Showered!

Showered!

This weekend was not only my first wedding shower for myself but the first wedding shower that I have ever attended! Surprising right?! I have been in a lot of weddings, but living far from North Carolina I have never been able to attend the showers.

(Mr. AC’s mom arranged for our name to be on the church marquee, it was SOOO cool seeing our name up there)

I must admit that I was a little nervous. I am not a very “girly girl” and I don’t really like being the center of attention, but I embraced it and it was super fun!

Mr. Apple Cider’s mom threw the shower and it had a “love birds” theme… much like our invitations. The shower was in Mr. AC’s hometown in West Virginia and my mom and sister drove up from North Carolina. It was so wonderful having them there. My sister stepped right into the MOH role and I was so relieved to have her there.

The shower was adorable. There were cute balloons and birds everywhere. We played fun games, ate yummy food and had some delicious cake… with our picture on it!

We opened lots of presents and were so excited to get fun things for our new apartment.

It was really special to be surrounded by women that saw Mr. AC grow up. The love for him and his family was evident. I was glad that my mom and sister could see that.

(Mr. AC’s sweet grandmother who is almost 90 made the trip for the shower!)

Did your FI attend any of your showers? Did he help ease your nervousness?

My hubby didn’t actually attend the shower, but he showed up near the end to say hello and thanks to everyone, then packed up his truck with all our gifts and they even overflowed into my aunt’s car! I love the decor of your shower, it’s super cute!

Mr. DE showed up with about 30 minutes left. (this was planned) He didn’t help me open the rest of the presents, though. He sat with his family, enjoyed some cake and let me tease him as I was busting ribbons left and right.

Love the colors/bird theme. Is that a necklace or part of your dress? I like it!

What adorable decorations and cake!

My FI showed up for the shower in time for opening p resents, because in all honesty, that part had me in full panic mode. Sitting in the middle of the room, opening presents from people I hardly ever see (my mom’s friends) was more than awkward. So my mom said that my FI could come at that point and sit with me, which made me feel SO much better!
