The robes in action
We were staying at a hotel in Cleveland this weekend where the rooms open up overlooking a beautiful arcade where they have wedding receptions. At 10am I saw two bridesmaids in little silky robes trying to wheel a large cart full of bridal party flowers (there were 11 bridal attendants) to the room. They were fighting to keep the robes closed and the cart straight.
My daughter and I went and helped them get the flowers to the room. They told us the bride insisted they get the flowers in their robes so they could take pictures doing it. Surprise there a two strangers in a few of them!

Re: The robes in action
I hope they were too busy struggling to get any pictures. Stupid bride. Stupid robes. ***This should be attached to any and every dreaded robe post from this point forth!
I'm not kidding. I've been married for a while now. My own family and friends have been married for years, some over 20 years. In the first year or so there tends to be a lot of wedding pictures. Most are just of the couple, a few of family and the WP.
It's rare, if at all, I've seen "getting ready" shots displayed. Not even in the album that is normally in a closet or under a table somewhere. As time goes on the pictures are replaced with kids or other more recent experiences. With a few years the average house only had 1 or 2 wedding pictures displayed. Mostly of just the couple themselves.
Why in the world are these robe pictures so important to people? Women doing work in robes? WTF? Why are there no shots of the GM's in robes doing work?
Oh that's right, it's only the BM's who are forced to wear stupid getting ready stuff. And we all know it's only the BM's who have "duties"! The guys generally do not have to arrive HOURS ahead of time, wearing getting ready attire, doing work to help all while documented by a photographer.
Also, ditto what Lynda said...I can't think of many people who display getting ready photos. WTF are you going to do with a photo of women in matching robes, trying to keep their butts covered, pushing a cart of flowers? I assume in this situation the cart was also decorated to match?
The getting ready pictures I DO like are the (typical) ones of the mom or MOH zipping up the dress, the WP laughing or cheersing, etc. We have a great one of my sister zipping my dress while my mom is squinting to see the bustle with her reading glasses on. I love this one because we have a family joke about my mom and her reading glasses. I wouldn't frame it, but I would maybe put it in an album just because it makes me chuckle. But you can have those loving, natural moments without everyone matching.
That was so sweet of you! Good karma in action
"Hey fellas, I bought us all matching silk boxers with 'groomsman' printed on the butt for us to wear for pictures while we get ready!" Their friends would laugh out loud in their face. Thank God most men don't read too deeply into wedding mags/Pinterest! On the other hand, I could see this as a new scene in a "Magic Mike" movie...
Is your dress the Pronovias Urdiel??
It's an Allure.
I don't dare Google that at work, lol.
Haha, I do know what commando means. I meant I dare not Google for pics of groomsmen going commando.
I reminded him he was not in the 90's :P
I need undies! Without them I could have had a nightmare in Disney last month. Ugh.
