I have two sister-in-laws who are getting married. Laura ( aka Pinky ) and Julie. Most of my sister-in-laws live in Michigan and Utah. They all came down this weekend to go wedding dress shopping for Julie. Julie wants her bridal shower to be an old fashion tea party, so her twin sister Norma, who is her maid of honor, decided to surprise her with flower hats and pearls to "dress up" for our day out. We had a lot of people who stared, but most people loved the whole theme. We even had a handsome cop stop and ask us if he needed a hat to join the party. My sister-in-law Martha told him it was our get away outfits. We are now known as the flower hat bandits! We really had a good time and enjoyed being a little silly.
We went to the bridal shop I do I do. Unfortunately they have a privacy agreement with their designers, so you are not allowed to take any pictures of any dresses, unless you are buying that dress. Julie tried on many dresses ,but this is the one that made her cry!
Of course she had to wear her flower hat for one of the pictures!
We laughed at this picture because she doesn't want a veil. She wants flowers in her hair, and there you go!
This dress looks so beautiful on her, these pictures just don't do justice to this dress. They are going to make alterations to make it temple ready.
Isn't she beautiful!
We told Pinky that the flowers on her hat looked like two eyes on top of her head :)
Many of you know that my mother-in-law passed away in April. Norma asked Julie what she wanted most on this special day and she said her Mom. My sister-in-laws Norma and Martha made these beautiful pins with pictures of my mother-in-law. Each of our pins had a different picture, so at dinner we talked about the history of each picture. We love you Mom!
We ended our adventure at Benihana's, which I had never been too. It was delicious.
This was our chef, he said, "Welcome to Benihana's fine japanese cuisine I am your chef Jose." We all got a laugh out of that one!
My girls were all jealous that we had such cool hats, so my sister-in-laws had a great idea. We went to the dollar store and bought hats and flowers, then we went to Walgreens to buy 3 porcelain tea sets, so we could have a tea party. This is my sister-in-law Gaby playing in the aisles.
We had strawberry lemonade "tea" with crackers, cheese and popcorn. We tried talking in english accents and held our pinky's high. Poor David was forced to endure yet another girl moment. He was a very good sport and sported his goofy hat from Disneyland!

You guys are so much fun! I love the hats you made for the girls, and teaparties are so much fun. Her dress looks beautiful--that's good they can make it temple ready.
Sounds like you girls had lots of fun! The dress is beautiful... Carlos went to that restraunt one time when he was out of town with work. we"re suppose to go in a couple of weeks with my sis and bro inlaw...
What a fun post! You probably got a good ab workout from laughing with the girls. I love the hats!
I'm sure David's mom was with you guys. Probably wearing a silly hat, too. The pins were a great idea.
You'll have to tell me what you had at Benihana! I've always wanted to go there.
Good thing David is used to a bunch of silly girls already. You are really blessed to have so many wonderful sister-in-laws. I hope they know what a gem you are right back. Boy do I wish I had a sister:)
