weddings

Bachelorette parties in Norway are someone odd. The goal is to make the future bride do a bunch of embarrassing things all day. In the park the other day, such a party made her come over to us (strangers to her) and recite instructions on how to find and pick mushrooms. It was probably more embarrassing for her because most of us didn't know Norwegian and had no idea what she was saying.

Many of the party games seem to involve making a fool of yourself by saying something random to strangers or by doing something weird in front of passersby on the sidewalk. The parties are apparently pretty common, and the brides are easy to spot because her friends dress her up in clown clothes and such.

Below is a pic of the mushroom bride, talking to another group of strangers and then hanging out with her friends.
