Guys, I had the most wonderful weekend!

My bridal shower was so lovely I nearly cried.

It was hosted by three of my mom’s close friends, who have watched me grow up:)

They prepared a beautiful spread of food, sangria, and pear punch!

Everything was delicious, but I think these bacon-wrapped pears stole my heart.

Although everyone knows cake is my true love.

Strawberry in the middle!

I think my favorite part of the shower was a newly-wed game that the hosts had put together with Matt’s input. I did pretty well, but was stumped on a few of the questions.

Opening gifts was pretty fun too!

China from my mom!

I hope the guests had fun too – I think Mazen loved being around so many ladies…

The shower was only the highlight of the weekend – I also got to spend tons of quality time with family and friends. I’m sad it’s all over, but so thankful to the hosts for such a sweet shower.
