I chose to not have a bachelorette party. It would be unfair to only celebrate with a select few people when so many has been there for me. So have tea we shall!

We are hosting an afternoon tea party for the ladies to gather and have fellowship (and possibly more sweets than we should. Shhhh no one will know) at Slayden Missionary Baptist Church on May 30th at 2pm with poetry and scripture readings to celebrate such a joyous occasion

This is not a party to honor me as the bride, but to honor the women that walked with me before I start down the aisle. All your love and support has gotten me to where I am today, and I can't thank you enough.

Let's imagine a tea party in our head. What does that look like to you? Lace parasols and scones in high society? Giant, floppy hats and plastic cups of lemonade at the Kentucky Derby? Maybe even just sitting on the front porch on a pretty day with a glass of iced tea?

Well, whatever you pictured, wear it. Be as extra and over the top, or as simple, as you wish to be. This is a no judgment zone. Embrace your inner child and play dress up with me for a day. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Feel free to bring, or write your own, poem to read to the group. They do not have to be romantic or have a theme. It can just be a piece of work that you like.

If poetry isn't really your forte, please bring some scripture that calls to you. I would love to get to know the inner workings of your minds through the pieces you choose to share

Romans 15:5-6 (ESV): "May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ"
