Bachelorette/Bachelor Parties...

We would finally be going to our first wedding in the Netherlands in late July, but first we would be going to bachelorette and bachelor parties. The “hen do” for Celine was at the end of June. We started at a bar in Haarlem for some liquid courage for the activity that would be a surprise to the bride.

On the walk to the main event, we passed these two intricate tiles.

The main event was a burlesque class taught be Elles of Bureau Burlesque who brought gloves and hip scarves for us. I was very skeptical if I could do the moves, but she was an excellent teacher who broke down the moves into easy to follow bits. The liquid courage helped to loosen us all up enough to make it a surprisingly fun workshop. 

The following Saturday, Jimmy went to Richard’s “stag party.” 

They started with a couple of hours of cycling around Hillegom on Solexes (bikes with motors) followed by a big dinner.

Despite Jimmy, Reinhardt and Michael getting lost, they had a great time.
