Caryn's Shower and Bachelorette Party

Longtime blog reader and good friend Caryn had her shower and bachelorette party this past weekend! Many of her friends came in from out of town to help her celebrate a weekend full of fun!

Saturday night was the bachelorette party which started off with a dinner at Marrakesh Palace in Dupont. Caryn did a little routine with the belly dancer, which provided us with much laughter. Then her BMs created this great game named Monogamy (based on Monopoly) which made Caryn answer questions about her life and shenanigans--it was hilarious!!! We had fun bar hopping around Midtown and Adams Morgan (see picture below).

Sunday afternoon was Caryn's shower, which I must say was so thoughtfully organized and fun! It was a traveling theme, as Caryn and Brett do a lot of together, there were different stations related to places they have been or are going, with related food. For example, there was shrimp on the barbie at the Australia station and little pigs in a blanket for NY. They even made the chair she sat in look like an airplane chair, complete with neck rest, headphones, barf bag, seatbelt and airline magazine.

She got a lot of great presents from her friends and some very meaningful ones from her family--of course she cried a lot!! A great time was had by all!

Can't wait for their big day at the end of August! They will wrap up the Essama Wedding Tour of 2008!
