I told my wedding party
Team Zissou, that I didn’t want a bridal shower. Truly, honestly did not want one. And like the good little boys and girls they are, they thankfully did NOT throw me a bridal shower. Instead... two of my hot-as-balls bridesmaids,
Lex &
Titfield, kidnapped me this past Saturday morning and took me on an adventure... a little adventure they aptly titled: “
Britt's celebration of everything going on in her life since she got engaged Shower.” When they told me that's what the day was all about, I was so touched. Like, gonna shed a tear, touched. And I didn't even know what they had planned yet! So we were literally driving up the 405 freeway and I had NO idea where the hell we were headed. Based on the
CLUES they had given me the week leading up to the surprise, I thought for sure we were going to Disneyland (Lex can get us in for free at any time 'cause she's the shit). But the surprise certainly was not Disneyland...

| My first wine tasting EVER! |
By the time we turned onto the 101 North going toward Ventura/Santa Barbara it took me a solid 20 minutes to figure out the surprise... and all of a sudden I shouted, "
Are we going wine tasting?!?!?" And they screamed, "Yes!" and I screamed "Oh-my-balls!" and they yelled "Yes!" and I was like, "I'm so fucking excited!!!" And off we went! In the five years I have lived in Southern California, I had never been wine tasting. Which is shocking because I'm such a wine whore. (Yes, I would literally fuck for wine if it came to that). Knowing my girls, I pretty much figured there was going to be something "crazy" added to the mix of tasting wine. And I was very right. When we arrived at the first tasting at Gainey, the ladies told me that after every tasting, we were going to do an America's Next Top Model-style photoshoot with a strange prop... And I was like, THAT'S AWESOME! Seriously, how rad are my friends? Photoshoot #1: The Bear-Cat Necklace

Next stop was Buttonwood Winery, where I told out wine pourer how much I loved the fact that I could say "butt" and "wood" in the same word. She was thankfully amused. Then I asked our other pourer if considered himself to be a "red-head" or a "ginger." And he was also thankfully amused. So A+ for Buttonwood for having awesome wine, and employing pourers with a sense of humor. Also at Buttonwood, we ran into a Bachelorette Party, so I clearly had to get a picture with the bride to be (they were TONS of fun):
 |
| By the look on her face, you can tell she thought I was a tad nuts. But she embraced it. |
We decided we needed to drink more, so we said eff the Buttonwood photoshoot, and headed straight to Firestone winery.... where we drank an entire bottle of wine and I proceeded to do this:
 |
| I was bombed by 3:00 PM. |
Then I was informed there was one more surprise... so we hopped in the car and headed into the middle of nowhere. Then all of a sudden we came upon a gated entrance to somewhere magical... we had arrived at NEVERLAND RANCH, bitches. And we were going to do the ultimate ANTM Photoshoot... MJ style. With a clown wig. And some fingerless pleather gloves. Check it:
 |
| Love you, MJ! |
 |
| Lex is triple-propping it. |
 |
| I was like, "Hurry take the picture before a security guard shoots me!" |
 |
| Titfield pays our respects to MJ with a message... BUT she nearly didn't finish it because the security guard told her they'd fine her $1200! Then she proceeded to say, "Well, I only have $1150, so we better get going." |
|
|
 |
| Everyone else was doing it! |
After we left Neverland Ranch, we headed to Solvang for pastry, coffee, and a photoshoot with Hans Christian Anderson.
By this point, Titfield was wasted, I was pretty much hungover, and Lex was probably tired of driving our drunk asses around wine country, so we decided to head back to LA for some animal-style fries, and some Betty White on SNL. I couldn't have asked for a more amazing day. It was filled with laughs, booze, silly pictures, and moments we will remember for the rest of our days. So Lex, Titfield... thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this for me. I am truly touched and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect "bridal shower." I love you, ladies!
