Somehow - in my 31 years of life, I've managed to avoid being a bridesmaid. This could be due to my excessive work schedule and it could be a sign I'm not well liked - either way - it's worked and I appreciate whatever it is that has kept me from this awful tradition.
Well - I can now officially say - I have been a bridesmaid! On of my core group of babes tied the knot this pat weekend and I was honored to stand by her side as she married the love of her life. And let me tell you - I did the full bridesmaid. The whole day of makeup and hair and photos and the dress and shoes - all of it - full commitment to the part. I even did neutral nails. ME, who always has full glitter or neon - did neutral nails.
And I have to say - I hope I never have to do it again.
Jessica truly is the nicest, kindest, most low maintenance friend and bride in the history of history. She's also stupid gorgeous, which is just rude. My dress was ridiculously inexpensive, the entire weekend was beyond affordable, the wedding weekend was a dream. There will never be another bride in my life who is less bridezilla than Jess.
And that is why I cannot ever be in another wedding. I love you my circle of best babes - but I fear Jessica set us all up for failure.
Now leading up to the wedding Jess wanted a Bridezilla shirt. She claims it was going to be fitting. For context - the first thing I asked was what color nail polish to wear because I'm famous for neon or full glitter. Her answer? Wear neon! JESSICA I CANT WEAR NEON IN PHOTOS! The worst bridezilla ever. Shoes? Just wear nude, or silver or whatever. Ladies and gentlemen - the opposite of bridezilla.
Hopefully - enough people don't like me that my days as a bridesmaid are limited. Not to mention I'm 31, and although I look 22, I may be past bridesmaid prime? I was spoiled by this horrendously amazing bride and now I fear any other experience will be traumatic.
Thank you my Thing 1 - for singlehandedly giving me the best bridesmaid experience ever and setting me up for future bridesmaid failures. Thankfully, I'm not that great of a person, so the future experiences should be limited.
Tell me your best/worst/most entertaining bridezilla experiences!
