Backtracking: The Shower!

It'll be awhile till I receive my wondrous wedding photos from Frank, so till then, I thought I could catch you guys up on what's all been going on up until the wedding, and maybe a lil' after.

Four days before we caught our plane for Hawaii, Mr. Mek's mom threw me...I mean us, a shower. It was a surprise shower and unfortunately I wasn't prepared with a camera; the few photos I have, I received from friends. I don't have photos of the 25+ guests that were able to squeeze into her home and I don't have photos of the AMAZING Filipino food that MIL Mek and all her friends spent 3 days prepping and cooking. It was a good ol' fashion shower, presents, family, friends and food.

I walked in and MIL Mek's house was jam packed with people. Apparently, we were a lil' late getting there. :o) Not my fault!

"Uhhh....hi"

I hate being the center of attention; I made Mr. Mek sit in front of everyone with me to relieve some pressure off me. hehe. It's hard work opening gifts. Mr. Mek's son, brother, uncle and grandfather were also present at the shower.


I got a Husband Voodoo doll. I can stick pins in him, which will supposedly make Mr. Mek tell me he loves me, take out the trash and kiss my arse. :o)


Uhh ohh, looks like Mr. Mek got a lil' sumthin' sumthin' from Vicki's.

"niiiiiiice"

And of course...the bow hat.

Can't forget a lil' cake. Yum!

And Mr. Mek laughing at me because I can't cut cake to save my life.
In all honesty, I really wasn't expecting a shower. At all. So I was SUPER excited and gracious that all these lovely women (and men) were there to celebrate with me. MIL Mek is adorable and I am so blessed that she (and all her friends) put this together for me. :o)

Mr. Mek's brother is getting married in May, so I'll be helping MIL Mek plan a shower next month for my new SIL. I'll make sure to have my camera ready for that one!
