About Me: I was born and raised in Maine, now living in Annapolis, Maryland and planning a hometown wedding from afar. I’m nothing short of obsessed with wedding planning, and am loving the do-it-yourself madness that has now taken over my life! As for me, I’m a craft-loving, martini-drinking, girly-girl who loves traveling, photography, my schnauzer, and above all, spending time with Mr. Tiramisu.
I Love My Friends
June 23rd, 2008 @ 6:24 pm by Mrs. Tiramisu
I don’t think I have ever felt as loved, spoiled, or truly truly lucky as I did this weekend. My maid of honor Carolyn really outdid herself in planning me the most wonderful bachelorette celebration that a girl could ever want, and all of my closest friends helped to make it absolutely perfect.
First off, a humble little confession- I am a blatant Miss Peacock idea-stealer! It started with her goody-bag idea, but it didn’t end there. I mean how cute were the tank tops that she made for her friend Erin’s bachelorette party? How could I resist sending a little link-hint to Carolyn to tell her what an adorable idea I thought matching t-shirts might be?
And so what do you get when you combine the best friends a girl could ask for, an innocent little link to this weddingbee post hinting at how cute the shirts are, a crafty friend named Maura, and a bachelorette weekend at the beach? Why you get this:
Look familiar? Thanks Miss Peacock for allowing us to share in the pink-shirt fun 
Friday night was spent eating, drinking, and introducing some of my best friends to each other. One of the first surprises of the weekend were these:
Those would be my baby pictures! And they were all over the house. Turns out my mom was in on that particular surprise.Saturday we woke up to Carolyn baking us all a delicious blueberry french toast casserole and plenty of sunshine. We spent the day on the beach, which was gorgeous.We returned to get ready, and begin celebrating with my favorite- green apple martinis!
Then I was adorned with the all-important bachelorette accessories:
Already on cloud 9, or, Why every bachelorette needs a magic wand.
Carolyn had a little game prepared for me to play- she had asked Mr. Tiramisu a whole set of questions in advance that I had to guess his answers to. I was downright awful at this game! I got the important ones, but who knew that his first pet wasn’t the frequently discussed “Sniper” the duck and actually the never-mentioned “Spike” the goldfish? Come on!
A crowd favorite was “How many ounces of water would you say Miss Tiramisu’s bra could hold?” Here is Mr. T’s response:
Is this one of those trick questions like “Do I look fat in this?”- I’ll say 32.
Don’t let her kill me if that’s way off either way!
Then the girls lavished me with the most adorable honeymoon accessories ever! Even Mr. T’s sisters got in on the action! The highlight might have been my outdoorsy friend Kate’s interpretation of lingerie-giving:
Not pictured: wool socks.
That’s her thoroughly enjoying herself at my expense in the background. Don’t worry Kate, you’re getting married in just three little months yourself 
And then we were off for the evening. First stop: Juan Pablo’s Margarita Bar for a Mexican dinner.
Rockin’ the pink.
The cutest twins ever sharing a margarita.
We hit up a couple of bars after that and spent the rest of the evening dancing and laughing. The attention was so much fun, and the boys were surprisingly un-sketchy for the most part. I’m going to spare my friends the posting of embarrassing pictures all over the internet (and believe me there are LOTS!), but as you know I’m always down for a little humiliation myself…Not sure why popping that veil on my head made me want to make the worst. faces. ever. Let’s hope I got it all out of my system before the wedding:
Saved the best for last:
Best weekend ever- thanks girls!

Well, don’t feel too bad about the “borrowing” of ideas, lol. You guys already look alike, I personally can’t tell the difference sometimes.
Cute stuff!
Looks like your girls planned an awesome weekend!
I can’t tell you apart either When I first started reading weddingbee, I would flip between your photos thinking it was some sort of April Fool’s prank
Looks like such fun! And you know you were secretly excited about the wool socks!
Love your “danceface!”
Confession: I already downloaded that cute label too for a future pink tank. Thanks ladies
HAHA!!! That is so funny that people can’t tell us apart! I am so flattered. The shirts came out awesome. What a great party! You do have wonderful friends.
BTW, I am totally ripping off your goody bags. The totes knocked my little plastic bags out of the water. I think we are even now, right??
It’s so funny that you post this. I was just introduced to istockphoto and found the jpeg of all of the frames including the one you used. I want to use them as address labels for my save the dates, but I am a little clueless as to how istockphoto works. I re-read Miss Peacocks post where she said that she just used Powerpoint which makes me think I can totally make labels with that and then run it through my Xyron. Can you help me out as to which size I should buy from istockphoto? I don’t know the difference between purchasing the small, medium, or the large? You can reply here or email me at ymm267 at yahoo dot com. I would have sent you a personal message if I could, but I couldn’t figure out how.
Thanks so much, I’d really appreciate your help!
looks like you had a great time!!! You look AWESOME!!!
Looks like you all had a great time! I love the faces! lol
@Tiki: I am really not an expert with istockphoto, but I never noticed the sizes! I just clicked download and adjusted it from there. I thought the size thing applied to images? istockphoto decided how big the image was and set the price accordingly? I think that image is 10 credits. Let me know if that doesn’t help.
I don’t know that I’ve ever confused you two, but I’m sure now I’ll notice the similarities, but Miss T, you TOTALLY could be identical twins with my cousin.
Thank you for the boob shot up top. High five!
You gals looked like you had a blast! What a lucky little coffee flavored dessert you are!
Aw, glad to hear you had such a lovely time
Glad you had fun here at the NJ Shore! If you’ll be bringing your gals again…the Princeton in Avalon in great for partay time! Newly updated & great for bachlorette antics…although my memories are sometimes a little blurry. HMMMM
Awesome weekend! Seriously beats the party I threw for my friend last summer. I’m glad you had a good time!
this looks great! i am soooo happy you had a good time!
@Miss Peacock: Thanks Miss Peacock, that totally makes sense. As far as breaking up the pics, how did you do that? Was it as easy as selecting one of the frames and copying it into another document?
Looks like you had a great time! I too tried making those tank tops myself and they ended up cracking after i had ironed it onto the tank. How did you solve that issue with the ribbed tanks?
@Tiki: I used the “grab” function on my mac. I’m not sure what kind of programs you have, but you should be able to crop it out!
Love the granny panties!!! I’m totally getting those for the next friend of mine who gets hitched! Nice work Kate.
I followed the links back to Miss Peacock’s entry and how she got the “hand drawn frame” from istockphoto. But I can’t seem to find it on istockphoto myself. Can anyone send me the direct link to where I can purchase it? I would definitely appreciate it. Thanks so much
@Marla128: Hi Marla, hopefully this link will take you there! http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup/concepts-and-ideas/5917369-hand-drawn-frames.php?id=5917369
@Tiki: That definitely worked. Thanks so much!!
