Party on, Garth! Woo woo woooooo woooooooooooooooo! It's a completely appropriate introduction for an amazingly fun bachelorette party with my girls. (Except poor Becko, who was home sick.) The United States was well-represented this weekend in Austin, which I've decided is the world's best place to have a bachelorette. The food is cheap and delicious, nearly everything is walkable and the drinks are free (or $2).
Seven girls + cheap drinks + hot tops + ridiculous '80s/'90s dance party = hilarious pictures. Nothing too out-of-control happened, but the usual suspects were present: 1) Random dude who wants to be your "final fling" that night: Attention all men -- making this kind of drunken proposition at 2:15 a.m. is never going to work. This is a fantasy you're all going to have to give up, sorry. 2) Random dude who gives you a high-five: He makes up for delusional creeps. A complete stranger congratulating you (and saying you and your friends are hot) on getting married is nice, even if they have beer breath. Hey, at least they didn't flash you, unlike ... 3) Shirtless guy at a club: Sure, it was probably 90 degrees, but this isn't the beach. 4) Bouncer who wants you to bring in the bucks: Do not pay for your first round of drinks at any bar on Sixth Street. Your wedding party's presence at a bar brings in stampedes of men hoping to make a connection with a bridesmaid. We got several things free Saturday night; all you have to do is wear a ridiculous hat/veil/sash.
5) Hotel manager with an evil eye: Yes, we're staying seven to a room. What are you gonna do about it? I don't know much about bachelor parties (and I probably don't want to know), but bachelorettes are all about your friends and having fun. It seems the older we get, the less opportunities we have to be in the same place. But nothing screams "BFF" like walking a mile in heels, sleeping three to a bed, and a hilariously awkward lingerie shower. :) What are your favorite memories from a bachelorette party? Keep it PG-13, please. TrackBackTrackBack URL for this entry: 10 Comments |

ummmm ... yeah.... see, this is kind of awkward and all but ... i ... don't ... remember. (move this)
p.s. nice family-friendly headgear :)
I love reading your blog! I only wish my bachelorette party was as fun as yours seens to have been!!!!!!
Sounds like you had a blast! You looked super cute.
The only problem: you didn't get tipsy enough! :-(
How is that possible?!?!
I didn't want to be tipsy and sweating at the same time. That means ultimate headache.
I'm getting old, now, dear. Mommie can't party like it's 1999 anymore.
Ellie: I just realized our anniversaries are only three days apart. *tear*
BTW, I was cleaning out the my room at the Tomball house, and I found your freshman-year Lady Cougars basketball photo ... :)
"We got several things free Saturday night; all you have to do is wear a ridiculous hat/veil/sash"
Austin girls are, at this moment, buying and mind you, wearing, ridiculous hats/veils/sashes and stampeding the bars on sixth street.
FREEEE DRIIIIIIIINKSSSSS!
Okay, maybe not THIS moment...it is 9:25 in the morning.
Why are my comments always so long?
Even longer...what happens to the blog when a) you move and b) you get married?
so I didn't think my comment posted. so I edited and reposted. so I look like an idiot...much like the freshman year basketball no eyebrows photo.
but hey, now you've got 10 comments! double digits, baby! :)
Don't worry my dear ... I will fix. :) P.S. I left you a comment on your blog. Are we 12? hehe
Give your sweet baby a hug for me!
My favorite bachelorette memory? One time years ago I cleverly offered to be a bride's "Final fling." It didn't work but I swear I was THIS close.
Next time.
