I'm so glad I'm not the bride anymore.
I'm a BM in a friend's wedding in October. She's a doll, and we've been friends since high school. She's totally not girly and super laid back, so I expected her to be one of those "just get a blue dress" brides. When we talked about it forever ago, I suggested black cocktail dresses and getting sashes, but it's her wedding, so I don't care.
Anyway, I had brunch with her and a mutual friend (Kelly) that is also a BM, and we ended up going to look at BM dresses. My sister (Lisa) is also a BM, and she came along too. The bride decided that she doesn't really care what the dress is, but she wants us all to wear the same one. Ok, whatever.
Of course, there was one dress that Lisa and I liked and Kelly hated, and there was another dress that Kelly and I liked and Lisa hated. There are 2 other BMs that weren't there. I figured bride would take the other 2 girls and eventually end up getting to options or voting. The wedding is still 7 months out, so I didn't give it much thought.
Anyway, so here's the drama. I just got a text from Kelly that we are going with the dress that she and I liked and Lisa hated. I love my sister, but she's a drama queen. But in her defense, 2 girls haven't even seen it yet, and the message came from Kelly, not the bride. I'm really not excited to see this all go down.
That's all. I don't need advice or anything. I just wanted to share.
