Tonight at 6pm I leave for my last adventure and the end of a true ERA to a new beginning in 49 days! This last week has made me wonder-why do we have these parties? Is it to release wedding stress? Is it a last single night out? Is it a reason to act silly and crazy? So I turned to Wikipedia for my answers and Google Gods of course.
(Gentlemen pay attention)
"The bachelorette party is modeled after the bachelor party,[2] which is itself historically a dinner given by the bridegroom to his friends shortly before his wedding.[3] Despite its reputation as "a sodden farewell to bachelor days" or "an evening of debauchery," a bachelorette's party is simply a party, given in honor of the bride-to-be, in the style that is common to that social circle."
(I'm pretty sure it said "dinner"...don't even give me strip clubs have food either!). =)
In Ireland bachelorette parties are called Hen Parties...and Africa it's an Afternoon Tea...in Canada it's stagette. And you thought you wouldn't learn anything today.
Mine...well...mine...ummm....mine?...I am not sure. What I am hoping for is time with friends...laying in bed with my BFF watching tv like the old days (do I dare break out the MOOMOO?)...followed by an afternoon by the pool...followed by seeing all of "my crew" that made me the woman I am today and made my 20's a true blllurrrrr...a phone call to my chicas that couldn't make the trip then off to never-never land aka Hardrock...ummm...it's going to be a blastie blast.
I am so lucky to have the opportunity to spend a weekend away from wedding and studying to see my old friends and meet my nephew!! I am so excited! And promise to post a few pictures from the shaningans.
So cheers to you all and for all of you close by...I will see you tomorrow night!
Have a good weekend...and gentlemen please be kind to my future husband.
Wikipedia's definition of "kind"
