Mrs. Turtle's Picture
Mrs. Turtle, Central California Age and Occupation: 21, Art Student/Teacher Fiance's Age and Occupation: 22, English Student Engagement Date: August 16, 2008 Wedding Date: July 2010 Venue: Mr. Turtle's Grandparents' backyard, Arroyo Grande, CA About Me: I am a California girl who loves the beach and the mountains, but is quite satisfied living right in the middle where I can enjoy the best of both worlds. I am happiest when traveling to faraway places, wandering through museums, watching old movies, or baking up a storm. Mr. Turtle and I are high school sweethearts and fellow book nerds who both drive Mini Coopers and are most likely to be found browsing in antique stores. We're having so much fun planning our European garden wedding with a vintage twist and can't wait to share more of life's adventures together!
About Mrs. Turtle

After all the fun I had and presents I received at my first bridal shower, it was hard to believe that I had another one to attend on June fifth! FMIL Turtle and Grammy Turtle hosted this one at FMIL & FFIL Turtle’s home. I had such a wonderful time getting to know Mr. Turtle’s side of the family and their friends better and felt so blessed by them.

Mr. Turtle joined us for a little bit to introduce me to his family and friends as they entered.

He also helped his mom (shower hostess) to set the tables up and pick up the cake and centerpieces.

The tables looked beautiful! FMIL Turtle and Grammy Turtle shared their fabulous collections of dishes, glassware, and silverware. FMIL Turtle even surprised me by buying up a few sets of the Pottery Barn napkin rings we’re registered for and gifting them to me after the shower!

One of my favorite parts was the amazingly gorgeous and delicious cake! See all that pink? The stuff that looks like fondant? Well it’s actually white chocolate! The aesthetic appeal of fondant, but with the delicious taste of melt in your mouth chocolate! Genius!! (This cake also taught me that I need to practice my cake cutting skills before the wedding. It’s harder than it looks!)

I received so many beautiful gifts and had such a wonderful time at both of my bridal showers.

where are your brown shoes from? I love them!

Also, the cake is pretty. Do you know how they got the white chocolate to look like that? Is it buttercream frosting?

Thanks everyone! For anyone who’s interested, my dress was just a cheap $35 find, on sale at Macy’s. The belt is from J. Crew. It would be just as cute on any white dress! I wore it to both of my showers! The shoes are brand by Nine West. I’m glad you all love the cake as much as I did! :)
