, Terri and Kelli, really spoiled us - from the beautiful cake and flowers to my corsage to our crystal flutes with an etched "M" to the party favors and delicious food - it was all PERFECT. (Patrick and I got to drink our champagne from our flutes for the party - so fabulous!) They truly outdid themselves and we are so incredibly thankful. Kelli even had all of our guests sign the matte of a framed photo of us as a special treat. And when Patrick's Mom and Dad welcomed everyone to our brunch and there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
Special guests who attended the shower were:
My Mom
My Mom
Patrick's Grandmother
Aunt Pat and Uncle Tom
Patrick's college friends and their wives
Aunt Maria all the way from NY!
Aunt Helen
Patrick's brothers: Evan from DC and Marty from Philadelphia
We really had quite a full house and it was so much fun meeting new North Carolina faces at our shower. Patrick and I had the best time opening gifts despite the fact that we had to leave them behind. Although soon we'll have them in our hot little hands again. A special thank you to Jeanne, Peter and Sophia for opening up their home for our shower and to all who made it so perfect for Patrick and me. We are so lucky.
Here are a few of the 9million photos taken at the shower alone:
