On Saturday we had Ms 3rd Bachelorette's party. No I didn't make any spelling mistake and yes, you read correctly, she had 3. This is what happened when one is just too nice and has too many friends. If we all had gone to the "main one" (organised by the bride's maids) we would have been around 30... way too much! That's why we had decided to have one here in Göteborg, with a group of 8-9, it seemed like the right size.
It was also the last one, and when she saw none of us three weeks ago she kind of understood that we were up to something. Clever girl! But she was trying way too much to fish for information. Not good! Anyway, she never got a word or face expression from any of us. And when 12 guys stormed into her flat to kidnapp her boyfriend, she was sent up to the neighbours' flat where we were hiding on the bedroom. The first sparkling wine bottle as open and the clock was only 9...
Then we went to the city, had a really good breakfast, gave M her clothes for the day (golf-theme) and went on through the city with some drinking and some singing and some performing and a big questionnaire about who was the happy one between 4 pictures of 4 guys (the other guys were the boyfriends to some of the girls in the group). When we got to Slottskogen, she got the last element she needed to go and play mini-golf: a real golf bag! She performed as a real pro and beat us all (we played in a team, each girl playing 1 hole against her)!
By then, the weather who really was threatening in the morning had improved and the sun was shining and the grass had had time to cry up. Perfect! Pic-nic time! A big group of boys passed us by and it turned out it was a Bachelor party. C and M performed some activities together, how much fun we had!!! The food was very good and the rosé as well. Together with some rosé it was time for some "frågesport" or culture questions about Sweden and France. M is Swedish of course, but she has been an au pair in France, has read French at University and speaks really well. And well... she got more correct answer for France that for Sweden. I have to admit that J and I were a bit mean when we made the questions, like the one on how many public authorities there are in Sweden... hahaha!!!
After that we went to Js place to shower and get ready for the evening. I could by that time realise how strong the sun had been shining in the afternoon... nice marks on my arms and my décolleté... no need to mention that I didn't need blush either... A few more games were played, a few more drinks were drunk and then it was already time to move on to the last part of the day: dinner and paaaarty! Tramway, avenyn, Nivå... big scene, photographs, what's happening? Have we become stars suddenly? It was Elle summer tour in association with Absolut who is launching a new flavour: Pears. After the dinner, we got some Monopoly money which enable us to keep drinking the whole night for free (not that we needed alcohol anymore at that point but anyway...). Well these Pear cocktails were really good: fresh, fruity, girly, summerish... After that it become somewhat blury: blackjack (won some money!), dancing, more drinking, more dancing, pictures here and there... and then I realised I was too drunk and too tired so I got home... before the others. The ones who have partying with me know how rare it is as I am rather the kind that cannot leave the place before it ends... fear to miss something maybe? Dunno but well, it seems that on that point as well I am growing up.
General feedback says that on Sunday most of us were tired and took it easy... hehe! But all of us had a great time and a great day on Saturday and that's for sure! See you on the 14th of July girls to celebrate France a little but mostly M & T! =)
Wow! Sounds like you had a really nice day!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is this about a new flat? Did you get one?? Hope so!
Yes, I got one, it went really fast: saw the ad on blocket last wednesday, visited the flat on the thursday and signed the contract and got the keys on the friday! So now I have 2 flats this month and therefore a whole month to plan the moving-thing (not looking forward to it I can say...).
ReplyDeleteAnd for the möhippa, you never know, it might be your turn some of these days... ;)
