....and I'm kind of bummed about that. My fiance is away on his bachelor party weekend right now, and I'm pretty jealous of his chance to spend an entire weekend with the guys he's been closest to throughout his life.
I understand - it would be really hard to get everyone together at once (we're all in different places) - and some of the girls are planning a themed shower that I'm really excited about, and which I'm super grateful for.
BUT: the wedding has given me an excuse/opportunity to spend a lot more time talking to and spending time with my girls. My sisters *finally* followed through on the visit they'd been talking about for ages; my cousin and I talk much more regularly than we had been in the months before my engagement; and I've been able to make time for girls' nights with a good friend despite her new baby, and that's something that might not have happened if not for the wedding (the girls' nights of course, not the baby!).
I know the wedding party should be selected based on current/previous relationships, and mine was, but i really feel like including these girls as my MOH & BMs has given us the opportunity to become closer, or reconnect in some cases. And I'm really thankful for that!
My point, I guess, is that while I'm a little sad I'm not getting the stereotypical bachelorette experience, I really feel like in some ways I'm getting more than that. Anyone else deviating from the norm and enjoying it?
