Some Pix from the Shower

(No, not that kind of shower. No pictures of 10 wet girls.)
We had an amazing time at the bridal shower. Food was drop-dead delicious. Spa treatment was to die for. Friends around me made me feel like I DID die and go to heaven. As always, rest mouse pointer over photos for captions.
Lunch at 230 Forest Avenue Restaurant & Bar, patio seating:
From Anny’s camera
Anny’s so petite she makes my arm look huge. *sideglance*
From MOH Vicky’s camera
Dinner at the Ritz Carlton’s Restaurant 162′:
Vicky ordered a bottle of my favorite wine, Caymus Vineyard’s “Conundrum”. It was a hit.
Gee. Can you tell these girls were drinking?
I’d just like to point out that I’m not as red as Vicky is here from the wine. =)
Vanessa’s card said to be careful what you wish for on a blog cuz you just might get it…
Lily got me this swanky slinky strategically-placed alternating striped nightie. Mr. W loves it.
In addition to what’s pictured above, Vanessa’s gift collection included a couples massage how-to kit complete with photograph illustrative cards. Very Mr. W. Anny got me a gorgeous silky white chemise with a matching g-string, and a great black tanktop with bling on the front that says in fancy script “Mrs. [Mr. W’s last name], Est. [wedding date]”. Insanely cute. Vicky got me the entire event and dinner for everyone. I didn’t get my wish of finally getting all my bridal party together, tho…bridesmaid Sandy called me that morning in a panic saying she woke up and her right eye was swollen shut. Turned out when her physician father examined her later on in the morning that she had four spider bites on her eyelid. Eek! She stayed out of the public eye and sat at home icing it and taking antihistamines. Gym Trainee was a no-show to dinner and when I called her she didn’t pick up; turned out she somehow thought dinner was canceled. EH??? Oh well. We all had a blast, though. I think the chemistry at the tables were good, so it all worked out. Diana flew down for lunch and after our massage session at the Ritz, she and I hung out with Lily and Vanessa poolside at the Ritz as Vicky got her pedicure session, and then flew back home to NorCal before dinner. Even tho her visit was short, we all enjoyed her presence, especially the guy at the spa check-out counter, who asked me when I was checking out what Diana did for a living. He was surprised to find she’s not a bodybuilder or Olympic competitor by profession, because “that girl has the most well-toned body I’d ever seen in my LIFE!” he exclaimed. *high-five Diana*
I had a great time. It was classy, low-key, and PRIVATE. Thanks, Vicky! There are more photos on Vanessa‘s camera, if she emails them to me I’ll post them if she doesn’t.
woot woot. we’re online celebrities now.
Hey, I thought we always WERE. 🙂
You know what I think when I see these pictures? “Shoulda worn lipstick.”
I had a good time and sitting my the pool was so relaxing! The sunset was a nice touch and you and your friends were the icing on the cake! I think it’s funny that we ended the night talking on the sofas in the lady’s room. We are little chatty cathys.
…Oh and there is still time to experience midget strippers! Haha!
Ooh! Midget strippers!
j/k
ok friggin hilarious cuz i’m looking at these pics again and i notice the one where ur unwrapping the edible bras or whatever, and vicky is so not into it and is texting or something. LOLLLLL
ahhhh…i didn’t bring a present. i guess i can rely on the excuse that i have never been to a bridal shower, although it should have been pretty obvious. but honestly, i didn’t even think about it. 🙁 sorry!
What a fabulous time that I missed out on!
I’ll pass on the midget strippers though 🙂
Never thought I’d be saying this in a looong time…
but..
SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!!
I don’t know what I was doing on that photo of Cindy with the edible bra. I think I was checking my blackberry for a work email… Terrible hostess, I know.
Vanessa – When 5-star hotels have such fancy bathroom lobbies so conducive to conversation, they should EXPECT that people would hang out there and chat.
Vicky – I’m trying to remember what I said about midget strippers. Did I express a desire to have one or something?
Anny – Vicky was feigning ignorance and hence innocence. But we know better! Haha!
diana – But you FLEW all the way out from San Jose for HALF a DAY! You did a lot!
Jordan – YAY! See you in…*counting on fingers*…5 days! WHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! That reminds me, you gotta email me your flight itinerary so I know when/where to pick you up.
Vicky – I think by the flush on your cheeks, it was obvious your judgment was impaired due to some intoxicating substance, so I’m sure you weren’t yourself. 🙂
Did you lose it the two times I sent it to you?!!
I think I arrive around 2:30 pm..
Long Beach
Thursday.
THIS Thursday.
Thanks to the sun and my careless disregard for sunscreen, I’ll be the one looking older than I did last time you saw me.
Now it’s on your blog. haha
Everyone is beautiful in these pics…Anny looks like she could be a movie star!!What a wonderful pre-wedding party!!!
Jordan – Uh…okay, I’ll look it up in my email and see if it’s there. For Thursday. THIS Thursday. 🙂 Our mom is looking forward to meeting you. And, and, *I* look older than the last time you saw me too, cuz it’s BEEN 3 years, silly!
Flat Coke – You’re so nice! Most people there weren’t even wearing much (or any) makeup, either; you should see what they look like dolled up. And sometimes I look at my ridiculously hot friends and think, “What the hell am I doing?! I should hang w/ugly people so I look better.” haha, j/k
