Phase 4: The Bachelor(ette) Weekend
Oh boy. The weekend of all weekends has come: the last fling before the ring. Come prepared with an iron-lined stomach, multiple outfit options and a willingness to cooperate within a large group of people. This weekend is all about the future bride or groom's wishes and you are a slave, albeit a happy slave, to their requests. Toss all preconceived vacation ideas out the window. Surrender to the party and enjoy, but know that your wallet will take a beating. Set clear delineations as to who will pay for what ahead of time to decrease those awkward Venmo moments. Spreadsheets recommended.
