It was a big weekend! My sister Katie drove in from Chicago and with the help of my mom, younger sister Megan, and Dad hosted my wedding shower. It was a lovely afternoon - the weather was great and a lot of people were able to come. It was nice that my aunts and grandma traveled 4 hours to be there as well as Joe's mom and his family came about an hour from the New Castle area as well.
Everything was very well planned - after everyone had arrived, Katie had organized an ice breaker for people to get to know one another. Everyone split up into 4 groups and had to use toilet paper, yarn, tissue paper and tape to make a wedding dress - my grandma and I were the judges. It seemed like it went over well with all. After that we ate some lunch and as we finished, Katie handed out note cards and the guests quizzed me on how well I knew Joe - I think I did okay. Joe was here to enjoy these festivities as well. Lastly, Joe and I opened many gifts which were all wonderful! It's so exciting to get new things, especially when we can put these new things in our new house soon!
As things wrapped up, Katie told me I needed to get ready because they were taking me "somewhere." I was nervous since I generally like to know what's going on and I had no idea what they had in store for me. After saying goodbye, my bridesmaids (Katie, Megan, Suzi, Dorann and Vas) got into cars and headed "somewhere." That somewhere ended up being the Embassy Suites in downtown Cleveland. They had organized a masseuse to come to give us all some spa treatment (facials, massages and pedicures). It was very relaxing. Afterwards, we went to dinner at a wine bar in Ohio City and then went to another bar on West 6th Street.
It was a great weekend and the only downside is that it went so fast!
