My grandma threw me my very first, and fabulous, 'bridal' shower over the weekend in LA. We started the weekend with a night of wine and catching up. Two of my closest friends flew in from DC and Denver, and two who live near LA drove in for the weekend. We started Saturday off on a wonderful hike in Topanga Canyon, followed by a long lunch where we saw Ben Affleck, no big deal. We were all a bit starstruck, to say the least.
The shower started at 4 and my grandma planned a surprise boat cruise in the Marina on the exact same boat that my mom had her bridal shower on almost 30 years ago. We had champagne and appetizers and cruised around the Marina all night. We played an embarrassing game, opened a few gifts and then drank plenty more champagne. It was such a beautiful night - I really didn't want it to end. It was incredible getting to spend time with family who I rarely see and a few of my grandma's close friends. And of course my lady friends; it feels like no matter how much time passes between visits, we never miss a beat with each other. I feel overwhelmingly blessed and celebrated. Thank you to everyone who was apart of the weekend. And happy Tuesday!
