Last night was Gemma's bachelorette party. Josh went with a group of guys, including Patrick, to Charlotte to a place called Dave & Busters - which is like a Chuck E Cheese for adults. For the ladies, ten of us went out for the evening, first stopping by Starbucks for sustanence (aka caffeine). We started out the evening at a comedy club in Greensboro, which was fun. The MC and opener were better than the headliner. Gemma, because she was the bachelorette, was brought onstage and given a blowjob shot. Which she did very well, no hands! After the comedy club we went to a friend's house where we had drinks and played "bachelorette games" - similar to reindeer games although more risquee. I ended up coming home with a penis straw... Our final event of the evening was to go to a line-dancing club where we danced and watched Karen ride a mechanical bull. We got back to Gemma and Josh's house around 230 and the guys got there at about 3. We were so exhausted that Patrick and I slept in until 1 pm today. Personally, I thought it was only around 9 am but with the heavy drapes pulled and the room being nice and cold it is easy to see why we slept so long.
The rehersal today went well, better than expected actually, and when we were done we all went to Golden Corral for the rehersal dinner. While the food wasn't great, the company and conversation was. I got to really talk with Will and Kristine and then Pete decided we were cool enough to come hang out with. For bridal party gifts, the guys received Nerf guns...not just any Nerf guns, but Super Nerf guns. Patrick appeared very impressed by this gift and truthfully, it was perfect for the group that was Josh's groomsmen. For the bridesmaids, we received a pearl necklace and matching stud earings from the Phillipines. They are absolutely gorgeous. Mine is a little tight (they are made for tiny little Filipino necks), but I figure with time it will loosen as I lose more weight.
After the rehersal dinner, Patrick and I went to see Stardust, a new fantastic movie that is very much in keeping with The Princess Bride tale. Very magical and entertaining. I absolutely loved it. Tomorrow is the wedding and I'm still trying to decide what to say for my "speech". Unfortunately, I don't have too much to say regarding Josh as I haven't been around for the majority of their relationship. It was suggested that I mention that Gemma is like herpes in that I just can't seem to get rid of her and that through all of high school she was tenacious enough to stick by me, even when I just wanted to be left alone. I figured that if I couldn't mention the slut story, herpes were definately out of the question.
