Wedding Wednesday: More from my bachelorette party because...

Today I wanted to post these unpublished pictures of my amazing bachelorette party because... my dear friend and bridesmaid-to-be, Eva, just gave birth to her first son last Saturday! Now with this said, this is more of a Motherhood Monday post than a Wedding Wednesday one, but here it goes anyway :) 

Eva is the first of my closest friends since childhood to become a mom, and I'm beyond touched by her new mama happiness. I can't wait to meet the little in my wedding three months from now!

The first "baby-shock" of my life was five years ago, when my cousin, who is two years older than me, gave birth to her first daughter. I remember waiting in the hospital hallway for a long time for her to come out of the labour room and, when she finally did, I burst out in tears and couldn't stop for like 10 minutes! It was the first time someone so dear to me became a mom and it was more than emotional me could bear with. Have you ever shed tears of joy like that? Words cannot describe!

Wedding Wednesday: Bachelorette! (II/II)

Woohoo! Here is the second part of the amazing bachelorette party my friends organized for me last month! Feel free to take a look at the first part if you still haven't! So after we finished lunch, off we went to our next stop... my surprise party at a cupcakes shop!!! It was SO awesome when I got in there and I saw the whole thing they had prepared for me. I felt so touched I couldn't help but crying... Thank you girls for all the effort you put on my bridal shower, it was an unforgettable day for me, and hopefully for all of you, too! 

The venue was Victoria's cakes, and it was all decorated for me in my favorite colors, pink and white, with my first name Xenia on a banner {Olivia is my middle name as I mentioned previously}. There were cupcakes, cake pops, sandwiches...

and a big gorgeous princess-like cake!

We ate, drank tea, chit-chatted, took pics, and I received some presents! Mainly bridal underwear! :D Thank you so much once again, I feel so blessed to have friends like you.

Here are some pics with my bridesmaids-to-be! There's still one missing, my friend Connie from Hong Kong who will join my wedding too! Woohoo! 

I'm sososo happy and thankful. Love you all!

PS. J and I have been taking our gorgeous pre-wedding pics this last weekend. Remember to follow me on instagram or facebook for I've been posting plenty of nice sneak peeks!

Wedding Wednesday: Bachelorette! (I/II)

Finally! I have all the pics from the utterly amazing bachelorette party my girlfriends prepared for me on April 13th in Barcelona! I was waiting for the photographer to send me the much awaited pics, and here they finally are!

Everything started on April 12 when Jamie and Soraya came to my home from Oxford and Madrid respectively to be able to attend my bridal shower on the 13th. Words cannot describe how thankful I am to each and every girl who made it to my day, specially those coming from really far away just for the occasion, like Soraya and Jamie, Eva from Andorra, Mireia from Mallorca and Marta from San Sebastian. Thanks to each and everyone of you for an amazing weekend! 

On Saturday the 13th of April, the girls came to my home to pick me up around noon. The first thing I had to do was putting a pseudo-veil on my head... Just so that everyone was clear that this was a bachelorette party and I was the bride-to-be >.<'

Our first stop was at restaurant Murmuri, where the girls had booked a big table for lunch. When lunch was almost over, an amazing surprise arrived: THE PHOTOGRAPHER!!! These girls really know me well! They hired a photographer so that she could follow us around for the whole day paparazzi style :D At the end of the day she had taken 2,000 pictures!!! Jesus!

After lunch we had coffees on the sofas of the restaurant, and then headed to my next surprise, which I shall be introducing to you next Wednesday! You probably already know what it is though, because there were several sneak-peeks on my instagram!

Obviously Jamie didn't get the Spanish of look at the hands hehe

I hope you're enjoying reading about my bridal shower so far. I LOVED IT!
