I recently had my first bridal shower. Going into it, I was excited but slightly nervous. I am not one to be the center of attention, and knowing that people would obviously be looking at me a lot was a little overwhelming. (Just imagine what I’ll be like before the wedding! Haha.) However, once I arrived at the shower, I had the best time.

My aunt did an amazing job decorating and setting everything up in her beautiful home.

Perhaps one of my favorite parts about this whole process is the opportunities that weddings create for quality time with those you love. And if you remember my post on the Five Love Languages, you’ll know that I am big on quality time. It was so fun to see my extended family and close family friends.

How cute is our flower girl?

One of the more humorous parts of the shower was the question game. You know the game—the one where they ask the groom a bunch of questions ahead of time and then you have to guess his answers? Well, Mr. Ducky and I have always joked that we’d be horrible on any sort of Newlywed game show, because he has no real absolute favorites, so questions about him tend to be difficult. Sure enough, that was the game at our shower, and for each wrong answer I had to put gum in my mouth. I got all the relationship questions right, but when it came to his favorites, it was a tad difficult. Even my Aunt said that when she talked to Mr. Ducky, he wasn’t sure what to answer. Something like a favorite band/artist changes weekly depending on what mood he is in. We aren’t entering a game show anytime soon. Here is the result of me getting so many questions wrong… sorry for the graphic and terribly unflattering picture! But now you can see how many wrong answers I had!

All of the food was delicious! Look at this fruit! Something about fresh fruit is so amazingly delicious.

My mom made a beautiful ribbon bouquet from all the gifts. Have you ever heard of the tradition that for every ribbon you break, it results in a future kid? Mr. Ducky was very concerned about this tradition.

Look at the hilarious favors my Aunt made! Kitchen gloves with some bling and nail polish! Mr. Ducky says they creep him out, but they make me laugh.

It was such a special time and I was so thankful for the generosity of everyone there. I regret that I didn’t take more pictures to share, but I guess I know for next time, right?
