Bachelor / Bachelorette Parties

So, I was not only lucky enough to have been invited to Søren's sister Mette's wedding this summer, but I also attended her bachelorette party! n Denmark, these parties go all day long and are nearly always a surprise for the bride / groom. So these were long days for Søren and I ... but so much fun!!

Below are a few pictures from Anders' party one week before Mette's, (courtesy of Søren), and Mette's following:

Søren and Anders play some beer croquet.
... and the penalty for losing.
Game over. Time to break stuff!
Anders loves his beer.
Screw the cups.
A little Foozball...
More beer.
Mette's bachelorette party started off with a series of tasks she must pass successfully in order to be allowed a shower! Here she gets friendly with a snake.
At the beach, we all had to pop a balloon with a dart while on our bellies. With the wind factor, passing joggers and a number of beers ... (and yes, this is still all before noon), this was not an easy task.
This next task was team skiing up the hill. Let's just say that this mission did not end successfully. :)
Now it's "Shoot the empty beer cans down with a water gun." Sounds easier than it was... especially when your water gun doesn't work!! Here we see Mette hard at work while Kristin curses her water gun in multiple languages...
Time to hike up a slippery tarp ... this was also one of the last tasks of the afternoon, and not easy to do even when you're entirely sober!
After Mette "won" her bath, the rest of the group ate lunch at the Mørch house.
After lunch, we all headed back into the city where Mette was interviewed by a fake talk show host about her plans for the upcoming marriage. This, of course, was a complete suprise ... and all captured on video. While waiting for the talkshow to begin, Mette and Christina "horse around" with some random props...
After the talkshow and dinner, we headed over to Sam's Bar for a little Danish karaoke. Yes, I sang at one point too ... though I had no clue what I was saying!! :)
