More pics from my Bridal shower ♥

I cried when I came in to the room because of the "Future Mrs. Scarpelli" sign.

my future familia!


Im off to Hong Kong tomorrow for a week! I am so excited!

Hope you all have a great weekend! and for all of you LA'ers....good luck with the 405 madness! ;)

**I wanted to share with you a blog I found that has inspired me. I'm sure you have all seen the video with the husband holding up signs for his wife to the Marry me song by train (here). ((amazing video)). So I found out that the guy blogs about his battle with cancer and it's amazing! Cancer has touched down so close to home in my family and although it tore our family apart and caused separation and hurt, this man has inspired me to be a better person. I read through every post and although some made me cry, his passion for life and for his family is what truly got to me. I want to be like him some day! His strength is amazing and his fight is so powerful. Sending him and his family love and support from California.

He blogs here and I'm in love.

How can we be lovers if we can't be friends?

Last Sunday was the best day ever! My family and my soon to be family threw me the most amazing bridal shower ever! it was beautiful! 40 of my closest family and friends with the exception of a few out of towners came to support Brandon and I. It was perfect. There are no words to describe how honored, blessed and loved I feel. the decorations were amazing, the favors were perfect, the food was amazing and the entertainment was hilarious!! The girls know that Brandon and I are Michael Bolton fans. don't judge! it's an inside thing and we can't help that we are HUGE fans. ;) so the girls ordered an impersonator to sing to me! It was amazing although he looked more like Rod Stewart and was one hell of a comedian. amazing!!!! one of the favors were lighters that said "a man loves a woman-B'Squared" and all the girls had them lit. so perfect. I can't even explain how hard we were laughing. Smiles all day long!! The best part was when he was singing my favorite MB song Brandon and my step Dad came out with flowers. PERFECTION!!!! ♥
I have the best family and I am one lucky girl!

Thank you all who made it the best day ever! I have been so blessed to have the amazing support and love behind B and I. We had a beautiful engagement party (here & here), my closest girlfriends threw me the the perfect intimate bridal shower (here) and now our families came together and hosted one amazing shower! I love everything about our wedding activities! Bachelorette party is next and then off to marry my very best friend!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! 53 days!!!

Sunday was a dreamy, cloud 9, hands shaky, emotional kinda day. My amazing bridesmaids threw me the most beautiful bridal shower with 12 of my closest girlies! It was a hat shower at a tea house in Santa Monica called the Tudor House. It was beautiful! They made me a sign, and brought in the prettiest flowers for the table. Brandon's mom made all the desserts that are to die for! So fun! I loved everyones hats! I got the most amazing sexyfied gifts, fun cookbooks that have so much meaning, Mrs Scarpelli things including a bathing suit, jacket and hanger for my dress, gorgeous Bride stuff, aprons for the birde and groom, a burke williams gift card and more! and all the girls put together a photo album with pics of US inside. It was perfect! I seriously have the best friends! I have known some for years, recently got to know a few, worked with some, dance with some and are related to some. I love each relationship I have with them. They are all amazing and I am so blessed to have them all in my life. I felt so special yesterday thanks to all of them. Best day ever! I only cried a few times.....just a few... ;)


I made my bridesmaid a beautiful necklace as a little thank you for everything. They are sliced amethyst and each one was a different cut. i wrapped them in lace and made each name tag. i love anything handmade!

We also played a game and I failed. Brandon answered a bunch of questions and I had to answer how he would. let's just say.....we were off. I was off. way off. but i love him! :)

A very special thanks to my future husband! He showed up towards the end of the shower with gorgeous flowers for me, my mom and his mom. and then came back inside with sunflowers for every girl. he's perfect. in every way. ♥
I can't wait to be his wife!

Best bridal shower ever! I've dreamt about my bridal shower since I was a little girl and it was perfect in every way. I can't wait for my Shower in a few weeks with my family! ♥

I hope you all had a great weekend!
