I will agree on that point- i think raspy rock voices are hawt.
I can see your point DJ. Especially when people come in and say they are hurt that none of their bridesmaids want to come to their bach party or have a shower for them, and everyone jumps on them and says "if people don't offer, you don't get one, NO BIG DEAL! get over yourself!!"
I mean, yeah, in the scheme of things its not a big deal, but it's OK to be hurt by it, and/or want to experience your own bridal shower.

I never knew what my BMs wore on their feet but I've had brides dictate shoes for me before. They were never expensive so I guess that's why I didn't really give a rip that I paid for them.

I found my random long chin hair lastnight, the little blonde one. I saw it glinting and called adam into the room to see it. I find this hair so fascinating.

I mean think about it. The BMs pay for the dress and the GMs pay for the tux rental. If you pay for the BMs shoes should you also pay for the GMs shoes?
The way I think about it, bridesmaids have always been expected to have the same dress (or color or style or whatever) and I guess it's kinda a newer idea to have the same shoes. I don't know. I find it annoying if I have to buy a specific pair of shoes for a wedding I'm in. Being in a wedding is already expensive so adding shoes to that gets on my nerves.

Yeah, that was new to me... I was told by at least one person in that thread that since I'm requiring silver shoes, I should pay for them because silver isn't something everyone already has.
