Bachelorette Party: Tun Tavern
We had dinner & drinks at Tun Tavern and played scavenger hunt games for my bachelorette party. It was great because there were guys there doing the same thing (doing similar things for their bachelor party).

We Saved Money By:
We had a beach theme and made some of the decorations. My Aunt painted seashells on wineglasses that we used for favors. I made the centerpieces which were gel candles with sand and shells in large martini glasses. I also made the chocolate seashells that went around our wedding cake.

We Used the Internet
We used the internet a lot, including this site and the knot.com. We also got a lot of ideas from other brides for photo poses, hairdos, and decorations and we purchased some of our decorations and bridal party gifts on the internet.

How We Met
We met at work at the FAA Tech Center when Mike (who works in support) "fixed my pc."

Best Part
Everything went really well. One of the best parts, or funniest, was when some of the guys in the bridal party were racing each other in the golf carts. The priest also made a few funny comments.

Tips for Brides To Be:
Be very organized and try to stay on schedule. We ran out of time for pictures at the church because we only had the church for a set time. Then, at the end of the reception, it was a little hectic because we didn't plan who was going to take things back. We didn't plan who was going to return the tuxes, take the wedding gifts back, return items we borrowed for our centerpieces, etc. We should have planned that out in advance.
