Surprise Bridal Shower!!!

My bridal shower was Saturday and was absolutely fabulous!!!!  My bridesmaids had FI in on the plans as his job was to get me there.  So, FI and finalized our cake design Saturday morning (YAY....soooo excited, buit I did have a Bridezilla moment in the bakery...LOL) and then went to purchase my mother's earrings for the wedding.  I then requested to go to two other stores and he refused and then conveniently missed the exit!!  Our original plans, so I thought, were to go to lunch at one of our fav restaurants...well, he ended up taking me to a lovely quaint restaurant and told me to ask for Amy.  I was directed to the private dining room where family and friends were waiting!!! The room was gorgeous, e-photos were framed, they set up a recipe box for guests to complete for the bride to be (me!!! YAY) and a box to place "moments you don't want Vickey to forget" and lastly, a mini photoalbum that was used to place "Advice for the Bride to be". 

FI stayed to eat, chat, have a drink and left before the festivities.  I was given lots of lingerie, gift cards, and monetary gifts!!!  Everything was lovely, FI and I talked about it all night!!! 

Wedding day is almost here!!!!

    Thx ladies!

    @RaganW- Bridezilla moment started when I asked the associate at the bakery for the color swatch for the icing.  She sat there and showed me MY swatch for the BMs.  I then explained to her that she shpowed us the card with various icing colors duing our first appointment and she gave me the crazy look.  Anywho, she keeps with the dumb stuff and then FI shoots down every cake design I suggest.  So, I snapped at told him I'm leaving, do what you want, I don't care.  I ended up sitting down, arms crossed, while we met with the owner of the bakery.  This woman then looks at me like I'm nuts because I don't know what type of flowers are being used.  Well, after explaining to her that I am not a horticulturalist and flowers were selected months ago, I must have gave her a look that changed the discussion.  End result, cake design will look the way be both want and the Bridezilla is put away...for now:)
