The Bridal Shower

My daughter's bridal shower was this past Saturday, May 14th, 2011. It could not have gone more beautifully. She looked so happy and radiant! The glowing bride to be was in awe of all her gifts which took two long hours to open (we had to tell her open all the cards later at home as we began to get tired of watching her and knew she needed a break:).

Here are some pictures of that day:

 Someone is embarrassed but every bride needs her pretty night gown for the honeymooon (wink-wink)
