Hey Ladies!
So last night was our Hollywood themed Jack & Jill. It was so awesome, and we both had a great time! Our wedding party (mainly my MOH) did such a fantastic job on everything. There were probably about 80 people there or so. They sold gold fish insurance, and at the end of the night whose ever name was called, if they hadn't bought fish insurance, they would have to eat a fish. They didn't end up calling anyone's name, so my aunt took the goldfish home for her kids. They had about 5 different buckets that were being raffled off...one with grey goose vodka in it, a spa bucket, and a few other really cool buckets. They also were raffling off a $50 bill. And there were two envelopes for guests to put tickets into to try to "win" and be able to pie me in the face, and my FH in the face. FH's uncle won and was going to pie him in the face, but then a good friend of my family's offered $20 for the pie, and then FH's cousin offered $50 to pie my FH in the face. Then my MOH's boyfriend won and he got to pie me in the face. I thought he would take it easy on me, cuz he's my best friend's boyfriend and I know him pretty well, but he didn't hold back! Lol...it was the grossest thing ever. Even despite wearing a garbage bag, whipped cream still dripped all over me and my dress and my fair. My BM Erin was in the bathroom with me helping me wipe off the whipped cream, lol. I didn't shower last night, and when I woke up this morning, my hair was soo disgusting!!
We also were really surprised we got to drink for free the entire night! We both had such an awesome time and had quite a bit to drink. A bunch of our friends from the city we live in made it out, it was quite a far drive for them, so we were so thrilled to have them come. My FH's dad even showed up which was a shock because FH is kinda estranged from his dad (long story). They had popcorn buckets on every table with popcorn from the movie theatre that my MOH and I used to work at (it's great to have connections!!). My mom and my MOH's mom got together and made jello shooters for the jack and jill...they were soo good and I had quite a few! I think they raised quite a bit of money for us, but they are keeping it a secret until the Rehearsal Dinner, and then they are going to tell us how much they raised.
I was quite hungover today, had a bit too much to drink. My brother picked up my mom, my dad, my FH and I, and my aunt and her boyfriend around 1:30am. All 7 of us crammed into my brother's 5 passenger car, lol. They made me take the leftover cake home, and I ended up dropping a piece on my foot in the car, and I think my brother was a bit pissed I got icing on the carpet of his car (oops!), lol. We stayed the night at my parents, and as soon as we got to their place my FH went to sleep. I sat outside with my parents, and my aunt and her boyfriend (who both stayed the night as well), and drank two more coolers, and then went to bed around 2:30. Woke up at 10, and made the mistake of eating bacon and eggs. My FH and I left around 1:00 to head home, and I made him pull over twice because I was so sick. Ughh awful feeling! I don't think I have been that hungover in a few years.
We had an awesome time, and I am so thankful to our wedding party for put so much time and effort into planning our jack and jill. My MOH's brother helped out, my MOH's mom, my mom, my grandma..everyone pitched in and helped. It was a great night!
glad you had a great time!
Oh and by the way -- according to a study done by a college in the U.K. -- bacon is actually one of the best cures for a hang over. :)
