This has been such a crazy week packed full of wedding planning – we’re finalizing all the details and scrambling to get everything done. But last weekend, I got to fly back home to Dallas for my bridal shower. What a wonderful chance to enjoy being engaged without the stress of coordinating!

A long-time family friend of Matthew’s threw me the sweetest bridal shower, inviting all our (female) family and friends from both sides. Not to sound too corny, but it was just a beautiful, casual afternoon of laughter, presents, sweets and love.
