Bachelorette Party

My friend, Jessica Jenkins, is getting married next Saturday, March 21st! To celebrate the upcoming nuptials, she wanted to spend a night on the town with the girls in Nashville, TN - a very appropriate setting for Jess as she is a country girl to the core complete with an adorable down home accent and an innate LOVE of Elvis! We began the evening (our friend Christy, Jessica and myself) on a road trip to the Rainforest Cafe. If you've never eaten there and you have children, you really should make the trip to your nearest restaurant - it is a blast! The whole place is covered in jungle attire complete with noisy, moving monkeys and a restaurant wide thunderstorm every 30 minutes.

Then we proceeded to WannaB's Karaoke Bar. Not my comfort zone by a long shot, but worth the trip mostly because of an unexpected momentous occasion which took place during our brief visit there. After singing a soul searching rendition of "Come Sail Away", a guy who reminded us a bit of Napoleon Dynamite refused to leave the stage at the conclusion of his song. He called his girlfriend of 7 years to join him up front, gave a very composed and heartfelt declaration of his love for her, got down on his knee and proposed!!!



A short while later Jessica sang her heart out, and then we were on our way home singing oldies like "Chapel of Love" most of the way. It was a crazy night, but what fun!
