Celebrating my favorite Sister In Law

Several months ago, about 10 ladies and I decided to start the plans for an amazing holiday couples shower for the lovely bride-to-be, Haley Walker and her groom, Michael Lawson.  Haley has been a BIG part of all of our lives for a while, not to mention taken part in many wedding showers for all of us so we were thrilled to finally return the favor and do something nice for her! 
 
The evening festivities were held at the WildeWood Country Club clubhouse and it couldn't have looked nicer!  Something about Christmas lights and greenery around just makes everything look elegant and romantic.  
 
We decorated the room with photos of Haley and Michael as well as photos of the hosts and her family over the years, and even hung their stockings at the mantle.   All of the hostesses wrote a note including a funny story about Haley that were put on display as well. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The food was spectacular!  We feasted on Lobster BLT shooters, Andouille en croute, Coconut Crusted Chicken Tenders, and a lovely meat, cheese and antipasti display.  Dessert was a strawberry and white chocolate mousse inside of chocolate shells-yum!
 
 
 
 
 
 
We all had a great time catching up with each other, eating the yummy food, toasting with delicious cocktails and celebrating a beautiful couple.  Cheers to more fun times ahead!
