the best bridal shower there ever was...and i'm obviously being sarcastic

today was my bridal shower and i cannot even begin to describe how it all went down...i swear, sometimes i wonder why i'm not on a reality show...okay...this is basically the story of the best bridal shower there ever was and by best, i really mean, not really the best despite my bridal party's best efforts to give me an unforgettable bridal shower...they just couldn't control nor anticipate what one of the huynh sisters would end up doing...so here i begin my story and i wish it really was one of those fake stories, but no, it's really what really happened...

so i wake up this morning all excited about my bridal shower...my sister "N" told me she was going to pick me up at 10:30 am so by 10 am, i was dressed and ready to go...i couldn't contain my excitement...i had seventeen gfs who were attending and i was seriously excited to see everyone...

so around 10 am, i get a call from "N" asking me if i had accidentally taken back a dress that i given her awhile back...i respond no and tell her i'm ready to go...

around 10:30 am, i call "N" and begin to feel that something was not right...around 10:50 am, my other sister "L" calls me that they're now on their way to pick me up which kind of annoys me cause i had told all my friends to be at castaway [the buffet joint we were having the bridal shower] at 11 am and i hate HATE to be late. so "N" picks me with "L" in "L's" car which makes me think something is really wrong.

in the car, N informs me that L had puked in her car that morning and that was why they were driving L's car...i'm like...WTF??? L then informs me that she was still drunk...so i'm like...that's great....like seriously???? so L is all hungover in the car and i'm like...this is going to be great....

so as we're driving up the hill to castaway, there's this poster of smokey the bear with a sign stating that there was "EXTREME" fire danger due to the crazy fires that has been going on in the mountains...i'm like...my bridal party is getting more fabulous with each minute...

so we finally get to the restaurant at 11:20 am and of course all my friends are there which leaves me feeling really bad cause i had told all the girls to be there on time and i was fucking late which i really hate to be...

so we get settled in the restaurant and get our grub on...i proceed to just get clams, shrimp, and crab legs because i believe in getting my money's worth at a buffet...i managed to clean up two full plates and quickly wished i was bulimic so i can throw up what i just ate but alas, i'm not...

so in the midst of eating, "N" decides to play bridal shower games...she thought it was a genius idea to let "L" come up with the questions and have the girls answer them...so the first question "L" comes up with [and i'm not even fucking joking here] was:

1. what was Lo's ex-husband's name?

all the girls at the table stop whatever they're doing and is in complete shock at the first question...i even overheard one girl saying, "OMG...i cannot believe she just brought up Lo's divorce!!!!" and another one saying, "did she seriously just ask that?" i quickly looked at everyone's faces and there was this look of horror and shock and disbelief from the group...watching everyone feel bad for me made me start laughing but it wasn't that normal laughter where i was giggling...instead, i just found the whole situation crazy funny that i started to laugh but no sound was coming out and instead, tears began to roll down my face...and when this happened, all the girls thought i was upset at my sister for bringing up such a taboo topic...it felt very "Rachel Getting Married" where ann hathaway just brings up taboo topics while everyone is in a jovial mood ....the girls begin to ask me if i was okay...and of course i was...honestly, i'm not the type who would ever get mad at my sister and i know she didn't say that intentionally to hurt me and quite honestly, i wasn't hurt but found it really amusing...

basically, "L" was supposed to come up with questions pertaining to me and my fiance such as "what does Lo and V like to do together?" or "where did V take Lo on their first date?" but of course, that wouldn't be my sister...

she would ask questions like, "what's Lo's middle name?" or "what is Lo's nickname in High school?" and i would look at the girls faces and they would have these blank expressions cause who in the world would even know the answers to such questions?

so after the games, i got to open my presents and that was really fun...and although we were supposed to leave at 2 pm, at 1:30 pm, "L" decides that she needs to puke so i look at the girls and tell them, "okay guys...i gotta go...one of the huynh sisters need to throw up...thanks for coming! and see u guys at the wedding!!!"

and that is the story of the best bridal shower there ever was...i swear, i can't imagine my bridal shower, u know, going smoothly...and at the end of the day, it reminds me why i love my sisters...they truly amuse me...

btw...to my sister "N"...thanks for hosting the event! the location was awesome despite the fire danger and the potential of u know, dying up there in the hills...

to "J"...thanks for making all those awesome bridal shower favors...

to "T"...thanks for all those cool prizes...

to "L"...thanks for really making my bridal shower uber memorable and u better not be drunk at my wedding...considering that you'll be emceeing the event that night...
