Winter break in the US...bridal showers!

Our final week in the states was full of wedding preparations and bridal showers.  Jocelyn lives in San Diego, but wanted to get married in our hometown of Jackson, MS, so she flew in about 10 days before the ceremony.  I am so glad that I was available to help my baby sister with last minute details of the wedding and I was also able to attend 2 of her bridal showers as well as a bridal luncheon.  
There were many evenings spent preparing for parties and of course the big day.  Spa and hair appointments as well as ladies nights with the other bridesmaids and hostess as we stuffed gift bags and met new friends and family from California.  It was a long week with many late nights, but it was filled with fun and laughter.

Although Jocelyn had a bridal shower in San Diego earlier in the month, my mom's co-workers wanted to throw her one as well. 

Beautiful antique centerpiece!

We also had a bridal luncheon for the ladies of both families to get to know each other better and pass on maritial wisdom to Jocelyn.
