 Golden Gate Bridge Suggestions for the bride-to-be to remember prior to and during the bachelorette: These are the moments that will happen once in a lifetime for you (hopefully) and you want to make sure to have the best time ever with your girls; go with the flow, have the least amount of drama around you and enjoy every second because YOU deserve this! I have waited years for this bachelorette moment; dreaming of being with my closest friends & ladies in my family.. on an incredible getaway, spending quality time, catching up, having a blast and creating memories! I remember seeing groups of girls going on adventures, encountering the funniest experiences, doing spontaneous mischief, playing cheesy games and partying like the world was about to end in the sluttiest outfits. I always wondered how my experience would be; and the mystery & excitement of the countdown has been well-worth the wait. My tribe has always been such a fun and spontaneous crew... and I knew it would be one of the best experiences! I won't lie; even with the best group.. there always tends to be some tension or some kind of drama. Ignore it or choose to face it, and let this getaway be about YOUR moment and YOUR happiness. I have gone on some of the most incredible bachelorette weekends and had the pleasure of helping organize the events for friends, cousins and sister in law. Every moment, whether relaxing or celebrating was so special. It was special because of the bride-to-be; celebrating HER moment and being surrounded by all of us that LOVE her and want to see her happy every second. Many of us; including myself, build expectations for this bachelorette trip. We put pressure on ourselves for making sure this event will be the most memorable and to those planning our bach as well. I am a planner as part of my nature, a perfectionist and an experience connoisseur.. this made it a little bit more difficult for me to relax back and watch the show! The itinerary included a lot of free time to enjoy running around town visiting places we haven't been to before, enjoying delicious dinners, a salsa dancing night, a full day of wine tasting in beautiful Sonoma, pre-gaming in our suite at the Palace Hotel, everyone dressing in black while I was requested to dress in all white with a funky bridal vail, a video-interview game prerecorded of Tommi, a fun yet short walk thru China Town where my phone was stolen from my hand... (that part wasn't on the itinerary, neither was the cops chasing the iphone through "find my iphone" with their undercover car). Thank you to all the special ladies who made this an unforgettable bachelorette for me!!! <3 <3 <3 If you are lucky to have a big group of friends with you; just know that cliques are bound to happen and friends most comfortable with each other will stick together and thats totally OK. Those who love you truly, will be by your side and make this one of the most incredible experiences of your life while getting to; "I DO". I was so lucky to have friends and family next to me who celebrated and made me feel so special and excited to be marrying Tommi! Those of you who couldn't make it.. you know who you are... I missed you so much but carried you in heart the whole time!!
