Bridesmaids

My best friend from high school is getting hitched in October.  Today I went to try on my bridesmaids dress.  Yeah.  I don't know why we go through all of this ugliness for weddings.  

The bride called me today to update how the dress search was going, because I hadn't checked my email in weeks and missed at least four important changes and questions between the maids as to their dress preference.  I remembered that last month I liked this kinda sea foam green one that was getting batted around but apparently it made her sister look too flat chested.  Not a problem for me and the other maid.  Nevertheless, the search continued without me.

 

My therory is that we are supposed to look kinda weird so that the bride looks like, really stunning, and as long as I can breathe enough to drink beer at the reception I (uncharacteristically) didn't really care.   

So when she called today and I naively asked if it was still green she (very characteristically) burst into hysterical laughter and told me that actually it was,  YELLOW! hahaha and POKA DOTS! hahahahahha  And from the PROM SECTION!!

I hope I can convey how funny she thought the whole thing was.  We were both having a good laugh about it.  Probably why we are friends.

So this is the dress below.  Hopefully it will look better on me in October than it did in March.  Cause I tell ya, New Englanders in March really need not wear yellow strapless organza.
