We had spent a few days on the lovely island of O’ahu just a couple of weeks before, but for my dear friend Cecile, one celebration before her wedding simply wasn’t enough. During a gorgeous weekend in February, we rented a house in Hollywood and threw the bride-to-be a small bridal shower, followed by a Harry Potter themed pre-party, followed by a bachelorette evening partying at nearby Crown Bar.

All the gals dressed in their Sunday best that lovely Saturday afternoon, we played games, ate, watched Cile open gift bags and boxes galore of lingerie and other fun stuff…and then we ate some more, courtesy of the culinary wiles of Riann, Bev, Rachey, Leia, Porto’s Bakery and our talented friend, Jenn, who made all the sweet treats.

It was a tiring weekend but our bride had a memorable time, which made all the preparation totally worth it. Love you lots, Cile!!!
