Given the posts we've had on this board over the past couple of days (and the reactions to the mean old hags telling them not to take a wedding too seriously), I thought I'd share this.
The little store I work in had our Christmas party tonight and talk turned to weddings.
One of the women had a couple of big things go wrong. Her florist messed up the order and all of her girls had different bouquets. The seamstress who altered all the girls dresses messed up the alterations and nobody's dress fit her. They didn't get the dresses back from her until two days before the wedding. The bride's sister was a manager at Macy's and let the girls in early and they all bought off the rack dresses. She was telling this story laughing so hard she was crying.
Another woman told about the hideous BM dresses she picked out which she thought were the height of forward fashion. All the BMs tried to talk her out of it and she wouldn't listen. She also wouldn't listen to her mother who tried to tell her that her wedding dress was too low cut of a V-neck. She said she looks back at her pictures and laughs. She also had tears in her eyes laughing that the headpieces she had her girls wear looked like some sort of tree branch growing out of her heads and in the receiving line, she was clutching her dress at the chest otherwise she would have given everyone a peep show. Halfway down the aisle she realized she needed to cover herself with her bouquet because mom was right.
