The Bachelorette Finale

Did you enter my $75 Shabby Apple giveaway? It closes on July 26.

Normally on Monday, I have been having a Hostess with the Mostess series, well that will be posted tomorrow since the finale of the Bachelorette aired last night.

Curacao is a great place to visit and a picture perfect spot for the finale of this season's Bachelorette. Sean and I visited Curacao last summer, almost a year ago exactly. It is a lovely island. 

The time has come for Emily to pick one of the two remaining guys. I don't have predictions, I don't have any guesses and I certainly didn't head over to Reality Steve to cheat to get the big engagement or lack of news. 

Of course the meeting between Jef and Emily's family went fine, blessing given, all the questions received the right answers. I did like that purple ombre dress she wore for that meeting and the outfit she wore when the episode was first show, the chambray and the pink maxi skirt, very cute!

Arie's meeting with the family started off with less brownie points for me because he didn't bring any flowers unlike Jef did except for that box. Really Arie, a box? Wrong move Arie! Was the meeting not just the most awkward time and it just made you cringe?  I think Emily's brother's comments about Arie being skilled is very spot on, he just isn't real or genuine to me.  

Was anyone else a little grossed by Emily and Arie kissing? 

I think it was important that both Jef and Arie meet Ricki, because Emily said if they didn't get along with her, then their relationship would stop right then and there. So if Emily was willing to accept a proposal without having either guy meet her daughter, does that make sense?

The day date with Jef, I loved her neon yellow skirt with the chambray top.

If you want the skirt, it is by Planet Blue and is the Two Slits Skirt for $108 although they only sell it in blue. The evening portion of the date was super, that book was a sweet gesture and moving on.

The big talk with Chris... Ok, Emily was loosing me a bit and finally I caught up to her and the thoughts that were coming out of her mouth. I was yelling at the TV at this point telling Emily that she should have gotten rid of Arie last week and kept Sean on for this week. The telling Arie before the final date is very similar to Ali's season, where she said good-bye to Chris once she realized that she loved Roberto and she didn't go on the final date with Chris. 

Arie makes a love potion and yet he has no clue that it won't work for him and Emily.. poor Arie and plus he is so confident he is getting engaged tomorrow, oh Arie you have no idea what is coming. Plus the awkward obligatory must sit on the bench and look passive and pensive while waiting for Emily.

And then the break-up, it happened, he was pissed, she was sad and time to move on. 

Oh Neil Lane, lucky you you only have to meet with one suitor, not two. Less money that ABC has to shell out if they do that, one ring is definitely less expensive than two.

Gorgeous finale dress that Emily wore, a really gorgeous dress by Jean Fares!

Is everyone in agreement with me?

And yes he proposes and she accepts after a majorly long dramatic pause and thank you ABC for picking the cheesiest song ever to play for the recap of their relationship.
There you have it folks, the entire season of the Bachelorette recapped on my blog. Will I do it again? No. Was it fun? Sorta.
So we will wait and see how long their relationship plays out, I hope for a long time but as we all know these relationships rarely make it to an actual wedding.

P.S. Some commentary provided by two husbands on last night's episode, first Jef looks like he is 12 and also he is a douche straight up. 

P.P.S. My husband said, "I give it a month."

Oh my weekend it was awesome. Hung out in Temecula with these beautiful ladies, Kasey, Jamie and Katie. My heart was so full, happy and blessed after hanging out with them all afternoon. And Kasey and I found out that our husbands are in the same Masters program!

and saw this Batman car.
