We all met up at a hotel in town and Olivia's sister (who was in charge of the party) had ordered pizza for us. (YUM. I do so love pizza. I could seriously eat it at every meal.)
Then we set out on a scavenger hunt. Want to hear a stupid-Bekah-moment story?
Olivia's sister passed out copies of the scavenger hunt list to all of us. I have to admit I was kind of surprised. The list had us going to bars and having Olivia asking random strangers for really awkward stuff. While I sat there trying to figure out how two underage girls thought they were going to get in to bars, Olivia was trying to figure out how to be gracious about her party when 90% of the stuff on the list went against her values.
Then we received a second list - the REAL scavenger hunt list. The first one was just to freak Olivia out! Her sister thanked us for playing along. I said, "I was supposed to know that was a fake?" She said, "Didn't you get the email?" Guess not! HA! Way to go Bekah!
So anyway. We set out traipsing about Marion, collecting the items on the hunt. This was one of my favorite moments. She was supposed to find a couple who had been married more than 40 years and ask them the secret of their success. We found these two couples sitting in the mall. One couple had been married 55 years and the other 62 years! The husband of the 62 year couple told Olivia the secret of their marriage was Jesus. I loved that. I loved it that God showed up in a bachelorette party scavenger hunt!
Then we had to find someone to tell us an in-law joke. Do you know that no one has an in-law joke? This lady told us something funny her mother-in-law said, and we let that count.
Mission: Find Tom a ring at a hardware store. Budget cuts, people. Budget cuts.
Last stop of the night...find a dress and have a member of the wedding party try it on. So I present to you - my backup dress. I look like a Halloween nightmare.
Gag gift for Tom - a rather significant belt buckle.
After the scavenger hunt, we went back to the hotel, where Olivia gave us some very thought-filled gifts, and I handed out backrubs.
They booked the hotel for the night, but I had to work on Friday, so I went home before the karaoke (whew!) and movies.
I loved the party. This group of girls is MUCH FUN. I loved time with them!
