The Shower

When your son finds the girls of his dreams and asks her to marry him,

it's time to party...

 ...Shower Style!


My friend Mary Kay searched all over Austin for M&Ms in just the right colors for these favors.
She's crazy like that.
That's why I love her.




I made these Antipasto Skewers all by myself, with only a few skewer injuries, in honor of the honeymoon in Italy.



These kids take after my own heart and love wine, so each of us brought a bottle adorned with a tag offering some kind of marriage advice. Cute idea!



Pre-party preparation, with love.

More scenes from the shower and after-shower party at The Salt Lick.


















Once in awhile, 
right in the middle of an ordinary life,
love gives us a fairy tale.

  7. such gorgeous kids - and gorgeous moms!

    i love the idea of the tags on the wine bottles. did something similar for a baby shower once - took one of those photo 'tree' holders, had everyone fill out note cards w/ advice on babies, marriage w/ babies, etc. and put them on it for the mom-to-be.
