My mom had told me that since my MOH lives across the country I would not be getting a bridal shower. That hurt. Not the fact that I wouldn't be having a shower, it was the way my mom said it, "well, looks like you don't get a shower then." Flash forward about 4 months. My MOH and all time best friend informed me that she has been in cahoots with my two other bridesmaids and my FMIL and they are all throwing me a shower. I am completely overcome with love for these women. Unfortunately, my MOH will not be able to attend, but honestly I think that makes it more special. She is willing to make me happy even if she can't physically be there to take part in the festivities. I would have been fine without a shower(I don't need the extra presents-but they are a perk) but I did want some sort of get together or something. My mom has been such a pain throughout this whole process, constantly raining on my parade. I am very thankful to have my FI, friends, and future in-laws.
