I would like to submit an entry!

So I sent out my Maid of Honor and Honorary Bridesmaid Cards about a week ago, and they all responded very enthusiastically with phone calls and the like. I was all happy and thought that was the end of it.

Then. A couple days ago, I got literally the sweetest card ever from my maid of honor in the mail!!! And that made me cry a lot. People, it was awesome. I was like “Wow, not only was everyone really nice and excited and enthusiastic for me, but I also go this fabulous card! Now that’s got to be the end of it.”

But then. Yesterday (which was coincidentally Mr. Bluebell and my 4 year dating anniversary - the last time we’ll ever celebrate this one before getting married!), I got this weird bulky package in my mailbox and could not for the life of me figure out what it could be. I hadn’t ordered anything and it seemed too randomly big and smooshy to be a free gift. Turns out, it was from one of my honorary bridesmaids, who just happens to be the most awesome person in all of creation.

LOOK WHAT WAS IN THE PACKAGE!!!!!!!

And she did all the applique-ing herself!!!

So yeah, point of this post:

a) My friends rock.

b) My favorite side effect of getting married is how you have a nice excuse to be all gushy with your friends about how much you love them! Because it would be a bit random to mail your friends cards about how awesome they are on a totally arbitrary day, but now we have this great excuse and it just makes everyone happy!

Have your friends surprised you with anything awesome since you’ve gotten engaged? Is your engagement period providing many other unexpected surprises?

[I used the word "awesome" four times in this post. I am quite embarrassed.]
