Laughter, Ladies and Love Actually


So this is a slightly delayed post, but two weekends ago was my dear friend Mel's bridal shower! That weekend was filled with her infectious laugh and overall carefree spirit. Mel has the ability to make anyone around her feel at ease in there own skin, she is a great friend! Her bridal shower started off with staying up so late watching love actually that I thought I was going to fall over...chatting about all the stepping stones that one takes on the way to true love, laughing about middle school boyfriends and reveling in the thought that we have grown so much that its the time in our lives where we are getting married, buying houses and having children. Time passes to quickly...try not to blink! The following day was filled with shopping and spending time with Mel's family! The bridal shower was that evening so we got all dolled up and made Mel close her eyes as I tried to navigate my way to downtown Wilmington! The bridal shower was amazing! Mel's bridesmaids did a fantastic job! There were all these amazing little details...like flags with an M on them and homemade flower arrangement! It was beautiful! The bridal shower was held at a little bon bon shop where we learned to make our very own bon bons! Mel opened all of her amazing presents and then we played some unique and funny bridal shower games. The bon bon making was like heaven...just imagine eating brownies covered in fudge for a couple hours! That evening we went out to dinner and I enjoy the laughter the most. I don't think I had laughed that hard in a long time! But now that I think about it I usually have some pretty good laughs with Mel! We ate and drank our way through appetizers, dinner and dessert and promptly went home and fell asleep! The weekend passed by in a flash! I got up the next morning and went for a run on Wrightsville Beach (which I miss doing terribly) and got in my car and drove home. It was a great weekend, one of many! Can't wait for the bachelorette party in a few weeks!
