she's the bride. {yeah, you are.} awoohoo!

our goal of the entire weekend was to make our fabulous friend feel like the special bride she is.  & i hope we did just that.  

{the fantastic "caric" koozies from rouge & co

& the fabulous bridesmaid wine glasses the allison gave us!}

have i ever told you about cari, armstrong, & my love for friends, the tv show?  it's pretty much ridiculous.  we used to sit in our dorm room & kappa room & watch episodes over & over & over again.  we can literally quote entire episodes.  just ask & i promise we will :)  #1 favorite: the one where no one's ready.  # 2 favorite: the one with the embryos.  & the absolute best part of that episode: the trivia game.

"michael flatley, lord of the dance!"

"the irish jig guy??"

"his legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

{"the game board is ready."}

so armstrong recreated the game board just for cari!!!!  it.was.amazing.  absolutely incredible.

{it looks the exact same!!}

she asked aric lots of questions about him & her & their relationship & their future.  so we then got to ask cari what his answers were...

{"firsts.  favorites.  future.  fears & pet peeves."}

& for every wrong answer, cari had to put a piece of bubble gum in her mouth.  the huge gigantic not tasty double bubble kind.

{she might have gotten a few wrong}

the very best question was last: "what are your future kids' names?"  cari has been naming her unborn children for as long as we have been friends.  she's been pretty darn secretive about them & the list is ever growing.  so when we asked, she got super excited & started naming them off... & when she couldn't remember ALL of them, she ran & got her phone & started reading them from her phone.  armstrong might have been egging her on...  

to which we finally found out aric's answer: "i was sworn to secrecy on this one!  cari might kill me if i tell.  they are all picked out though."

{smart boy}

{HILARIOUS}

& as in the fabulous episode, the game ends with THE LIGHTENING ROUND!  aric listed 50 reasons why he loved cari.  each of us had a card & read them off to her.

{cari is marrying a good one.  a very good one.}

& what bachelorette party would be complete without a lingerie shower?!

{super cute & classy bride veil & soon-to-be sash.

well done, allison!}

{the gorgeous lingerie cookies from brittany}

& even more bachelorette party to come!!

love love,
