| Food hangover |
| 08.14.07 (9:32 am) [edit] |

I am still recovering from this past weekend of eating. I hate feeling full all the time when my body actually needs food!! There is a barbeque next week where the senior managers here will be flipping burgers. Uuuugh, beef. Uuuuugh, grease. I've been feeling extremely warm lately. My body temperature tends to rise when I work out a lot. I don't know if that's the reason or if it's from all the eating this weekend! What I really want is a s'more!! Since it was raining the night we were tenting it, we didn't do the s'mores thing at the fire :( Bridezilla's 3rd stagette is this weekend. I would really like to skip out on it. I think I may. Not only have I been to one, but the dress I have to wear for the wedding is the most unflattering dress I've ever had to wear. EVER! The dress ends about 3 inches above my ankles, and I can grab two fistfuls of fabric from my waist. The dress is shapeless. It'd be the perfect maternity dress, but right now, my stomach is flat. I have no gut! I have no belly! The bridesmaid dress isn't flattering on any of the bridesmaids, really. However, it looks fantastic on the bride. It is totally her style! And the reason why I am not getting the dress altered is because it's going back to the bride right after the wedding! We seem to have the sit at the bust, but that is where is ends. BWAHAHAHA Enough about the dress... I am going to be in training today at work. I have 8 pieces of documentation to produce by the end of June. I wish they had given me that deadline before I started my plan. Now I get to produce sub-par documentation in a rush, and I will have to think twice about taking any vacation in the first half of 2008!! GRR! |

More than one stagette is absurd. I think someone should have spoken up about the dresses.

Bridezilla and one of the bridesmaids found the dresses on sale, and there happened to be one for everyone. I think that was the reason for those dresses. But seriously, all the bridesmaids have different body types and we range from size 2 - 8. The bridesmaid that was there at the time is kind of a pushover, and the dress looked okay on her. What gets my goat is that I specifically said empire waists are the death of me. And what will I be wearing?? Something with empire waist of course!
The first two stagettes didn't count, BTW.

Good god, what is wrong with that woman? How many events is she going to have? It's just unseemly. Why didn't the first two count?
Empire waistlines are unflattering on a wide range of body types. Three inches above your ankles? Ick.

I hope you exact revenge if you ever get married.

Thankfully, the wedding is only a few weeks away. There is the last stagette, the rehearsal, maybe the rehearsal dinner, the wedding, and then the post-wedding brunch. And then she should be gone for a month for the honeymoon! Woo!
(I hope I don't get photographed much from the neck down on her wedding day! BWAHAHAA)

I don't think I could do what she's done to her wedding party to anyone! I doubt she would do the same thing for any of her friends if she was a bridesmaid for any of us.

Why would you be returning the dress to the bride? In the US, the bridesmaids pay for their own dresses. (that way you can burn it afterwards)
Brides deliberately pick the most unflattering dress for the bridesmaids so that they don't outshine her. I guess you can be thankful it's not peach taffeta with lots of ruffles, rosettes, and bows?

The bride loooves the bridesmaid dresses -- enough to want mine (because it fits her) after the wedding. If she changes her mind, I will be really ticked off! I've heard so many etiquette things in regards to bridesmaids dresses, even for North America, like the bride should contribute to some or all of the cost of the dress if she is the one dictating what we're wearing. We're all wearing the exact same dress. It wasn't like...this is my colour...you can wear any dress you want as long as its that colour.
I think I would rather go for the peach taffeta with all the decorations! (Well, as long as it wasn't empire waisted...)

Never heard the bride ever contributing for the bridesmaid dresses. That's part of the raw deal of the 'honor' - major cash outlay. The latest rage is that the bride makes a decision about color (ie black) and some style requests (like not strapless). Then they can pick a dress that is flattering to everyone's body.

Some..."honour!" BWAHAHAA I wish my friend was following the latest rage...She did indeed choose black for her bridesmaids but she chose the style. A fellow bridesmaid laughed when she saw the dress on me... "It's so long on you!" When my best friend got married, she bought the fabric for everyone and found us an inexpensive seamstress and we had some custom made for us. In Chinese culture, the bride pays for everything for her bridesmaids. (And the guy's family pays for the wedding.)

what happens if you're 1/2 Asian and 1/2 "American". Do the bridesmaids pay 1/2 of the cost of the dress?

I think eloping to avoid all the hassle would be the only solution!! But personally, I wouldn't feel right about asking someone to participate in my wedding and to have them pay gobs of money!
