We kicked off the wedding festivities a couple weeks ago with wedding shower #1, and this past weekend was our SECOND wedding shower given to us by Ben’s mom and sister!  I just can’t say enough thank you’s to our wonderful families who have been so incredibly supportive of us and have put so much effort into making this such a special time for me and Ben.  We are grateful!  Our fall-cabin themed shower was just perfect, and so fun, and so US!  Fall is our favorite season, and I loved all the creative decorating Betsy and Sara came up with!  Family and friends shared wonderful advice with us, and we have so many memories (and gifts!) to take with us as we begin married life together.  What a blessing!  Here’s some of the photos Ben’s dad captured of the shower fun, thank you again to everyone who joined the celebration!!

You can also scroll down a bit to see a sneak peek of Jude’s 1st birthday party that I got to photograph this weekend!  This lil guy got a big top event to celebrate, and the details that went into this party need to go straight to your Pinterest board.  Seriously.

Happy Monday!!

Look at these cute prizes!!  And Cracker Barrel gift cards!  I love Cracker Barrel!!

Eeek!  Here I am in the hot seat, Sara and the “audience” got to ask me questions about myself and our relationship!  I think I answered them all right!

So many wonderful gifts!!

Betsy gave me this beautiful handmade coat that Grandma Pecchia gave to her at HER wedding shower!  What an honor to be given such a family heirloom!

We got the two best mamas in the whole world!

Thank you Betsy and Dan for all your hard work and the months of planning that you put into giving us this wonderful shower!

Quite possibly the cutest birthday party I have ever witnessed!  Jude’s 1st birthday was celebrated circus-style, what a FUN day!  More coming soon!
