Bridal Shower

Today a Bridal Shower was held for my childhood friend Amanda that's getting married next week. Due to Swedish bridal shower traditions, the bride is supposed to be publicly "embarrassed", meaning she ofttimes has to do awkward and weird stuff.

So my dearest sister Sabine & our friend Michaela kidnapped her at H&M where her sister lured her in to a fitting room and dressed her in a fantastically ugly dress that Mich's sewed for this special occasion. During the day she, among other things, had to give random people hugs, dance for them, give out candy, pose with statues and carry around a plastic bag dog.

After this, we all went to a really nice dinner at a Sushi restaurant. By then we made her change into her normal clothes and just sat an talked and laughed and gave her underwear for her wedding night. It was a very nice day full of humorous laughs and crazy assignments for the bride, mostly laughs for us.

Don't worry, no brides were harmed during this bridal-embarrassing-shower-day.

I'll put up pictures of it all tomorrow, goodnight friends!
