Single No More!

Last Saturday night, what I feared (but expected) would happen, happened. I got a surprise hen night with some of my closest friends and family. In a nutshell, it was the best get-together I had ever been in. And for the first time in my life, someone threw a surprise party for me.

Kayak di film-film gitu.

Runi and Dinda my sister were the two masterminds behind this. They invited me to this “casual hen dinner” on Senopati, and Runi picked me up and told me Dinda was meeting us there. She forced me to wear this beautiful, hand-made white veil which everybody looked at all the way there.

We reached the place with Rozelle and just like in the movies, I was greeted by a “surprise!” yell from the faces I knew. I saw friends from college, from Jakarta Globe, and also the supercool in-laws.

The rest of the night went too quickly and in a bit of a blur. I laughed, I ate, I drank, I was humiliated; it was truly a night to remember. For a few hours, my mind was free from thinking about the wedding because I was too busy having fun.

Cheers to everyone who made it there and special kudos to Runi and Dinda who managed to track down and call my friends, arrange the venue, hand-made the veil, tiaras and—of course—weewee-shaped straws as souvenirs. Also, you guys managed to blend all the groups of friends in one table. I don't think I could ever do that.

In pictures, I went from this happy bride:

To this of Chucky's in a few hours:

That's it, this bride's gonna be taken in the next two++ weeks!
