Lemon Showers

So I am doing this blog a little backwards, but it is my blog so I can do what I want right? I know I skipped over a ton of important details and events leading up to the wedding. One of them that I must share with you is my AAAAAAmazing bridal shower. I am not kidding it was unreal. My bridesmaids and Mom did an outstanding job. The place was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the details were incredible. We all know what my new last name is. Lemon. Yes, just like the fruit. So my bridesmaids decided to go with a lemon themed shower.

It was at Trattoria Giuseppe's in this big room. All of my closest family and friends were there. My sister in law even made a lemonade stand as a wishing well.

I will not blab any more,  I will just get on to the good stuff and show you some pictures!

I can go on and on about how wonderful it was but really I just want to thank my wonderful bridesmaids and mom. They put their heart and soul into the shower and made it so special for me right down to the lemon drops on every plate. I cannot imagine the time and money they spent but they were happy to do it. That is why I am the luckiest girl in the world. I have these people in my corner. They are there for me no matter what. At the end of the day, it isn't about lemon drops or mason jars, it is about who is standing beside you. I am so blessed to have these wonderful women standing beside me throughout this roller coaster ride called life. 

Update: Wedding & Honeymoon 1 Year Late!

So it has been some time since I have blogged. I kinda stopped leading up to the wedding. Life got crazy and I had a crap ton of things to get done for the wedding that I did not have time to blog about it! Don't worry, there was still a wedding and it was absolutely beautiful! We have been married for a little over a year now. It was truly the best day of my life.

For our honeymoon we went to Nassau, Bahamas and stayed at an amazing resort. The water was crystal clear, the sand was white, and the drinks were cold. We relaxed by the pool and on the private island almost everyday. We went into the city and did some shopping. We also swam with the Dolphins. We had a wonderful time and cannot wait to go back one day. 

Married life has been great. Not much has changed which I guess is a good thing. We celebrated our 1 year anniversary on Easter. We went back to The Desmond and stayed over night. We went out to eat and had some drinks. We did miss our puppies though! We got up early and celebrated Easter with our families. And YES we did eat our cake from our wedding day. It wasn't awful but lets just say, I wasn't anxious to have another slice!  It was a wonderful way to spend our anniversary weekend. 

Tom got me a beautiful necklace! I got him an UP card and tickets to the Phillies (paper)

Our cake and Easter Day Fun! 

And before I go, here is one more picture just because they are so darn cute!
