Our Joint Stag & Hen Night

Last night we celebrated our Blues Brothers themed Joint Stag & Hen Do, and we had such a good time. I literally had to race home from work, jump in the shower and squeeze into my little black dress. I teamed it with a fedora hat, stockings, heels and a red and white garter. Hubby wore a black suit with white shirt and a fedora hat.

Not everyone managed to dress up, but it was good to have everyone there - even my brother and his wife came out, and I've never been out with him before! We started out at a bar in town, and moved to a club at 11pm, staying there until 3am. It's a good thing I booked the day off work today!

It was such a fun night though, and great to see everyone again. Most of the people that came worked with us at the pub that closed down in November, and it's been hard to find time to meet up recently, so it was good to catch up too.

Anyway, I thought I'd post a few photos of our fantastic night:

Quietly Excited

I can't wait to leave work today, because at 7pm we're going out for our Blues Brothers inspired Joint Stag & Hen do! Yay!!!

It's been quite hard to rally people together on this, because it's a Monday night. Unfortunately Mondays are the only nights Hubby can take off work at the moment, since his Chef de Partie quit last week. Don't even get me started on that, because we had hoped everything was now working out with his staff. Now he's frantically trying to train his Sous Chef to manage the kitchen on our wedding day (a big party is booked in at the restaurant), and for our honeymoon. Hmmm...

Anyway, back to tonight. So a lot of people can't make it, because they can't take tomorrow off work, but we're still going to have a great time. I've booked the day off tomorrow, when I fully intend to upload all my photos of this night of mayhem.

We thought a Blues Brothers theme would be both effective and cheap for people to join in with. Hubby has his black suit, white shirt, black tie and fedora hat, and I have my black dress (which I bought last week), black heels, black stockings and fedora hat... AND my red and white garter which I bought especially for our Stag & Hen.

4 hours to go...
