With just days to go before their wedding, Guy Ritchie and his fiancée Jacqui Ainsley went their separate ways to celebrate their stag and hen dos. The British director and his group of friends hopped across the Channel to western France, while Jacqui and her hens stayed on home territory in the UK.
The bride-to-be, who has three children with her filmmaker beau, documented her hen party with a string of photos on Instagram. And judging by the snaps, Jacqui and her girlfriends looked to be enjoying a girlie getaway in the English countryside.

The 33-year-old model was in charge of driving her pals to their destination, and happily shared a photo of herself behind the wheel. In keeping with the bridal theme, Jacqui donned a pretty white lace maxi dress topped off with a floral crown.
Arriving at their leafy destination, the girls struck a pose outside the country house, with Jacqui being held up by her "gals".

The hen decorations seemed to focus on Jacqui's future husband Guy – the man behind Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels – as another photo was of a movie quote about marriage.
The girls, who wore matching T-shirts emblazoned with the hashtag "welovejax", also ventured out on a countryside walk, followed by a night sipping on cocktails.
Jacqui showed off her enviable figure in another snap, of herself posing in front of a lake in a white bikini that had "Mrs Ritchie" printed on the back.

Guy, meanwhile, and his stags flew to Bordeaux where they indulged in a wine tasting session. The 46-year-old director shared a picture of himself standing in front of lines of barrels and captioned it: "#jaxguyjuly ear we goo!"
He also shared a close-up picture of a wine bottle from the year he was born, 1968, and wrote alongside it: "Good year that."
The stags looked to have had the time of their lives, as they basked in the sun following their day of drinking.

Guy and Jacqui are set to marry before the end of the month, as the hashtag they've created for their wedding cites July. Previous reports have claimed that the lovebirds will say "I do" in their country retreat Ashcombe House in Wiltshire, which may well have been where Jacqui celebrated her hen.
"The guest list is jaw-dropping," a source told the Mirror. "It's like the Oscars. If even half of them come, it will be the party of the year. Guy is well connected and liked, so it's no surprise there are so many people invited to his wedding."

Notable names on the guest list are said to include Guy's close friends David and Victoria Beckham, Sting and his wife Trudie Styler and Hollywood royalty George and Amal Clooney and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, meanwhile, is said to be planning the menu.
