Six google-eyed single gals in the front row, me and 100+ gay guys in the theater. The show was great, but because the score and script were good, NOT because of the dangly bits. How a bunch of straight girls got themselves so worked up over a bunch of gay guys is beyond me...

If there was going to be anything phallus-shaped, it would be hot dogs on sticks. I love camping, and it would have been in late October - a great time to go around here. Not too hot, not too cold. But I was working on my dissertation (I was really trying to finish it before the wedding - didn't happen) and the bachelorette just never happened.

I would love to rent a limo and drive around to different wineries with my girlfriends (possibly even picking out the wines to serve at the reception! I'm a big wine nerd, and one of my requirements of my reception site/caterer is that we get to choose our own wines). Alas, I do not live in California or Tuscany.

We cooked a nice meal together and drank more wine. I'm waiting for one of them to get married so we can have an excuse to do it again. I sure enjoyed it more than I would a loud bash with a fireman stripper, but each to her own.

It was low-stress and full of hilarity, and all my friends, male and female, who could make it were there. One friend bought a polaroid camera (in honor of polaroid film being put out of production) and took crazy photos all night. It was a blast.

My sister was my MOH and she went all at. First we had the all ages bridal shower with sexy gifts, silly games, punch, cake, the whole nine yards. I also had some gifts from my mom and MIL, silly gifts to make me think they were embarassing lingerie but were really flannel pajamas. Then, we went on an amazing photo scavenger hunt she designed. She's an artist so even the clues were incredible looking. We did all kinds of crazy things like doing the macarena with firefighters in a fire station, or getting a Safeway employee to pose with us by a fire hydrant. She put in a lot of work, going to places ahead of time, dropping clues off, etc. It was so much fun! Then we went to a bar just down the street from my house that has karaoke. We didn't really drink, we just hung out and sang crazy songs. Plus, the bouncers there were from Samoa, which made me feel right at home (I grew up in Hawaii and had lots of Samoan friends). They even serenaded me! I had the best bachelorette party ever! My sister was my MOH and she went all at.

But I'm not sure about the etiquette as far as this is concerned-- is throwing yourself a "bachelorette" party like throwing yourself a birthday party? In any case, it should be a low-key night. My MOH and possibly two of the BMs will be underage (and I don't like the taste of alcohol), so we'll probably just do something silly and fun like lasertag!

I went to Northern with my bridesmaid and my brother's fiancee a couple of weekends ago and we walked and ate and drank and had the most amazing time in the mountains and on the coast as well as time in Belfast. It helped that my BM is from NI so she knew some really cool places to go to. The other part is this weekend, which is a more sedate bridal tea - basically all the ladies from my side of the guest list are coming round on Saturday afternoon about 3.30 for tea and sandwiches and cake, probably followed by a few drinks in town. It will be a great way to catch up with some people before the big event on the 31st! I’m also having a two part hen party (what we call them over here in the UK).
