In my world, summer and weddings go together like peanut butter and jelly. Without fail for the past few summers, I've had about 5 or 6 weddings to attend. Todd & I are beginning to wonder when all of our friends will finally be married so we will get a break! We have 4 more weddings to go to this summer, all in August and September. One of those is for Emily, one of my really good friends & former running partner. I'll tell you one thing, there's nothing like getting to know someone better than training for a marathon with them. Anyways, Emily & Mark are getting married Labor Day weekend in Akron but this weekend in Columbus, her bridesmaids (myself included) hosted a couples shower for them and it turned out wonderfully. It ended up being the hottest day of the summer but luckily Cindy & Chris, who were hosting the party at their house, had plenty of space inside to accommodate everyone.
The theme of the shower was Martinis & Manhattans so we had quite the bar set up
Appetizers
Main spread with veggie side salads and flank steak
Dessert was mini cupcakes from Blue Frost Cupcake
The happy couple, Emily & Mark
Everyone socializing & drinking
Todd & I
Opening presents
Mark loves Woodford Reserve bourbon so Todd & I had a bottle engraved for them
Handmade quilt in their wedding colors, green & brown
Playing the Newlywed Game
They got the first question right but Mark lost interest quickly
This was the second couples shower I'd been to and I'll be honest, I like them a lot better than regular wedding showers. Couples showers are more about hanging out and socializing as opposed to opening presents and playing games. I had a ton of fun with some old friends that were there and getting to know the rest of the bridesmaids. This weekend, I head up to Akron for her bachelorette party at 750ml, a wine bar.
