Surprise bridal shower from my family!
Everyone loves Cindy. My family wanted to do something special for her & our big day. Since our festivities are going to be celebrated in the small scale, there isn’t much to plan. A bachelorette party is out of the question, which left us the only option: a bridal shower. Mind you, planning a small get-together in our family is a huge feat, but we managed to plan it without getting out of hand & overwhelming Cindy.
To keep it a surprise, we planned it on Mother’s Day to catch her off guard. She isn’t too thrilled with the idea of surprise parties, or even having so much attention focused on her (hence the small wedding ceremony), but my family did their best in planning to keep her comfortable.
Thank you to all who organized it all! From what I understood, my sister, mom, cousins did a lot to contribute! My sister & cousins organized all the activities, my mom & auntie provided the good food, & my Auntie Remy provided the venue & the gorgeous backyard with the blooming flowers. Allergies are always a threat, but you otherwise can’t go wrong spending a Sunday afternoon underneath a cool tree with wonderful weather.
Thank you to everyone who brought gifts! Many useful things for Cindy & some good stuff for myself!
Wow…the wedding is less than two weeks away! A lot of stuff still needs to be done! The both of us greatly appreciate everyone’s assistance & help. We can’t wait!
Additional notes from cnaks: Just to reiterate everything that Juice said, Thank you everyone for everything! I/we really appreciate it. As much as I dislike surprises and all the attention, I really do appreciate everything you’ve done to make us feel special and to make our special day go smoothly. After 5 years, I am finally getting used to having a big family and all the great things that come along with it. Looking forward to seeing the whole Sagabaen clan on the 23rd!

awww it was fun!
like we said… it couldve been worse, but it was just perfect (minus the allergies, LOL).
