The Story

have you ever tried to buy eight things in an hour for twenty dollars? and not just any eight things, but a very specific eight things. we did. it was awesome.

at about 11 o'clock, the girls gathered at the starbucks in the mall. clutching cups of caffine, we were read the rules. we had an hour and twenty dollars to find eight things that every bride needs. we weren't told directly what those things were, but were given eight limerick riddles, each one answering to a particular item.

so we ran. literally.

the items: a dress, shoes, a ring, flowers, something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.

after running from one store to another, trying to locate these items cheap, we realized that we were going to have to stretch the non-existent rules a bit. in other words, borrowed didn't strictly apply to only one thing. she had my shoes and earrings (something borrowed), katie's jacket (something blue), her mum's scarf (something old). that left the dress, the ring, the flowers, and the something new. even that was a challenge.

but we did it.

she modeled the outfit at N's apartment after we ate a delicious lunch prepared by the boys.

best bridal shower ever.
