So I've talked about my best friend's wedding I'm in next month. I'm going tonight to get my bridesmaid dress fitted, should be simple just needs to be taken in a little and they're adding some real straps for me (because I fucking hate strapless and when I showed the straps on the dress to the bride she liked it). Doesn't even need a hem put in (yay for being tall!).
So I tell the bride, I'm going to get it fitted tonight so alterations will be done in plenty of time for the wedding (12/6), and I don't have to worry about Thanksgiving getting in the way. The place I'm going happens to be near where she lives so I asked if she wanted to do dinner tonight since we haven't had a chance to see each other lately. And she agrees dinner sounds awesome and then she asks if she can come with to the fitting because she wants to see how the dress looks on me. I tell sure, no problem. Cause again, she's my best friend. This is totally common place for us (we've been friends for the majority of our lives).
Somehow this snowballed into two other bridesmaids coming to the fitting, and the remaining two bridesmaids will join us for dinner so we can make a real party of it. WTF? I do not understand why this needs to be a party.
I love my friend, I really do, but girlfriend has seen too many wedding movies where all the girls go and do all the things together all the time.
It's not that big of deal really, I like the other girls most of the time. I'm just like...why do we need to make a party of it? Eh, they've got good margaritas at the place we're going for dinner. And ya know...number 16,416 of "ways my wedding will be different" has been added to the list.
