Best bridal shower present...

It wasn't something new, something off my registry, or even something useful. 

My mom made a scrapbook for me for the wedding (from proposal through moving to our first place together after the wedding) which is awesome by itself (my mother is NOT a scrapbooker and she did a great job.)  The best part of the whole thing was this picture she sent with (she lives in AZ and isn't coming up until closer to the reception):



Me circa 1984 (age 6) dressed as a bride for Halloween (I wasn't a pudgy kid...I live in Wisconsin and she layered me up in sweatshirts under my costume because it was cold.)

I was a cute little kid, dang it...

Aww! I was a bride for like 4 halloweens in a row. Obsessed little girl.

That is so cute!  My mom would have made me wear a coat over it, which would have pissed me off for the entire trick-or-treating.  You look adorable!

P.S.  T-or-t'ing was always on the Sunday closest to Halloween, in the middle of the afternoon, in the Milwaukee suburb where I grew up (New Berlin).  Lame.  Where did you grow up?

OWN-Born and raised in Kenosha (now living in Milwaukee just north of Tosa until after the wedding.)  T-or-Ting was at about 5ish when I was little (I remember it being dark), but once I hit about 4th grade they changed it to 1 or 2 in the afternoon.  Agreed, lame.

ha! My mom did that for me, (must be a mom thing)

She's finishing it up and I had to take a picture of my ring today for it.  We laid it on my dress so it looks legit :-P

That is such a sweet idea! I hope my Mom does something like that for my shower
