I am excited to report that my very loving family and friends are hosting a bridal shower for me this weekend. I am not sure why but when I started planning our wedding I was pretty sure I was not having a bridal shower. I guess I just figured I was to old for one.

Now, before anyone starts with the 'your not old' sympathy comments, I know that I am not old. But I am in my early thirties and PJ and I have been living together for a couple years. In that time we purchased a house, had a house warming party, a couple of christmases and moved all the stuff into every nook and cranky our house has to offer. So guess I thought I don't need a shower or even gifts for our wedding.
Here is the dilema: People REALLY want to give a bride and groom gifts, they want to shower a bride with attention and kitchen gadgets, whether the bride and groom need or want them. So embrace the gift giving you say! That is easier said than done. Like many others, I am having a hard time with too much attention on me. Though I am amazed and so beyond grateful that people want to help us celebrate our wedding I feel uncomfortable because it somehow feels undeserved. I am actually more nervous about this part of the wedding than I am about marrying PJ and spending my life with him, that part is easy! I wonder how others cope with this sort of thing or is it just a rite of passage?
