I have never been a bridesmaid. Maybe moving 17 times before I was 16 years old had something to do with it. It is hard to form long friendships when you attend four different high schools.
Those of you who have, were you anxious to be a bridesmaid in a wedding? Were you excited to spend that money on a dress you would probably only wear once? Did you really want to do the showers and the bachelorette parties, or were you worried about the money you were spending?
I keep reading posts from brides-to-be who are worried about leaving a friend out of their wedding party. I don't have any personal experience to understand these posts. Is this the norm? Would you be offended at not being picked to stand up in high heels in a fancy dress?
Personally, I have never felt bad about not being a bridesmaid. Enlighten me, please.
