Hen's Night

A bachelorette party is called "Hen's Night" in NZ. Don't ask me why...I have no idea. The Bachelor party is called "Stag Night."

My good friend, Toni is so awesome, because she organized my NZ hen's night for me. She rocks...thank you so much Toni. We decieded a girls trip away to Napier would be just the ticket, but I didn't want to do any of the silly normal hen's night things like get dressed up in a hideous outfit or wear penis shaped things on my head (I know, I know, I'm no fun am I?!) We wanted a chance to get all 'frocked' up in pretty dresses, and have a great night in town....



Here we are at one of the winieries - The Mission....see I played along. I wore a veil. Yumm....NZ wine :-)Toni looking as gorgeous as ever...
Another winery...this one might have been my favourite b/c they had a trampoline. Toni's got some great photos which I'll post on the blog as soon as I get them. After the winieries, we headed back to Toni's parents house for a bit of gossip, more drinks, and nibbles before getting all glamed up to go out to dinner and hit a few bars.

Okay, Toni will kill me for posting this pic, but I just think it's pretty funny. This was taken on the dancefloor. All up, it was a great night away and I met some new girls as well. I must be getting old b/c I can't really allow myself to get raging drunk....it just doesn't happen anymore....no fun in getting sloppy. So although we had a great night, I didn't even have a hangover the next day. Bonus! Many of our friends have just had babies, or are pregnant so we're doing a bridal shower this weekend for those that couldn't go away with us. I can't believe we leave for the States in just a few weeks. Yikes!!!
