Confessions of a Coffee Crazie Mom: Breakfast with Bethany

So you may remember a few days ago I was talking about having our weekends crazie full, well... One of the more fun-filled and enjoyable experiences happened the last week of february/ the first weekend of March. I got to host my dear friend, Bethany's bridal shower! I got to design mostly all of the decorative pieces so I wanted to show off a little. Also I just had to gab about this beautiful bride at least a bit on here before she becomes a Mrs =)

Bethany. She is like a sister from another mother. No really, it's true. We only met a few years ago, but she and I just clicked. I remember even back when we first met, she was sipping her tea on the couch and I was listening as she told a story and for some reason, I immediately felt - we'll be doing this for years. I didn't know her too well back then, but I just felt automatically comfortable with her. Now, she could start to explain how she may feel about a situation and before she would even have to go further, I would already be there...completely with her. At every turn and detail -- as she is with me. It's encouraging. She always says: sometimes, it's like we are the same person. It's nice to have someone I could just call or email or text with all the crazie that is me, and trust that she'll know who I am and what I mean.

Anyway, now that she has Eric, I'm so excited for their future together!! Love you, Beth! I have more to say, but we'll wait for your big day!

So Miss Bethany is getting married in a month (ahhhhh!!!!!) and she deemed that I be her matron of honor (seriously. it IS an honor) and thus, I got to throw her a beautiful, well-deserved, Audrey Hepburn style bridal shower. "Breakfast with Bethany!" We got all her bridesmaids and the moms to help put pieces of it together, and some the gals in the long island area ended up being my manual labor - thanks ladies!! All in all, it turned out great! It was fun, and intimate, and just a really sweet time together.

So here are some of the pictures from the day. Just an fyi: most of them were taken before the actual party began as we were still putting on finishing touches. Either way, enjoy!
