Cheers {From the Weekend}

My weekend began with a Friday night birthday party, ended with a Mother's Day brunch and my bridal shower fell in between. Barbeque with the family, champagne toasts, bellini's with lunch, cupcakes and presents... it was quite the celebratory weekend! The fiance flies home from New York on Monday and our approaching wedding is finally starting to feel very real (and very exciting)!
How awesome is my new cheetah ring (a present from Africa)!
