Bride to Be

What a whirlwind weekend we have had! Last night I was blessed to celebrate our son's fiancée's Bachelorette party. My husband drove me to the downtown hotel and restaurant where the bridal party, the bride's mother, and I met for a fun dinner and celebration. Afterwards, I went with the girls to a bar. I was wise to only have water there and let the young girls drink up a storm. While there, I saw a friend who joined us for some hugs and laughter. My husband popped in to say hi to the girls, 4 1/2 hours after he had dropped me off. I went home with him and left the girls to party on. Now he is in New York City at our son's Bachelor party. I hope it's as much fun as ours was. Now on to the wedding!

@rebelann This is all I will show on here. The guy is there to pick up his newly pregnant wife, who didn't drink. Nor did the sister of my son's fiancée who had a baby 8 days before.

I like this habit that young people have now to make pre-marriage parties. It's a shame we had nothing like this when I was young. I am sure your hubby is having fun.

When we were young, I never heard of such parties. I did have an engagement party after I got engaged, a year before the wedding. That was the thing to do here. It was lots of fun, too.

@LadyDuck I would have partied like a wild woman if we had these types of parties back in the day.

You sound like you had a fantastic time. Busy, busy and not a lot of time to go. Soon the young couple will be married and off on a honeymoon. It will be over before you know it. Keep us posted as the time grows near.

Thanks! It was so much fun being around the young girls and her mother. We laughed are way silly. Loved it and I think I'm safe to say that everyone had a blast!

@DianneN - These are such fun events. Since we have four daughters, we have celebrated all their weddings and had a great time! Now, with two granddaughters in their 20s, we are wondering when the celebrations will start again. Not too soon, I hope!

I have two sons and wonderful, beautiful, and talented daughters as I call them. Of course, my grandkids are much younger than yours, but I hope to live long enough to see them happily married! Being made a great grandmother wouldn't be too shabby either!

@DianneN - I think I have enjoyed my daughters as much as adults as I did as children. I love having a big, fun family. I'm sure you are enjoying having your family expand, too. It is so amazing to have all these young people in my life! I just distributed some of my mother's jewelry among my daughters and granddaughters, and they enjoyed it. She owned a lot of gold chains, watches and other jewelry. My daughters don't wear gold much, but they enjoyed having something from their grandmother / great-grandmother.

@DeborahDiane Yes, we enjoy our sons as much now as we did when they were growing up. They are fun, witty, and bright as could be. Such a pleasure, always. I've been giving pieces of jewelry to the girls, too. They are young enough to enjoy the fun pieces. The remainder will be divided among the females as stated in a codicil to our will. I don't want any fights or hard feelings. I'm sure your females appreciated such lovely tokens from grandma/great grandma. I am waiting to see if there will be anymore granddaughters to join our family. lol

Oh what fun, I would have also had water, or perhaps my fav liquid coffee. I wonder if bars these days have coffee. It's probably been 2 decades since I was in one lol. Have a most wonderful time at the wedding.

I'm not quite sure if bars have coffee, but the water was cold and delicious! If I had another drink, I know I would have gotten sick. lol. Thank you! We are so excited for their wedding!

WOW! wooow! Your daughter in law is so lucky!I can feel it even if I have not met you!You are my perfect definition of mother in law goals!I hope i get as lucky as her in the near future. Its a very rare thing in fact i have never heard a mother in law/mother or any parent as a matter of fact attending their son's/daughters bachelor/bachelorette party.It would be seen as very weird and that is news enough to make headlines. Glad you enjoyed I know the wedding will be awesome and you will all have a blast.Much more happiness to you all!

Lol! Customs must vary around the world. My older son's wife had a huge and quite risqué bachelorette party in New York City. This was very tame by all standards. I hope you are as lucky, too. . Many, many thanks!
