Kirsten's Bridal shower!

Today was a great day to celebrate such a special time in our family!

This evening was such a blast  as we held Kirsten's Bridal Shower at house! My aunt Barb and Kay from my dad's side of the family and Aunt Kris (Mom's sister) were able to make it and as well as both my grandmas! It was great to see them and to get together again with Mari-Jo as she has been such a great family friend for what seems like forever! Once Kirsten's family arrived the festivities began!
We started out playing a ridiculously hard game of "Celebrety couples" but the truth is... they were all old celebrity couples! haha So the older people in the group took the prize on that one! the next one was a "how well do you know the Bride and Groom" quiz. That was so good and suprisingly the bride did not win! It was her sister Katherine (Maid of Honor) that pulled away with the prize!

The funniest game by far was the last one in which we were instructed to give advice to Kirsten using the letters of her name.
It was such a great idea and if you know me... and my relationship with Elliot and Kirsten you would know that I couldn't just give them serious marriage advice. so I came up with my own and ended up pulling away with the winner for "I". "'I'f you ever feel like laughing really hard or you are upset with Elliot when he says "I love you" you reply "I love YouTube" really fast and it sounds exactly like "I love you too".
Haha it is a proven fact that it works! My other one's were far from serious and when she was suppose to guess whose advice was whose... she always guessed mine because i would start laughing long before they finished reading what i had written! :)

I was such a great time tonight spent with my family and friends! The wedding is July 7th, which we learned is exactly 7 weeks from today (5-19-12). It was the perfect placement of days for a wedding on 7-7 :)

I am getting more and more excited that we will be joining families in a little over a month and a half! :)
