Jenny's Getting Married {shower edition}

over the weekend, my childhood best friend, Anna, and I threw a bridal shower for our other childhood best friend, Jenny. Jenny and Josh are getting married in July, but Josh lives out of state and we (anna) really wanted him to be at the shower, so we threw it while he was visiting for spring break (he's finishing up a masters and then will be MOVING TO CALIFORNIA! YAY!). the shower turned out lovely and it was WONDERFUL being able to celebrate Jenny together. anna and i hosted the "church shower" but it was anything but the average bring a pot dinner (thanks for that line michael kohrs). we had a wide range of DELICIOUS homemade desserts, freshly brewed coffee, iced tea, and fresh squeezed lemonade (anna squeezed a TON of lemons!). it was simple but still elegant with a touch of fun. the theme was black and white with accents in pink. all the desserts went onto one large circular table and drinks were served in the kitchen. we aren't HUGE lovers of shower games, so we had josh and jenny play the "newlywed game" and answer questions, sickeningly enough, they got them 100% correct. they are SO ready for marriage! :) ha! (actually, they've been enduring the long-distance relationship for so long that they've probably had phone conversations about just about everything!) we also had a devotion and time of prayer, and OF COURSE gifts!!! it really was a fabulous afternoon.6 of the 12 bridesmaids were able to come too...which was really fun...i can only imagine the BLAST we're going to have when we're all 12 together! AHHHhhhhhhh!!
