Kerry’s getting married.

So we had a party.

Four hours away from where I live.

And it was a good time — both drives, and everything in between.

Thanks, Kris, for getting it all together. And now, the photo evidence:

Kerry, Denise, Nikki and I headed up together. Nikki’s car has a DVD player in the back, which Denise and Kerry just HAD to try out (complete with wireless headphones.) We faced some serious rain, but Nikki carried us safely through. We got there fairly late that night, and enjoyed drinks and appetizers on Ash’s deck in the moonlight. And then bedtime.

Lorelei, Nikki, Kristy, Kerry (in her least favourite colour, pink, complete with a veiled hat), Jenny, Denise, and Alexia set out with Ashleigh, Sofia, and I (taking the pictures) to a dayful of relaxing sightseeing around the area.

Sof and Lor grinning in Ash’s backseat.

Me! Just to prove I was there…

We had lunch at a local winery. No one actually drank from that glass, but…

Kerry showed the world some serious love.

Here, Jenny and I attempt to self-portrait in a mirror. It doesn’t go too well.

The twins on the gorgeous patio deck. Lunch was LOVELY. I had these curried noodles that gave me wretched breath, but tasted good. And there was no one to kiss, so all was well.

We played for the rest of the afternoon. Literally.

The evening brought an amazing meal of tapas and great company in a private room at a nearby cafe. Catherine and Janelle showed up to surprise us, which made Kerry’s night all the more special.

That’s Christine, our waitress, who was 21 (so young!) and who got a great tip for being ready for anything. Yay for Christine!

And that’s really all I’m going to tell you about what went on in there and AFTER there, besides this photo of Kerry learning about the aphrodesiac qualities of avocados:

Get a bunch of married chicks (and three single ones) in a room, and they’re going to want to teach the one engaged one how life works. Or at least how they THINK it works.
And all I really walked away with is a good guac recipe.

I love you all, girls. Thanks for the fun. And thanks, Cath and Janelle, for your support during our time of trial on the way home…
