Bridal Tea

This is the start of my Wendy's Wedding Weekend posts. Wendy and I have been friends since our freshman year in high school. She's one of the most loving and giving people I know. She will and has always been a great friend so I was thrilled when she asked if I would be her Matron of Honor. Wendy and Kevin have been engaged for quite awhile now and since that engagement there have been numerous outings and parties in their honor. I think the number is close to 10! Well this is the final countdown so-to speak and I've enjoyed it but I'm kind of glad its over. Wendy is at her best laughing and that's one thing Kevin knows how to do is make people laugh! We started the weekend off with a tea in honor of the bridesmaids at a beautiful hotel in downtown New Orleans. If I've ever felt out of my element this might have been it! My family doesn't even drink iced tea much less tea in fancy little tea cups with hors d'oeuvres! Everything was really nice and the hotel was just like you see in the movies. The food was delicious and the deserts were even better! Wendy gave us these beautiful scarfs from J. Crew and Anthropology. I love them and they're so incredibly soft! It was nice getting to visit with all of the other bridesmaids and close family. It was really fun, but I'm just not cut out for all that fancy smancy stuff! :)
