I am soooo trying to be okay with this whole bridal shower thing. I've never been okay with the whole gift getting thing. I know this is tradition...I know that I love buying brides gifts for their showers, but it still makes me feel guilty that someone spent this money on me/us. I keep trying to tell myself that people like to help you celebrate.... I would hope that if someone didn't want to buy me something or felt obligated that they wouldn't come, right?!
At first, I didn't register for much because I felt like I was asking people to buy this stuff for me. Stupid I know because how else would people who want to buy gifts know what we need or want. But still it just made me feel weird. HOWEVER, I absolutely know that there are plenty more weddings in my future to which gifts I will bestow upon the brides so that thought of paying it forward helps!
On the bright side of it all, I get to spend time with some truly great people I am blessed to have in my life. I get to see some people who have helped shape me and have been rocks in my life. Some that I don't get to see near as often as I would like but still full of love and awe for them.
