Catherine Giudici Celebrates Wedding Shower Ahead of Sean Lowe Wedding
Catherine Giudici is just weeks away from what looks set to become one of the biggest reality TV weddings of 2014 and on Sunday she celebrated her wedding shower in Texas.
The "Bachelor" season 17 winner, 27, who is engaged to Christian entrepreneur Sean Lowe, 30, was surrounded by 40 of her closest friends and family in Dallas for the special occasion. Friends of Lowe's reportedly hosted the event at a private residence.
"Catherine looked radiant and was smiling from ear to ear," Lowe's father Jay Lowe told DailyMail UK. "[The hosts] are longtime church friends of mine and my wife Sherry's and they're also good friends of Sean and Catherine's. The shower was a great success."

The former Amazon employee looked radiant in a white dress paired with black leggings. She shared a photo taken on the day, via social networking site Instagram.
"So blessed to call these lovely ladies my family," Giudici wrote in one photo caption where she is seen posing with guests.
Guests nibbled on a large spread of shrimp cocktails, mini croissant sandwiches and chocolate-covered strawberries among other mouth-watering treats.
"The spread was impressive," Jay said. "Catherine really liked spending time with everyone, and was busy taking photos with each attendee. She is a very gracious woman. We're so thrilled to have her join our family."
The shower comes more than one week after Giudici celebrated her bachelorette party in Miami, Florida.
The bride-to-be cheerfully posed for photos alongside her friends, some of which are presumed to be bridesmaids, throughout the brief getaway. The group enjoyed dressing up for nights out and soaking up the sun during the days.
"I am lucky to have the coolest chicks to call my friends!" she tweeted during her Miami trip. "Life is fun."
Giudici and Lowe, who are set to wed on January 26, got engaged in Thailand while filming the "Bachelor" finale earlier this year. During the special moment, Lowe presented his fiance with a 3.15-carat platinum-and-diamond ring.
The wedding will air on the ABC network.
