Why My Friends Are Rock Stars

My bachelorette party was this past weekend! I’ve been resistant to the idea of a traditional bachelorette… strippers, drinking until you can’t remember, etc… so I was curious to see what my bridesmaids would come up with instead. I knew the date of the party, but I was not aware of the full extent of what was planned. My friends did not disappoint!
The girls picked me up in a super-stretch limo at 9am Saturday to hit the Shawangunk Wine Trail’s Pasta Primo Vino event for the day. I know I’m biased, but I thought this was the greatest idea ever. It was relatively cheap for the tickets (although I suspect the limo was not cheap), and we got to hit 7 of the 11 wineries on the trail for a wine tasting and pasta dish at each. They do this event every year, along with others like it year-round, so if you’re interested you can check out the website here.
It took a little over an hour to get from where I live to our first stop on the wine trail, so the girls planned a few games as entertainment during the drive. My favorite? They sent Alex a questionnaire of 38 things they wanted to know about him, and I had to guess what his answers were. They gave me a few “prizes” as I got questions right – the biggest shock was when my sister handed over a bag filled with all the lingerie, and the shoes, needed to fulfill his “dream outfit.” *BLUSH*
My sister had also organized everyone so they were all wearing coordinating shirts, announcing that we were a bachelorette party in a slightly less tacky way than usual. Here are some examples (they got one for me to put on, too):
One of my bridesmaids also did her part to make sure the wine pourers knew to “accidentally” give me a bit more than the 1-oz. standard for wine tastings:
It was a fantastic day, exactly what I had pictured, so I can’t thank my friends enough! (Except by calling them rock stars in the title of this post.)
