Just when I thought I'd gotten thru life being a bridesmaid

[Deleted]

I hear ya. I feel like I spent my 20s in bridesmaids' dresses. I am very much enjoying my 30s as an obligation-free party guest.
(Of course I would love to be in a wedding if it was someone I cared about, blah blah blah)

I'm a semi professional bridesmaid. In these parts, it's a very expensive job. But it's fun!

Yay dresses for J!

I think my one time trip down the aisle as a bridesmaid will be the only one. I left my unmarried friends in CA and most of my new friends in Portland are married already.

I've been a bridesmaid 6 times and I'd expect to be one atleast 3 more times. Yikes!

I've only been a bridesmaid twice, because most of my closest friends got married while I was in China. I was sad to miss their weddings, but not sad to miss having to spend all that money on travel and dresses.

the correct term now is brides matron you are no longer a maid

[Regina Philange]

awww yay! I cant wait to see pics of you guys all fancy!

I actually love being a bridesmaid! I've had to give two matron of honor speeches. See guys, speeches, that is another reason there shouldn't be "dry" weddings.

I am so over being a bridesmaid. A lot of my good friends are still unmarried in their 30s, so I feel like my days are not behind me. I'd rather just be a guest these days!

I hate being a bridesmaid, it's so effing expensive. I just want to go to the wedding and drink and have fun! :drink:

When is the wedding? If it is not for awhile J might be big enough for a CREWCUTS DRESS!!!!

Also, why did all of my good friends get married before I had kids? My kids are too cute to not be flower girls. Harper is going to start losing teeth in a few years, and start looking goofy, her flower girl days are peaking! -Obnoxious but true.

It's August 3. They just got engaged Memorial Day weekend! Whirlwind engagement!

So, looks like Janie and Jack it is.. oh darn. lol. I'll probably hit up ebay.

Wow, that is hasty.

J will be so cute.

I've never been a bridesmaid and most of my friends are married now so I doubt I ever will be. H has been a groomsman three times now so I've been through all the rehearsal dinners and stuff.

I have never been a bridesmaid. I was supposed to be for XH's sister, but we were stationed in Oklahoma and his leave got cancelled last minute. There was a lot of drama involved, but it was completely unavoidable. I had already paid for the dress and everything.

Hmmm... Is she pregnant!?

I just got asked to be a bridesmaid out of state too! I've never been one, so I'm excited. I did the same think thinking about a cute suit for William, rather than a dress.

That was my first thought too! They are born again (which I am still trying to get used to, since BIL used to be wild), so I guess it could go either way.

Hmmmm... so maybe they just want to get married right away so they can have sex if they are virgins?
