i am the brides maid for my sisters wedding and i think it will be fun. I mean i get to share in her special day. Does that sound corny? I thought so.

You mean to tell me there are people who are bitter over the fact they WEREN’T chosen to be a bridesmaid? I am the maid of honor in my little sister’s wedding next week, and I have something to say to all those aspiring bridesmaids out there.

Run. The wedding will eat your soul. And if held in December, your Christmas as well.

I don’t think so, La Bella. I’m sure that in the future the bride will be busy appreciating the lovely composition of her wedding photos and won’t give even a passing glance to the fact that you were in navy.

? On my computer, there is not even the blank spot that inexplicably turns up for some of the items the Manolo displays (which are viewable only at lunch hours). What am I missing here? Obviously, a dress of some hilarity, which I would love to see.

OTOH, I have a question about the “not matching the bridal party.” I was asked to be a bridesmaid to my sister-in-law, but as I was up to my eyeballs in making her dress, I declined, and she certainly understood and appreciated why. I was one of the readers at her wedding, however. I did pick an outfit in navy blue (which I do not wear) to coordinate with the wedding party, as I was in all the pictures, and had no desire to stand out like a sore thumb. Was this a mistake?

I just got back from a wedding where the bride wore shoes not unlike those in the pic — they were actually white PVC go-go boots, underneath her traditional wedding dress!

yikes that dress reminds me of one i saw at my cousin’s wedding last summer. of course i saw more hooker heels than i’ve ever seen in my life at that wedding. plus the mother of the bride decided that she too had to dress just like the bridesmaids in a lilac strapless ballgown complete with the most sparkly hair ornaments i’ve ever seen on one head. not classy at all.

Forget about dancing! How would you even sit down??

LOL at that pic!!! Classic!
Another tip inspired by that get-up: if you saw the “dress” recently sported by your local streetwalker or corner-worker, its a no-go.
Can you imagine trying to dance at the reception in those shoes?!? The ankle injuries! OY!

Hmmm, good tip, Omnibus. I was thinking you could steal a hat and some gloves from one of the old betties and snarkily tell your doppelganger that you are wearing the original vintage design.

“Too bad you could only afford the copy, honey!”
