When Rebecca Coleman was planning her wedding two years ago, she decided to skip the peen-themed bachelorette party and try something a little more unusual: paintball.
Specifically, paintball played while wearing hideous bridesmaid dresses.

"Like me, my friends don't think of stilettos, cocktail dresses, and table service when they think of fun... it's got to be something more outlandish," Coleman told BuzzFeed Life.

And the group of Virginia friends — many of whom are current or former members of the Charlottesville Derby Dames — were psyched to play paintball in honor of Coleman's upcoming wedding.
"I loved that this party could be done on a budget — no one was being asked to book a flight to Vegas — and seemed to fit the personality of the wonderful women I'm lucky to be surrounded by," she said. "I had no doubt they'd be up for it, although many of us — myself included — had never played paintball before."

"Gauntlets were thrown, challenges made. There was probably an equal amount of trash talking in the days leading up to the party about who would have the most horrific dress as there was about who would dominate on the field of play."
