Bachelorette Party!

As you all know if you read my first blog, my sister is getting married in, oh my, about forty days. So although the bride-to-be is not supposed to have much involvement in the planning of the bachelorette party, my sister told us exactly what she wanted to do. Good thing she did because I am not good with planning these types of things; I am lucky that I made it through the bridal shower (bride-to-be and bridal party in image). She loves country music she was “tossing around” different ideas, maybe going out to the country bar in Commack, NY, but decided that she just wanted it to be her and her close friends and family at home.


My sister is big into cooking. She loves to create different foods and see what people have to say about her cooking. She also loves to have a good time and dance. She decided on having celebrity DJ Chef Mark Weiss come and do her bachelorette party. Although a little expensive, it is a cheaper alternative to renting a limo and spending the night with strangers in the city or something like that.


It looks like it is going to be a lot of fun and the food he is making sounds very tasty. If you have never heard of DJ Chef check-out this website (http://www.fourstarchef.com/home.html) because I had never heard of him before my sister mentioned him to me. Besides being good-looking, he looks like he will put on a good show for us ladies.

Grammar Point –

Pronouns are used to take the place of a noun. When writing a paragraph and the writer is referring to the same person over and over again, instead of writing the person’s name again and again it is good to replace it with a pronoun.

Edit the Paragraph replacing the nouns with pronouns.
