so i went to my first bridal shower this weekend, i mean my first held in my honor. Now i know why i always hated having birthday parties for myself…opening presents in front of a bunch of people is pretty embarrassing…got lots of neat stuff though. Including a picture of my great great grandma, and a pic of my great gandfather…i found out some interesting facts that i never knew about my family history such as that half of my relatives don't spell their last name that same way my grandparents do…all because of a divorce somewhere along the line. Anyway, to my suprise, our wedding guest list got considerably longer…there was a lot of people coming up to me and saying, well, i am going to be at your wedding for sure…oops…people who weren't even on the list. CRAP. I am crossing my fingers that a lot of them will wuss out when it comes down to driving the 5 hours over here in the middle of January. the place where we are having our reception is not big enough for this many people, and of course this is precisely the kind of wedding that EVERYONE shows up to. heh…should be interesting.
