Here comes the bride!
Vanessa Minnillo is getting ready to marry her beau Nick Lachey, and her friends threw her an intimate bridal shower last weekend in anticipation of the big day!
Minnillo, 30, was feted by 16 of her closest friends at a Beverly Hills home on June 11.
The pretty party had a lavender theme, complete with a garden decorated with violets and Hpnotiq Harmonie cocktails for the girls.
Nick Lachey’s wife-to-be “teared up,” while giving a speech about each girl who was there, “saying her friends represented the ‘United States of Vanessa,’” according to Us Weekly.
The actress is already prepared to take on her hubby’s last name. “I heard her trying out ‘Vanessa Minnillo Lachey,’” a source said.
Over Memorial Day weekend the couple hosted a party for their friends at the London Hotel in West Hollywood.
The couple has remained coy about their wedding date, but it will definitely be a beautiful day for the happy pair.
