Dresses galore and calendar marking

Last week, Caroline invited me to come to David's Bridal and meet some of the other bridesmaids. When I got there, our bridal party had pretty much taken over the back corner of the store. There was a lot of conversing and giggling going on. And I, having already ordered my dress and being the crazy camera girl that I have become, found a seat by the dressing rooms and busted out my camera to snap some shots of the girls figuring out which dress fit them best.

Marilyn? Is that you?
I can tell Blair is a fun person-- can't you?



Perfecto! She found her dress.


The bride talking to her 'maids and matrons

Caroline, Ashley, and I went for a cup of coffee at Barnes and Noble after figuring out the dress situation. Three hours later, we got around to talking about bridal shower plans and dates for various events.

The date for the bridal shower is July 10 (that means get a move on, 'maids). It's going to be held at Caroline's church, which conveniently for me, is right at the end of my parents' road. My mother doesn't know it yet, but her fridge will be full of finger foods that weekend. I think we are going to do a mixture of dips, desserts, and maybe some cheese? Still working on the food. We WILL have s w e e t t e a, though. It ain't a southern party without the tea.

C-line is considering making the shower a co-ed deal, so the theme and decorations have not yet been decided on. Not to worry, though-- I'll share the details as soon as I know what we are doing.

Ashley and I were also told that we are having a bridal luncheon on September 25. I had to ask Caroline what the heck a bridal luncheon was, as I was getting slightly nervous that I was in charge of planning another event (my brain is scattered as it is). But apparently, this party is in honor of ME (and the seven other lovely ladies that will be beside me). Presents!!! **I'm just hoping Mrs. Long will bake one of her fantastic cakes.

Slowly but surely whittling down the to-do list...
