Had the brides side shower yesterday in Joliet, hosted by Aunt Deb. It was really lovely... and really big. We know a lot of women! :)
Louie's definitely knows how to make good food, and Aunt Deb had some really nice baskets as prizes filled with girly spa-type stuff. It was so so so nice to see everyone, especially a lot of people I hadn't seen since my dad's funeral last year. It was definitely nice to see them on a decidedly more happy occasion. People were really generous in their gifts, as well, I could hardly believe it. Matt and I are going to start off our new life together in style!!!
On another note, we officially completed (and passed!) our pre-marital counseling with Pastor Dave this weekend. It was much less stressful than we originally were afraid it may be. Thank goodness he is still willing to marry us!
