| Ah, being a bridesmaid |
| 01.31.07 (9:59 am) [edit] |
|
I'm a bridesmaid for one of my friends that is part of the "core" but we're not very close. Anyway, the girls from the "core" got together for dinner last night, and Air told us she bought her wedding dress. And she had tried calling "everyone" to tell us the exciting news. Somehow, I don't think she called me since my cell phone never rang, and I didn't miss any of her calls at home. I don't think I want to be her bridesmaid anymore, but it's not like I can back out. I'll be spending money on a dress I don't need. And now she wants to go to Vegas for her stagette. As fun as it would be to go to Vegas with my friends, I would rather be spending the money on other things right now. I am sure it can work out to be a fairly cheap trip, but still...I have bigger things to be saving my money for.

I think being a maid of honour is okay, but just a regular bridesmaid? I don't know. This morning I realised I will probably have tan lines for the wedding, and I will have to be careful all summer!

It's not your wedding, rock the tan lines! Hahaha!
Seriously though, a little self tanner, or a few trips to the tanning salon can rectify the "tan line" situation... I think you really just don't want to be in this wedding. How many bridesmaids is she having? Would she really miss one?

I hate tan lines! Well, I don't want any on my shoulders and any that are too high on the chest. I still have some crazy ones from the summer. They take forever to go away!!
I could care less whether I was in the wedding or not, but I think if I bowed out of being a bridesmaid, it wouldn't bode well for the friendship! I think she is having 4 bridesmaids, including me??

Girl, it sounds like we have both spent a lot of money on something and are having regrets about it!!! LOL I SOOO know the feeling!
I think you should definitely stay in the wedding for your friend. When is it, btw?? You are right, it wouldn't do your friendship well at all.

This wedding is going to be September. Thankfully, I am not the only bridesmaid who is worried about the cost.
Are you still regretting your major purchase??

It will be a fun wedding I'm sure, but I would have been just as happy being a regular guest!

I really wish I didn't accept to be a bridesmaid, but there is no way to back out now. I set up a couple of my distant friends and now they are getting married. So I know no one else but them and now I have all of these events coming up that I just don't look forward to because I will only know the bride. I honestly dont feel like I should even be invited to the wedding! My husband is really not into the whole thing and since I am in the wedding party he'll be stag most of the time. Is it rude for him not to join me? He's met the bride and groom before but he barely knows them.

As the person who set up the bride and groom, of course you should be invited to the wedding!
As for whether your husband committing a faux-pas by not attending, I guess it depends how close the couple is to you. The bride obviously holds you in high regard if you're her bridesmaid. I don't think your husband needs to go, but since you can't really back out of it now, you might as well try to make the best of it.
(That's what I did anyhow...I am still a little bitter about the wedding I was in, but it made my friend happy.)
