My bachelorette party was on Saturday. I got ready for the night with my sisters.
Then we met everyone at the restaurant. Including me, we were a table of 20! I was so thrilled to have so many awesome people there, people from the many different walks of my life – high school friends, past and present work friends, mom and sisters – it was perfect. And they very generously spoiled me with gifts. Because I didn’t want the usual bachelorette party, I got everything from massage oils, spa gift certificates and lingerie…
… to popcorn makers, towels and a power drill.
It was absolutely the perfect combination for me, and oh how I felt loved. After dinner several people broke off to head home or to other plans, and a group of 9 of us went to the bar to drink…
… and dance.
There were several other bachelorette parties in the house, all much more recognizable than mine. My sister stole that pink bow from a gift to tie around my neck, and that was about the extent of it, thank god. After the bar, my sisters and I headed to a local dive for some hotdogs.
And by then, my feet and ankles were so swollen, we went home. It’s a long story, but I’ve been having issues with my knees, ankles and feet lately, so my rockin’ bachelorette party didn’t help. They were so ugly, I just have to show you.
And sadly, I don’t even think this photo fully does them justice. But look at that left foot. Damn!
Everyone kept asking me if I was having a good time, and truly, I was. I didn’t drink a whole lot (much to a few peoples’ dismay), and I wasn’t in a hideous 80s wedding dress like one bride-to-be we saw, but it was exactly what I wanted. A good time with some of my favorite people. Thanks everyone!
(I didn’t feel comfortable posting several peoples’ faces on here, so I was limited in photo selection. Sorry it’s so me-centric!)
(Hopefully Mike eventually gets around to telling you about his bachelor party. Don’t worry, it was even tamer than mine!)
I’m so glad you had such a good time. Wish I could have been there. Are the swollen ankles from running?
they do look they hurt! Mine were like that the summer I was pregnant with my son and it is not comfortable at all! Hope they heal soon!
