My Bridal Shower 4.28.18

It's hard to believe that my bridal shower was just about two months ago, and now our wedding is literally around the corner! Between work, wedding, home life, social commitments and trying to stay healthy, my blog has fallen to the bottom of the list. I do post on Instagram at least 3x/week, so definitely head over there and click the "Follow" button, if you haven't already.

I've been hoping to share my beautiful memories with you all for some time now. So, finally, after much anticipation, here we go...April 28, 2018

Venue: The Grand Oaks Country Club in Staten Island, New York

Invitations: Anna Soiree 

Photography: Mike Gloria Photography 

Event Coordinator: Fashionably Planned

Dress: JVN by Jovani (purchased at Ivory & Co. in Staten Island, for my local NYC readers)

Signature Game: "The Shoe Game"

~ There were, of course, many more pictures; however, in an effort to respect all my loved ones' privacy, I only included images of the decor, my mom, Will and my bridesmaids. Thank you for your understanding. ~

My mom worked tirelessly to make the day perfect. Her love and excitement shown through in every aspect of my shower, and celebrating such a special time with our friends and family meant the world to me. Our upcoming marriage certainly felt very real prior to this milestone event, but it really hit home afterward. There aren't many words that can accurately describe my joy on that incredible Saturday, and honestly, at this very moment. No matter what I've accomplished in life thus far, my greatest title will be Mrs. William Rivera. I'm truly #ReadyToBeRivera!

Up next...my bachelorette weekend recap! Ideally, I'll get that up next week. Stay tuned, friends. I sincerely appreciate you being a part of our journey.
