Yesterday I went on my Hen (Bachelorette) Night. My bestestest bud, Squemily threw me an absolutely fantastic shindig. It had taken a lot of planning and she carried it off amazingly well! We began the event with Afternoon Tea in the city centre.
I was worried that I might feel a little overcome. I’m not very good at public things. And, yes okay, having many of my lovely friends in one place shouldn’t have been scary. However, I get emotional quite easily. I was thrilled to see loads of folk turn out and some of my friends came from really far away. I was really touched. We had a wowfabgroovy hat theme going on too which was super cool! Then Emily presented me with a gift: a photo-book she’d had made. She had asked the Chickens (that’s right, we were Ravin’ Chickens – not hens!) to provide her with photographs and anecdotes. That sent me over the edge. It was such a fabulous surprise. That made me cry. How embarrassing!
Next stop was the West End. We went for cocktails and karaoke! I did a lot of really, really awful singing!
We had a wild night. There was karaoke. There was lots of drink. There was getting turned away from one of my favourite bars (because we were wearing crazy hats and looked like a hen party!!!) There was hard rock music and dancing. Yes, lots of bad, bad, but oh such fun, dancing! We partied from 2pm – 4am. We had to get up early to go for a dress fitting, and I’m amazed how okay I felt. Oh yeah, shame that I’ve practically lost my voice. Ha ha ha!
I had an awesome time. And I think I may have the best friends ever!!!

Glad you had such a great time! You’ll have lots of happy memories (well, depending on alcohol consumption…)

Too much photographic evidence for me to forget! Ha ha! I had a really, really wonderful time!
February 10th, 2013 at 20:06
I refuse to believe there is no video evidence of the karaoke

Lol, you know I didn’t think about it until you said it. I hope there isn’t any hiding somewhere – what a thought!

Let’s just hope that no embarrassing photos pop up elsewhere on the Web.
) Glad you had a good time!

Lol, they are all embarrassing! Ha ha! But such a great time was had by all – thanks Jilanne!

Looks like a blast!! And look at all the hats!! Love it!
February 11th, 2013 at 11:20
Thanks, Misty!
I didn’t want anything that was too girly (no pink, no penises!) so the hat theme was because I love them so much! Mine arrived half an hour before I had to go out and meet them all – phew!

You definitely have the best friends ever! Great hats; great pictures! … I’m an emotional crier, too, so I understand.
February 11th, 2013 at 11:22
I am so lucky, aren’t I?
The hats were fabulous! 
I’m really worried about getting overcome at the wedding, you know? I’ll just need to try and think of making a shopping list or something while we’re doing the vows etc!

It’s great that you could have that fun and relieve some of the stress! Enjoy it because you’ll be settled down and married before you know it.

I’m going to visit my man today, so I shall have some fun with him before the stress continues!
