A week before we moved from Boston to LA (the original plan), FH was stolen away to Maine by his best man and some friends to go white water rafting for the weekend. I mentioned this to one of my girl friends who promptly organized a bachelorette party for me. Great, I thought, we will meet at this girlfriend's home and walk over to our favorite bar, about a mile away.
*All pictures by me.
Well, this wonderful girlfriend of mine went all out. She had this beautiful pink and brown theme going:
Those ginormous lollipops that you see near the back - cheesecake lollipops....covered in chocolate....
I did not take pictures of the actual drinks, but this girlfriend made Kir Royale's and rimmed the champagne glass in pink sugar. You can imagine how cute they were.
She did such a wonderful job! We played a few bachelorette games and headed over to the Washington Square Tavern, my most favorite bar. It's dark and quiet, with dark wood everywhere and the bartenders have beautiful Irish accents...oh yes, and they knew me. You remember the Cheers song, "Where everybody knows your name"? Well, that's what it was like...except it wasn't everybody, it was the bartenders and everyone knows that when the bartenders know you, it's the best! (Yes, I enjoy a good drink every so often ;-))

Do you see how happy we are with our drinks?
Anywho, I remember that FH called me on his way to Maine, slurring his words slightly and asked how I was doing. Even in his inebriated state, he was worried about me and whatever games we would play (or would be played on me). I found it very endearing but at the same time, I thought the difference in our parties were so different. While I was having Kir Royales and cocktails and truffles (oh my!), he was having Bud Light and Burger King.
In the end, he had a great time, as did I. Each of us got a party that was perfectly tailored to each of our tastes. At the end of the weekend, we both were reminded of how incredibly blessed we both were to have such a great group of friends who cared about us so much.
What about you? Did you have a bachelorette party? Was it exactly what you expected it to be? Or were you faced with a Mrs. Mary Jane-like dilema?
