That's hilarious. I'd love to receive a letter like that. It'd be great reading material.
I was supposed to be MOH in the wedding of a good friend but she went crazy a few months before the wedding, cancelled everything and decided to have a destination wedding instead. It would have cost us at least a few thousand to attend and we would've had to take vacation days and everything. No thanks. She ended up doing some other shady things. Outside of catering and all that jazz, her venue also charged $35 per person just to get them in the door. She contacted all of her guests and told them they had to send her $35 and get it to her at least a week before the wedding so she could pay the venue.
I was asked to be in a wedding once and went shopping for bridesmaid dresses with the bride. She kept pulling all these swanky dresses where the fabric only would look good on someone who was 5 feet tall and 50 lbs. (I was tall and was slim but these dresses hid nothing) After about the 4th one, she looked at me and said "I'm going to go try this one on because this is the one I love and it will look good on me. Apparently having you as a bridesmaid means I can't have what I invisioned for my wedding." Needless to say, we are no longer friends and surprise surprise she divorced 1 yr later.

Uhhhhh, I have a good friend names "L" whose sister just got engaged to a guy named Jake and they are getting married next summer in Colorado. The engagement party location is the only thing about this that doesn't make sense. I just emailed her the link.
I love how the spelling/grammar errors spilled over into her saying they're having a "bridal show" vs a bridal shower. I'm sure it will be more of a show anyway

wow, you know what? I'd be glad to get that email because I would bail as fast as freaking possible.
My sil sent a similar email when she was expecting her first born. I laughed and was annoyed. To put it in perspective, I was getting married on the same day as her EDD. I was okay with it all and she was freaking out.
I'm surprised she's not scheduling OBGYN appointments with them to make sure they're on proper BC. Can you imagine if one of them dare get pregnant before her 'epic day'?
My friend who was in my wedding got pregnant a few months after I got engaged. She would be 7 months pregnant at the wedding. I didnt care one bit,and I was happy for her, but my mom was freaking out that she would mess up the "look" of the wedding.
After I got engaged, my mom was showing off pictures of me, fiancee, etc to friends at her gym. One picture included a very close friend and my mom mentioned something about how she'll probably be a bridesmaid. One of the trainer acted all surprised and ask why she would as she is "plus sized" and that you usually picked your best looking friends for the wedding party as pictures are forever. My mom said something about how I would probably chose my closest friends. Trainer said that was "quaint". Mom and friends all rolled eyes apparantly.

That would be such a coincidence. You have to update us if this is your friend's sister!

OMG the grammar made my head hurt. I would back out in a hot second.
I also agree with gooser. I was just in a wedding that cost several thousand dollars, where I wasn't allowed to cut my hair for six months prior, etc. etc. Had the bride been upfront about the commitment required I could have at least better prepared rather than being constantly stressed by small details. I didn't get that stressed over my own wedding!
If I got that email as someone being considered for the 'honor' of being her bridesmaid, I'd definitely be saying 'seeee ya' right back at her. I don't get brides who think their day is going to be so magically unique, perfect and exceptional. At this point, I find weddings sweet but mostly boring and I'm so glad to be past most of them.

The wedding plans lead me to believe that this chick had a good upbringing and attended decent schools. So why the fuck does she not have a proper grasp of the English language?

I was thinking the same thing.
But then when I went through the "this has to be made up" phase, I also thought that someone who would make something like this up to cause a stir on the internet also would be likely to have a proper grasp of the English language.
So I don't know what to make of it. I think I'm still on team "this is made up."
I just forwarded this to a CW. She is currently in a wedding where the bride made her take calligraphy classes so that she could address all of the envelopes properly...
