My loffly, you did SO WELL! No one could tell at all that you were nervous (I only knew because you said so!). And, I think bridal showers are far worse than weddings for attention placed on you (unless the bride is the type of person who wants to make sure all of the focus is on her at the wedding, then it's a different story...) because it's a huge group of women fawning all over the bride-to-be and they don't have anywhere else to really put their attention. Whereas, for the wedding you're just eating and partying, there's loud music, etc... and so many people to talk to eachother and not pay attention to you! haha. If you guys are doing dancing, that's the only time people are looking at you (and they've eaten and will have been drinking for a few hours already so they'll probably at the very least have a buzz/be drunk). lol

Okay, overuse of parentheses... Sorry! In conclusion, you did great! Try to relax and think of warm weather and the beach! WOO!!

I was just thinking of this... I'm sorry my mama and I didn't get anything off the registry!!! We didn't think you had ever made one, and then she found out from your Aunt Pam at the shower and we felt bad.

I'm now looking at all of your fun things you have on the Target registry. By the way, I look forward to future espresso/fondue parties! haha. :P

bwaha! don't be silly. i just made that to avoid horrible shower gifts that i would have no idea what to do with. your gift was ten times better and neater than anything on that registry.

Oh! I'm sorry I wasn't there for moral support. I will be at your wedding reception though! (I will be coming late--I got them to let me work from 330-730, so I guess from Hershey to there will be 20 minutes?)
