wedding shower marathon

Today my two closest single girlfriends both had their bridal showers. So I got to enjoy 6 hours of delicious food and girl-talk. I have spent endless hours with both Sarah and Shannon bemoaning our singleness and how there aren't any quality guys left in the world and how we're going to end up growing old together in a nursing home one day. But it's not meant to be. Both of them met their prince-charmings, both are getting hitched in August, both are having me do their photography, both will have the initials S.S. and both had their bridal showers in the same zip code on the same day. Coincidence? Probably. But weird nonetheless.

The day started with Sarah's bridal shower thrown by the ladies I used to work with at my old job at a church and with whom Sarah currently works. These girls out-did themselves with the food and decor. Amazing!! Check out the scrumtiousness. Twinkie sushi:

And my favorite--the chocolate fountain:

The ladies made this fun hat-o-panties for Sarah to wear during the shower:

A creative gift the office ladies went in on together:

Sarah was so cute throughout her shower. Here's the many faces of Sarah. The middle shot is her being embarassed by the scandalous gifts she was getting from "church ladies":

Next I dashed over to Shannon's shower for more merriment. The food was wonderful there as well. My favorite was the bean dip and salsa from Serrano's that I love to mix together. Yummmmm..... Unfortunately by the time I got there the food had already been dug into and I was much more interested in eating the bean dip and salsa than in photographing it.

Shannon's shower was thrown by her maid of honor and mother and many close friends attended. Shannon got some great gifts. Here are some of the many faces of Shannon:
