Wedding Dreamer

By on August 30, 2011 in Details, entertaining

I love weddings and I love entertaining – so when my co-worker, Kallie, got engaged, I knew I wanted to host her shower.  I work with some wonderful people – who love to throw a party every time something good happens to people.  (They threw me the biggest SURPRISE baby shower – it was ahhhh-mazing – and I am the least surpriseable person on the planet, but they got me.)  Usually, these celebrations are hosted at our office in a spacious break room area.  However, the Dream is just one mile from said office (location! location! location!), and I figured it would be a little cozier for our Saturday afternoon affair.  So, the Dream got an orange & pink makeover and we got our bridal shower ON.  (Orange & pink are the wedding colors – and FACTOID, those were our original wedding colors until we switched to blue, white and silver – mmhmm.)  Anyway, it was lovely.

it was a funny game!

When it came time for presents…

I’ve never seen someone so genuinely overjoyed by each and EVERY gift!

Party People! Mwa, Melanie, Kallie, Melissa

Best wishes to Kallie & Ryan!  May all of your DREAMS come true.
