Bridesmaidzilla wedding recap
If you don't know my bridesmaidzilla stories, all you really need to know is that she ran out of my bachelorette party screaming "I'M TIRED OF PRETENDING TO BE HAPPY FOR EVERYONE ELSE. WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE MY TURN!!!!????"
Everything was pretty and upscale-looking. The bridesmaids wore green strapless dresses that unfortunately are made for girls who wear A cups and weigh under 110. Otherwise, I liked pretty much everything.
We got to the reception pretty early (way before the bridal party and families finished taking posed photos) and almost didn't get a table. The bar area wasn't set up for the reception but we sat there anyway b/c it was the only table where we could sit together.
The two honorary bridesmaids, who were also in my wedding, arrived and showed me their WP gifts. They got matching green earrings to wear to the wedding and a cute Etsy-esque clutch monogrammed in green. I'm pretty sure that's all they got.
Decorations were kind of plain. I kind of expected more from a girl who's had a wedding planning notebook under her bed since she was 16.
Ok, so the funny stuff.
Her dad gave a toast that lasted a half hour and was incredibly embarrassing. At one point he said "well that brings us to high school, but I'll skip over HS b/c I don't have any good stories . . . " and then went on another 10 or 15 minutes. Bridesmaidzilla was fuming. He also said something like, "I wasn't too thrilled when she told me she was dating a plumber. . . ."
Remember the paragraph-long insert in the STD about no kids? Someone brought their kid anyway. When we left the reception, he said to us, "hey guys! I found where they hid the extra candy! come look!" He was under the candy buffet table going to town on some twizzlers. I high-fived him.
B-zilla insisted that we "surprise" her by singing a sorority song to her. She had even already told the DJ that we would do it.
So we put a chair on the dance floor and stole candles from the tables and stood around her and sang, and of course she acted super surprised and flattered.

Dead serious. The background story is that she had been texting her relatively new boyfriend all night whining about why she wasn't invited out of town with him that weekend. He was at his grandmother's funeral. He got so annoyed with her that he broke up with her via text. That's when she had her breakdown.
Sounds awesome! What a klassy lady.
That is a crazy story. That boy is awesome.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

She demanded they SURPRISE her with the song, that's the best part!!
And I'm imagining the "surprised" look on her face as you guys sang, and I'm giggling.
