#sinkingmrssellers

Last weekend was one that I will never forget. My sister hosted my bachelorette party for me and my 14 bridesmaids in Charleston, SC. What a job it must have been to put together an event for so many girls in one short weekend. She did a fabulous job planning every little detail and everything was so perfect. Let me tell you a little bit about what happened….
 

So, Devin’s Aunt Patti so kindly let us use her condo for the weekend! It worked out perfectly that Emily and I could head up to Charleston a day early. Brooke also was able to sneak away a day early so she came along with us! We left late Thursday night after they got off work. They packed the car completely full of all of the weekend goodies. I was not allowed to turn around and see what was in the backseat because EVERYTHING about this weekend was a surprise. All I could see were lots of boas floating around in the backseat. I knew nothing about the theme, decorations, plans….NOTHING.
Friday morning when we got up, Emily and Brooke kicked me out of the condo and sent me to the pool to lay out while they set up and decorated the condo. When they finally let me back in, I walked through the door and immediately started crying because of all of the adorable, beautiful, and over the top decorations my sister had put together for me. Yes, I am an emotional wreck. After all of the girls got into town we decided to start getting ready early because my sister had made dinner reservations for us. Believe it or not, 14 girls were dressed and ready..ON TIME! We even had a few minutes to snap some photos before we left.
I had no idea where we were going to eat so when we pulled up to the Fish House, I was in absolute shock. It was the most beautiful restaurant with such a breath taking view! We enjoyed  a delicious dinner and then went up to the rooftop bar and of course took more pictures!
 
When we left, I knew Emily had something fun planned for when we got back to the condo because she could hardly stop smiling. She had a mischievous look on her face so I knew something was up. When we got back, we slipped on some comfy clothes and sat down in the living room. My sister came out of the bedroom with a hello kitty piƱata. I was told I had to bust it to find out the next part of the night. Well since my broom wouldn’t bust it, I decided to stab it and out came a bunch of panties and goodies. Yes….Here comes the panty game.  All of the girls had bought a pair of panties and I had to guess which ones matched their personality. After I kicked butt at that game the girls had to design their best lingerie out of toilet paper and I got to choose the sexiest one. It was a tie. They were all fabulous….yeahhh……
 
Saturday morning we all got up and dressed to head to downtown Charleston! Emily had made us brunch reservations at the Drawing Room. It was such a beautiful location and the food was to die for! I was also given a free mimosa! When we finished up with brunch, we headed down to the water to get a few quick pictures then we went down to the famous market in Charleston. After we did a little shopping we decided to head back and rest up for the festivities that they had planned for the evening.
Emily had made all of the girls black sexy tank tops with “GET NAUTI” on them. She made me one that was white with “Last Sail before the Veil.” We got all dolled up..big hair, red hot lips..and we were ready to take on the town. We lucked out and got a taxi van that fit 14 people! Poor driver got to listen to us rap out old songs because he let me control the radio on the way. We pulled up to Mad River Restaurant where we had a very fun dinner with some dancing. My girls of course jumped up in the middle of the restaurant as soon as copper head road came on the radio. After we finished up here we headed down to Market St. Saloon. This is where me and my girls had a blast. From the moment we walked in the door we were dancing our hearts out. We dance for a good 2 hours and never left the dance floor….ok ok we thought we were on coyote ugly.
 
 
Looking back on this weekend, my heart just fills with joy and laughter. I had the BEST bachelorette weekend a bride could ask for. Emily you made my weekend so special and it is one I will NEVER forget. Everything was perfect. I know I keep saying that, but it honestly was. I could never thank you enough for all of your hard work, time, and effort you put into my weekend. You are my best friend and I will forever love you.
To my girls… y’all are my world. I don’t know what I would do without you all. Everyone thought I was crazy for having 14 bridesmaids, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world! You girls made my weekend so much fun and I can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for me. I can’t believe you girls will be helping me put my dress on in less than 2 weeks. I thank you for your support, love, and laughter through this whole wedding process. I can’t wait to have you all there to help Devin and I celebrate the beginning of our life together. Devin’s already expecting you all to be over at the condo all the time so no worries about that! Hehehe he’s always been one of the gang  anywaysJ
 
 
My bachelorette weekend was one for the books.
