Wedding Madness

It's officially begun! Mel's wedding is just around the corner. May 8th to be exact! This means wedding showers, planning bachelorette parties, engagement pictures, bridal portraits, and a stressed out mother of the bride trying to get everything done.

Last Saturday was Mel's first wedding shower and it pretty much rocked! It was "bow only" so she didn't have to spend hours opening presents and had time to visit with family and friends. The hostess's were my Mom's BFF's, Nancy and Glenna. They did a wonderful job, especially on the pinot grigio punch. I'll post the recipe. Trust me, after seeing the picture, your going to want it.
The Punch. Ahhhhh- mazing!

The spread

Melissa and Justin Wilcox. These were so yummy. I'm pretty sure I ate about 12.

Okay, here is the recipe for the punch:

PICNIC SANGRIA
1 (750-ml) bottle white wine
1 cup peach schnapps... See More
1/2 c frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
2 nectarines, sliced
1 cup green/red grapes whole or sliced (frozen)
Freeze grapes in ziploc baggie. Combine all other ingredients in a large pitcher. Cover & chill at least 2 hours overnight). Stir before serving. Makes 8 cups.
The frozen grapes keep it chilled w/out watering it down w/ice cubes!

On a completely random note, today is my Dad's birthday. He's the best in the world. Love you Dad and Happy Birthday!!!!!!
