surprise bridal shower

Well last Thursday sure was interesting! My work got me good with a surprise bridal shower!

For the last few weeks, we have been planning a retirement party for a co-worker going back on retirement. The office thought it would be fun to have a full Mexican themed party with taco bar and everything! We were even going to dress to the theme.

Thursday morning, Doreen forgot a few of the supplies and asked if I could run to pick them up. She told me to go to Market Place and take my time. I thought that was pretty great, there is nothing better than grocery shopping at 11:30 on a Thursday morning. It was dead and I had a great selection to choose from.

When I got back to the office the back table was all set with food and goodies. But, the strange thing was they had also decorated with all sorts of wedding decor. Streamers hanging from the ceiling, diamond rings scattered across the table, and mini champaign flutes filled with wedding mints. Clueless me asked "who's getting married" and they told me that besides being a retirement party it was also going to be an anniversary party! I thought that was cool and very nice of us :)

It was not until Mary brought out a veil and tried to put it on my head did it finally start to sink in. I had been fooled! This was a bridal shower for me! I was totally shocked, dumbfounded, and blonde!
It was a wonderful shower! They invited a few of my previous co-workers and it was amazing to see them again. We had my friend Michelle Greenway, Julie Bruggenthies, and Mary Jo Pittman!
