Time is flying! 4 days ago Dani and I had to separate again. Thank God this will be the shortest of our separations: 2 months! I am of course happy, but a little bit nostalgic too. I have traveled far away from my family, my country, my friends, etc; countless times. Goodbyes never get easy. And, being the sensible person I am, I always end up crying at the airport. But the next trip will be different: I travel to Germany permanently with a one way ticket between my hands. Daniel and I are now married and we decided to settle in Germany. It is in this country where we will build our home and our future. It fills me with great enthusiasm and fear of the unknown, but I am fine, because I know I will not be alone.

But hey, I don't want to deviate myself from the topic. I have so many things to write about, I hope not to mix them up, and because I want to do in the right order - according to how things happened- today I will write about my bachelorette party.
Actually there were 2! I know, I am a lucky person. I have the best mother and best friends in the world. They are my greatest treasure and I am very grateful to have them in my life. The first bachelorette party or bridal shower?!? was on Friday, July 11, 2014. My mom arranged everything with the help of an aunt. At first they wanted to keep everything secret, but since I am very curious, I knew details before the day came. Although not all! For example, I didn't know exactly who was coming or which things would be done.

I bought a very feminine and flirty dress to wear on that day. I loved it since I saw it and knew it would be mine. I like pastel colors, this dress is green, of course in pastel and a little bit above the knees. Since I didn't have decent shoes, and since that week I accompanied my dad to buy his outfit, I asked him for shoes!. As he is not a man who likes to explore many shops for clothes or shoes, I knew I had to decide on something soon. So, without much thought in the second store we went, I chose medium heel shoes, relatively comfortable and from my point of view, they would go well with the dress. Best of all was that they were on sale, so they did not turn out very expensive. They were a hit that night and many of my friends liked them.

I completed the look with a short veil that came with my wedding dress. Since I was not planning on wearing that veil with my wedding dress, I thought I'd give a fun use to it, and I did. The makeup was done by myself: something simple, feminine and uncomplicated, like I am.

The farewell was in the "social room" of the residential complex where my mom lives. Upon arrival I was surprised with the decor: many colored balloons hanging from the ceiling, a giant penis shaped piñata hanging in the middle of the room, a cake with the shape of a wedding dress, made ​​out of cupcakes with lots of white cream, penis-shaped masks and so many more details. I was very pleased to see the arrival of the guests: school friends, university friends, neighborhood friends, some of my mom's friends, relatives, etc. It was a pretty lively evening, filled with games, live music, food, drinks and full of many tips to apply in my new married life. Less than 50 persons were there, because I am convinced less is more and I think my mother and aunt understood that very well. :-)

These things were given out to the guests to do some alcoholic shots. Daniel was surprised when he saw so many "dicks" everywhere. I know bachelorette parties are celebrated differently around the world. How do you normally celebrate them in your country?


This penis shaped pistol was filled with whisky cream. It really looked like sperm coming out of it when shooting close to some of the girls mouth. Disgusting, I know. But for some minutes it was fun.

I also got some presents: money, lingerie, jewelery, things for the kitchen (which I do not think I'll take to Germany) and a serenade. I was extremely grateful for the company and good times shared. More than the presents, it is the company of good people, the laughs and the fun shared that light my heart.

The second "party" was a bit simpler and even smaller, but just as fun. This was organized by my maid of honor: my cousin Jessy. She and some friends who attended my wedding in Cartagena, ordered personalized tank tops in vibrant colors, with messages allusive to my last night as single. Mine said: "I'm the bride" and had the initials of my then future husband and myself. "M & D". As Cartagena is a very festive and full of magic city, we walked along several streets, took pictures, and ended up drinking mojitos at a very cool bar located on a wall overlooking the sea. The breeze, the view, music, mojitos, conversations and of course the company were great. I will dearly miss my girls: my mother, my cousin and close friends.

And well, so ended my last night as single. Accompanied by people I love, happy, smiling, and with all the mixed feelings under control. There were only a couple of hours left...
