My Bridal Shower!

I haven't been able to blog much before and immediately after the wedding because there were LOTS of things that needed taking care of. I want to start posting about the events that took place before, during, and after (if I don't get lazy).

Three nights prior to the wedding, my sweet cousin, Ymae threw me a surprise bridal shower! Well, it was a not-so-surprise but still-a-surprise shower party. 

First, I didn't know my cousin would throw it for me, since my grandma told me a month before that my mom was gonna throw me a shower party [which my mom vehemently denied]. 

Second, my grandma also informed me that the Bath & Body Works giveaways for the "shower" have already been bought [but she took it back later on, too late :)].

Third, because I didn't know Ymae was arriving that day. She told me she was arriving the next day. Although people "slipped" a couple of times that day that she's already in Zamboanga. "Ay, hindi pala!"

Fourth, Someone once left stickers saying "Mariben's Shower" lying somewhere in our house. Someone must have realized it because it disappeared after about 15 minutes. :)

Fifth, I thought they were driving me away from the house that day so that they can start decorating our house for the party (such a feeler). So I was genuinely surprised when we got to the SPA and I found out the shower was being held there. 

Sixth, I was surprised that there were no male strippers, at all. Hahahah. 

Thank you, Ymae for the wonderful shower party! I loved how you and Ching decorated the Spa! I am so glad that grandma refused to lend you her underwear otherwise it would have filled up the entire wall.  ;) 

Thank you for all the fun games! I know you loved the planning part of this, you are a born party planner! Hey, let's just open up and events planning business! Heheh. But really, I would have welcomed male stripperS, too. Okay, even just one would have been great! Heheheh! 

Thank you, because you gave me a chance to touch base with some of my friends whom I haven't been able to talk to for quite some time since I was too busy with the Wplanning. :(

Thank you, because I received A LOT of presents during the party. LOTS and lots of lingerie! 

Thank you, for the body scrub after the party. Although I almost panicked when I saw I grew rashes on my chest and shoulder. Thankfully, it disappeared after a few minutes! 

Thank you, thank you! Oh, and did I ever tell you I love you?! I'm lucky to have such a wonderful and sweet cousin. 

You are the exception to my previous "emotionally engaged" blog. 

Lastly, there WILL BE male strippers in your bachelorette party. Even if our parents & grandparent (singular) will be there. ;)
