that's miss chanandler bong.

before blakey & i got married, cari helped throw the world's most amazing bachelorette party for me {check it out here}, so i was super excited to do something special for her.

a bachelorette scavenger hunt!

cari had lots of bride & wedding & marriage tasks to complete:
- find the funniest wedding card.  {julie!  your bachelorette card won :) }
- take a picture with another bride-to-be.
- find the most creative wedding ring in a local hardware store.
- model your best representation of a wedding dress, garter, or veil:

there was a little bit of a friends theme:
- introduce yourself as the owner of the tv guide {"that's MISS chanandler bong."}
- "look at me! i'm chandler!" act it out in costume.  {"could i be wearin' any more clothes??"}:

cari had plenty of fun things to do:

- start a dance class in a parking lot & ask 3 strangers to join.
- sing "BOOMER SOONER" in a bar.  loudly.
- take a picture spelling out "CARIC" with your bodies:

& she had to get some good advice:
- ask 3 children "how does a couple know they are ready to get married?"  {my favorite: so they can have babies!}
- find an older couple {married more than 30 years} & ask what makes their marriage successful.
- find a younger couple {married less than 10 years} & ask what makes their marriage successful:

{this is cari CHASING down a couple that looked like they were newlyweds.  hilarious.}

{the overwhelming answer to this question: remember your anniversary!}

love you, bride!!  i hope your bachelorette party was all you hoped & dreamed.  & that you know how very much we all love you & are so incredibly excited for you & aric.

love love,
kjp.
