Everyone Cried Except The Bride!
January 30th, 2008 @ 12:30 pm by Mrs. Onion
Before I got dressed to meet Mr. Onion for pictures, I took some time out to give my best friends and bridesmaids their gifts. Their presents were one of the first things I blogged about on the bee. I was so excited to see their reaction and I fully expected water works from all of us. It began, but no tears from the bride!
Here they are reading the mushy cards I wrote. Notice I got more use from my OOT welcome bags that I used to wrap the girls’ gifts!
And the tears begin…
Two of the three Lill 1154 Studio make-up cases I made for them. You get to pick your own fabric and bag (so many styles to choose from) — I’d highly recommend them for your bridesmaids or yourself. (See Miss Penguin’s recent post about her Lill 1154 Studio Party). Look — they even match their shirts — how well do I know my girls, huh?!
This was a huge winner — pearl earrings to wear with their bridesmaids dresses. They all LOVED them and swore they’d wear them again (I sure hope so — I wish I’d gotten myself a pair). From Dasha Boutique — see their wedding jewelry here.

Reacting to the “tip toes” from foot petals I got so their BM shoes would be more comfortable.
I love this photo — so much love!
All this emotion and nothing but smiles and calm from this bride. So strange because I’m usually a little wound up and cry at EVERY episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. When one of my bridesmaids saw that I was all smiles and no tears she said “you haven’t cried at ALL this weekend?!” She couldn’t believe it! Calm and collected — that was me! Or at least that’s what I thought — more to come

What nice gifts! And I love that you have pictures of it too! I gave my BMs their gifts at my bridesmaids luncheon…and so far, no pics of that event. Oh well!
I love that picture of the group hug! I better get one of those… very nice gifts, too.
I’m really glad I gave them their gifts while our photographer was with us. It was nice to relive this moment.
Our videographer got this footage too, so I got to hear myself scold one bridesmaid when she thinks the foot petals are nipple covers (use your imagination here) and I said “young lady — they are for your feet!” It was pretty funny and now forever recorded on video!
Aww- their reactions are so cute! And I love that last photo, it’s so sweet.

About Me: I didn't think I'd be "that girl," but I am having so much fun planning our wedding (mostly by myself). I'm a PR and Marketing Director for a major jazz festival and camp by day, and by night, a romantic jazz singer and bride-to-be! I hope all my research can help other brides in their planning.
Ohhh, how awesome that you got pix of this moment!! We gave our presents at the rehearsal dinner, so no fun pix like these =)
