Crystal Harris shows off bridal shower photos
Crystal Harris appears to be dead set on exchanging vows with Playboy boss Hugh Hefner on New Year's Eve (31Dec12) after calling off their wedding in 2011 just days before the big event.
The 26 year old will wed Hef, who is 60 years her senior, at the Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills on Monday - and to silence the doubters who still think the nuptials won't happen, Harris is sharing photos of her 19 December (12) bridal shower with fans online.
Her business partner, Ashley Matthau, threw the party at the pals'
new lingerie store, Femme Fatale, and Crystal Harris tells Us
Weekly magazine it was the perfect send-off: "We really love
Disney. We are huge fans. We go to Disneyland together a lot. My
favorite movie is The Little Mermaid, so she (Matthau) got me an
Ariel-themed cake.
"We played fun games too. We did questionnaires about who knows the
bride best - Ashley won, and my mom came in second!"
And, in lieu of gifts, the bride-to-be asked guests to bring
Christmas ornaments to decorate the tree in the bedroom she shares
with the Playboy boss.
She tells the publication, "It was really sweet. I opened all the
ornaments - some were wedding themed, some were Disney."
Now, Crystal Harris is looking forward to the wedding: "We're
keeping it really small this time. We're happy about it. It's going
to be a quiet private wedding here at the Mansion with our close
friends... I think, with everything that happened before, we want
to keep it quiet and private. Last time it turned into a big ordeal
and then it all fell apart.
"I needed to explore out there and take the time away. The time
away really helped make me realize that where I'm meant to be is
here with Hef. Hef cares for me so much, and I care for him so
much. We love each other. I felt like I needed to be home and this
is home for me... This time around is amazing. Our relationship is
better than it ever has been before."
