Hey ladies, need to get this off my chest. My bachelorette party took place two weeks ago and I'm still thinking about the things that DID NOT take place. And I'm mad at myself for thinking that.
In short: My two MOHs prepared a chilled weekend getaway. All of my ten bridesmaids were there. They drove 3-8hrs by car to the beach house they were renting out for me. I also had absolutely no clue that the bachelorette party was to take place on that weekend. I was completely taken by surprise, got picked up by car by my MOHs and taken to the secret location. It was a beautiful weekend there. We had great food, took walks on the beach, drank, slept in, ... There was some "bride to be" decoration, but all very subtle.
I loved the surprise, the location, the fact that everyone was there, the decoration.
BUT I'm so sad that I didn't get a silly veil or tiara.
I know this sounds so stupid.
And it's probably my fault! I told my MOHs before that I don't want to dress up and embarrass myself, I don't want matching t-shirts, I don't want to eat p**** cakes, I don't want a stripper. I told them that I wanted something laid-back and easy-going.
But I would have loved a veil, or a tiara, and I would've worn it with pride during the whole weekend... Even at one of the bachelorette party's I went to (where the bride was similar to me), I made sure she got a tiara, because I find that very classy and still special and ESSENTIAL for a bachelorette party.
So now I'm sad and mad at myself for being so dumb to say anything to my MOHs that might have led to this.
I would have expected that my MOHs know me THAT well to get me at least a silly or not so silly headpiece. Also in hindsight, I would have loved some planned tasks and challenges for the bride. Not vulgar or tacky ones, but cool and classy ones.
And I'm mad at myself for thinking about something as trivial as a headpiece.
It was a perfect weekend, however, it was more like girls weekend than a bachelorette party.
Of course, I haven't told anything of this to the girls. I also wonder if there were any internal discussions about what to do or not to do? Maybe I should have said something on the weekend and they would have pulled it out of the bag? Maybe maybe maybe :-(
I just have this FOMO now. Not even fear, I mean I missed out already. I'm looking at the photos and thinking "they would be so much nicer if I was clearly recognizable as the bride".
Can someone please tell me to get a grip and not behave like a princess? :-(
