My FI came home from work yesterday and said that his female co-workers told him to tell me to consider having an even number of bridesmaids. (After he told them I am having 7). They said that I should have an equal number of girls on each side of me in pictures because it will look bad having 3 on one side and 4 on the other, and that I should look on Pinterest to see how it is supposed to look.... I told him I already picked my closest girls and I am not going to change it based on how it will look in pictures, they are my friends and family, not props to make my pictures look like Pinterest! So I was irked by that suggestion and thought it was rude and now my FI thinks I am crazy. What do you girls think?
Re: Must have even number of Bridesmaids
Your friends are not props. It's the suggestion that you take your relationships so lightly that you would consider telling someone "hey, so, I know I didn't ask you months ago like the other girls, but I just learned on Pinterest that my wedding pictures will look nicer if I have an even number of brideslaves on each side of me, so I'm gonna need you to stand in." Or worse, kicking someone out (of the wedding or the pictures) because of aesthetics. That's not being helpful, it's assuming you don't give a shit about your friends' feelings.
Dang. According to Pintrest, I get a bunch of do overs.
How about SHUT THE FUCK UP and let us plan our wedding the way we'd like it to look, not how Pinterest suggests it should look.
When we were price-shopping for tuxedo rentals, one saleswoman was showing us styles and said this of one bowtie:
Kill me.
We went with another tux place, needless to say.
