Wedding Wednesday: Bridesmaid Edition

I'm allowed to write a Wedding Wednesday post even if I'm not married, right? Okay, good. Obviously this post isn't about my own wedding, since I have never been married nor am I engaged. But, as you may have read, I was chosen to be Maid of Honor for my old college roommate and best friend this past weekend.

So for this edition of Wedding Wednesday, I'm going to give you some tips on how to be the worst bridesmaid possible. Disclaimer: I am leaving names out to protect the innocent. Not all of these examples/situations are from this wedding.

Step 1: Tell (do not ask or gently remind) the bride that you do not look good in a certain color or strapless gowns. Because really, its so important that YOU look the best on the wedding day.

Step 2: Don't attend any bridal showers, luncheons, parties, etc. without a solid reason. (Unfortunately, I missed out on a lot of pre-wedding festivities because of my work schedule). Tell the bride that you are just too busy, or "could you just do it another weekend instead?"

Step 3: Ask the hairstylist (who also happens to be the brides Grandmother) if she could do your hair because you "just don't know what to do with it" then proceed to straighten out every curl because it wasn't "what you were used to."

Step 3: Wait until two weeks before the wedding to tell the bride that your bridesmaid dress doesn't fit and you don't have time to order another. Its not like she really wanted you to be  a special part of her day or anything.

Step 4: Talk about the bride to another bridesmaid. Surely she will never tell the bride.
Step 4.2: Tell another bridesmaid that really, you deserve to be MOH more than the actual MOH. I mean, what was the bride thinking... choosing her best friend?

Step 5: Tell the bride you are unable to go to her bachelorette party (that's been planned for months) because of a hair appointment. Sorry I just really need to get my roots done.

 

Step 6: Complain all day about how bored you are or how much you need a drink. Give audible sighs every time the photographer suggests a new pose. State frequently how ready you are to "get the hell out of this dress and into something that actually looks good." 

 

Step 7: Be no where to be found. Leave it to all of the other bridesmaids to help the bride get ready, direct guests to the bathroom, or keep the groomsmen from getting to restless. I mean there are six other girls, they couldn't possibly find anything for you to do, right?

And there you have it gals, your Bridesmaid edition of Wedding Wednesday.

Brides: did you ever have a not-so-great bridesmaid?
Bridesmaids: do you had any bridezilla or bridesmaidzilla stories?

 

Happy Hump Day!
