It had rained all day Friday while we were getting the tent delivered and finishing up most of the decorations. We originally planned to have the tent out in the grass under a large oak tree on my cousin's property, but due to the rain soaked ground, we had to improvise and put the tent up in their driveway. Thankfully their driveway is nice and big :-) I think it actually turned out better to have the tent on the driveway instead of the grass. We were able to make an even bigger area with the tent (where all of the tables were set up for dinner) and that was connected to their large carport area that we set up as a dance floor. Next to the dance floor and tent was another smaller tent that was set up for the bar and food tables. It turned out wonderful and because of the rain, that hot Texas weather turned out to be pretty cool. I know they say rain on your wedding day is good luck, but surely it can apply to your bridal shower/family party as well :-)
My cousins and best friend put together a wonderful bridal shower for me!! Lots of yummy food and fun party games. I know there are some black mail pictures floating around out there somewhere!!! We received alot of nice things for our house and money on our honeyfund account for our honeymoon in Key West.
Next us ladies moved outside to the tent to have dinner and join the rest of the guests that were starting to arrive. My Dad served up a great BBQ meal stocked full of brisket, sausage, beans and potato salad. Not to mention the mouth puckering sour pickles!
All in all it was a fantastic night with our wonderful family and friends. Thomas and I couldn't be more lucky to not only have each other, but also such wonderful people in our lives.
Below is a sneak peak of one of the photos taken that day. We hung mason jars with little tea lite candles in them from one of the trees out front.
