Many of the guests shared snaps of the multi-day celebration to Instagram throughout the weekend, giving a peek into the 80s-themed party at the resort’s pool, a spa morning, plenty of PDA from the bride- and groom-to-be and multiple group meals.
It’s unclear what, if any, COVID-19 safety precautions were in place for the gathering.

As always, Young showed up dressed to impress, donning neon makeup, a visor, a fanny pack and leg warmers to accompany a white one-piece bathing suit reading “Wife of the Party” for the 80s-themed event; a white mini dress with rhinestone-trimmed cutouts paired with a high pony for a night out; and a long white gown with cascading ruffled layers and a corset top for the group dinner on the last night.
“Every single thing was perfect, from the 80’s theme pool party at the cabanas to the private dinner to the spa day, and even just our room was perfect,” Tarek wrote inhis own post.
“Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend and lucky to have close friends that feel like family to us,” he continued. “Definitely a weekend we’ll never forget and to anyone who’s considering a joint bachelor & bachelorette party… DO IT.”
El Moussa and Young first met in July 2019 andgot engaged a year later, when he popped the question during a romantic boat trip to Catalina Island, California.
Though they’ve been planning the wedding for quite some time — and teasing fans along the way — the couple revealed last month that they had decided to “scrap everything” andgo in another directionwhen it came to planning their special day, which they’ve shared is “happening soon.”

In a candid Instagram post, Young explained, “I haven’t fully shared this but in the beginning, Tarek and I hired a wedding planner, sent out our save the dates, and then after rethinking some things we decided to completely change everything.” They did so because Young had been “so stressed,” she shared.
“We decided to go in a different direction with the wedding planner, hired a new one, changed the wedding location, and sent out new save the dates that said ‘just kidding’ on them,” she revealed.
In his own post, Tarek wrote: “Basically when we first started wedding planning, I noticed that she was super stressed out even with the help of our wedding planner and I could just tell something was off.”
