I’m back again talking all things wedding 🙂  As I mentioned in my previous post, I was fortunate enough to have 3 bridal showers total- the next luncheon we had was at Paisan’s in Madison with my Dad’s side of the family.  My sister was sweet enough to coordinate this luncheon with them that included appetizers, lots of Sangria and wine.  If you are in that area, you MUST try their Sangria! Perfect for a day on the patio by the water!

After our many drinks and some good eats, they showered me with gifts! They really outdid themselves!

The aunts then had the brilliant idea of a mini “Bachelorette” party since they would not be attending mine in the cities.  It was the first time, I really went out with them since I’d turned 21. #yesiknowimalmost30 #keepthedrinkscoming  We headed downtown to a few bars- to continue some day drinking!  There was never a time I didn’t have a drink in my hand – or shot thanks to my wonderful Aunts! #howilikeit  It was so much fun! We rode the bull (yes in a dress) and “drank” many “dirty girl scouts” and partied like we were 21!

One of my girlfriends from college, who I had not seen since college, met us out for a few drinks! It was like no time had passed when we got together- even though it had been 5 years! #werenotinecanymore #dancingatthepickle #andshenans #andinthedorms

It was such a fun night and I hope we’re able to all redo this night over and over in the many years to come!  I love my time with my Dad’s side of the family and it doesn’t happen often enough- so thankful for all the people in my life!

And so thankful to have such an amazing sister, to coordinate and put all of this together! This was the perfect way to help me celebrate my upcoming nuptials!

See you tomorrow for Thoughtful Thursday 🙂 I’m sharing 27 things I’ve learned in my 27 years!
