Welcome to Cosmo Bachelorettes, a column that peeks inside some of the coolest bachelorette parties around the world, hosted by some of the chicest people on the planet. We get up close and personal by going deep with the soon-to-be-newlyweds, revealing behind-the-scenes secrets and all the candid photos you won\u2019t see on Instagram.<\/p>\n

Lauren Chan and her partner, filmmaker Hayley Kosan<\/a>, could have let their opposing WNBA loyalties become a sticking point. Instead, the couple, who\u2019ve been together for three years, used their rivalry as an opportunity\u2014to host an epic joint bachelorette party<\/a> at July\u2019s annual Pride Night game between the New York Liberty (Lauren\u2019s team) and the Phoenix Mercury (Hayley\u2019s favorite).<\/p>\n

\u201cMy pride was hard-fought, and I\u2019m happy to have arrived at this chapter in my life,\u201d says Lauren, who\u2019s also a TV personality and fashion entrepreneur. \u201cIf there\u2019s a way to make everything I do a bit more gay, I will.\u201d <\/p>\n

Plus, having both been married before, Lauren and Hayley were eager to challenge conventional ideas around all things weddings. \u201cSomeone asked what Hayley was doing for her bachelorette,\u201d explains Lauren, \u201cand I said, \u2018What do you mean? It\u2019s our bachelorette!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair used the night to go full send, capping off the fun by dancing with 50 friends at Singers, an LGBTQIA+-run bar in Brooklyn. \u201cAll my friends kept handing me tequila beverages,\u201d says Lauren. \u201cI\u2019m actually surprised no one made us do shots. Maybe they didn\u2019t want to see us in a bad place!\u201d
