14 – The Time They Cross Paths at the Bachelorette and Bachelor's Party

I had to hand it to Tiffany. The place did look great. Banners in black and gold with 'Same penis forever' emblazoned on them and every phallic-shaped glassware and cutlery item we could find. And Carolina had no idea. She was too busy in the passenger seat of my car, flipping through wedding checklists on her phone. She wasn't even aware that I'd missed the turn to take us into town until I pulled into Blythe's driveway.

"Is Blythe coming too? Actually this is perfect, I need to go over some details with her," Carolina said.

"Um, yeah," I said, "She said she was running behind though, so we have to go inside," I said, turning off my car and getting out of the car. Luckily, Carolina followed suit until we were inside, where all of Carolina's wedding party and friends yelled "surprise!"

Needless to say, the look on her face was priceless. I was just happy she was going along with it. About three vodka shots in, Carolina came over and hugged me.

"Thank you, you're the best maid of honor ever!" she said.

"You have to thank Tiffany, actually, it was all mostly her idea."

"She's so perfect! I'm glad she and Ford are dating! He deserves someone good!" Carolina smiled.

"Yeah," I said, "He does." I took another shot, just as the taxi we'd ordered arrived to take us on the bar crawl.

"Alright!" I called out to the room of intoxicated ladies.

"Before we go, we have a scavenger hunt for the bar crawl! First team to get all the items on the list wins a Victoria's Secret gift card!"

I distributed the teams and gave them each a copy of the list, which required photographic evidence to be considered completed.

1) Bride dancing on the bar

2) Kissing the top of a bald head

3) Guy with a man bun

4) A bad tattoo

5) Phone number and picture of a hot guy

6) You with a guy with a fedora

7) Condom balloon

8) A guy doing a lap dance for the bride

9) Bride's phone number on a bathroom stall

10) Photo of whole team in a bathroom stall

11) Piggy back ride from a stranger

12) Ask for a condom from a random guy

13) You with a guy under 5'2.

14) You and a policeman

15) Bride singing in a place that isn't a karaoke bar

16) Guy who looks like the groom

We all piled in the taxi and headed to the first bar. Luckily, we were drunk enough that any shyness left in us was drowned in liquor and it didn't take much for us to go up to strange men and request a picture with them. Carolina was wearing a "Bride to be" sash and men were buying her shot after shot. We managed to knock out number one and number fifteen in one go when the live band at the bar began playing Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" which quickly became "Sweet Carolina" to the drunken wedding party. A policeman was nice enough to help Carolina off the bar, and she only had to flirt with him a little bit to get a picture with him and get out of the ticket.
