Happy Friday! I’m in a particularly good mood this morning
because FI is going away for the weekend for his bachelor party and he’s
excited! When we first got engaged he was dreading the whole bachelor party
idea because of previous bachelor parties in his circle of friends. One friend
got married last year and requested an OOT bachelor party that required flying.
It was kind of a bust and only 2 people went. A different friend’s bachelor
party last year was scraped together last minute by the BM and was really
boring so people left early, etc. When FI’s brother (and BM) started talking
about plans, FI was really insistent on not doing one at all, but the BM
insisted and did a PERFECT job planning everything. Low key, low cost, weekend at
a lake house two hours away. All of FI’s groomsmen and a good chunk of his
buddies are going and it seems like everyone is planning to stay there all
weekend and I know they’ll have a good time. FI is such a good friend to all
these guys and always shows up for their things, so I’m really happy that they’re
all showing up to support his thing.
With that being said, I’m PUMPED to have the house to myself
this weekend. It never happens! I am having a girls night tomorrow with wine
and wedding-related movies, and then on Sunday I’m getting a 6 pack of
Pumpkinhead, putting football on, and going to town on wedding stuff, specifically
wrapping all of our wedding party presents and getting favors and other
reception details organized.
Fortunately the rain does not affect me at all this weekend
but fingers crossed to all brides and grooms this weekend! If it helps at all,
it rained this weekend last year for my friend’s wedding and it really wasn’t a
big deal. Yes we had to run a little bit in our dresses and use umbrellas, but
overall, it wasn’t a big deal. And, the pictures came out awesome.
