Audrey's Shower

Today Melissa and I threw a bridal shower for Audrey. She and Wes (Matt’s old roommate) are getting married at the end of September. Of course I have to mention the food… it was a 10 AM brunch shower, so we had two kinds of quiche (spinach mushroom quiche with boursin—secret ingredient—and mozzarella and a bacon asparagus quiche with cheddar and swiss), cinnabon mini muffins from Costco, fruit salad, mimosas, and coffee. The shower was really fun… we played game, asked Audrey some questions which Wes had answered, and opened gifts. I was thinking during the shower about how each couple has “their story,” ya know? I love hearing how couples first met and how they ended up together… it’s always fun to see the bride’s (or wife’s) eyes light up as they begin to gush about the first time they met their husband, or the first few weeks of dating. I think it’s good, too, for wives to always remember how excited they felt when they first met their husband (and vice versa)—and how much they really wanted him to like her, marry her, etc. There’s my infinite, 6-month marriage wisdom. :) Anyway, the shower was a blast, and I’m super excited for Wes and Audrey’s wedding!
