A couple of weeks before Rachel’s wedding, we had planned a bachlorette party at a local sports bar. Unfortunately, Rachel’s wedding and work stress really started overwhelming her and she decided that she didn’t feel like a rowdy night out.
To make for a special night, we decided to surprise her with dinner at an undisclosed location followed by sangria, chicken wing dip and wedding-themed movies in our jammies at mom’s house. Definitely a more relaxing night “out”.
I surprised Rachel with dinner reservations at the Melting Pot. Mom and Rachel had never gone before so it was a fun treat.
Mmmmmmnnnnnn, cheese fondue…..
Taking flash pictures in the dark restaurant completely humiliated Rachel so I felt honor-bound to take lots of pictures. Rachel really appreciated it. 😉
I would like to point out that I had been tempted to bring a fake veil and a dozen roses so the embarrassment was mild compared to what it could have been. AND, we weren’t the only ones taking pictures.
Cooking the meat:
Why, hello there dessert!
I was there. Making an ass out of myself as always. 😉
Ok, here’s a better one.
After two hours of fonduing, we headed to mom’s house. By the time we got situated, it was getting late. And after two hours of eating, no one was hungry. There was a little sangria drinking but not much. We sure are a wild bunch, aren’t we?!?!?
Rachel asked to watch Tangled and really enjoyed it. After the movie, Rach and I went home. She ended up taking Bride Wars and the pitcher of sangria home with her to continue the party on her own. Oh, to be young and child-free again. 😉
(I never did get my pitcher back, Rachel!)
