The bridesmaid, wearing a beautiful gown from Build a Bear, had to be enticed to walk down the aisle toward the “preacher” with kitty treats. Often the bridesmaid struggled with her gown and found walking backwards much easier than walking forwards. She approached for the treat. The bridesmaid often wandered away before the bride could complete her trip down the aisle. The bride marched slowly, accompanied by music from the Nintendo DS Wedding Planner game.

I was always the “always a bridesmaid, never a bride” girl and had a bunch of ugly, expensive dresses — with dyed-to-match satin pumps — to prove it! The irony of it was that years later — the number varied — I wound up testifying in several of their divorces. Such is life in these United States.
Happy New Year, Virginia!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, and happy new year to you, too.
One of the delights and disasters of being everybody’s best friend – you are also everyone’s bridesmaid. Besides becoming an expert at shower giving, and having a closet full of fufu dresses, you also get to transport your bridesmaid self to exotic islands, countries and resorts. The beauty of the destination wedding is a financial drain on everybody’s best friend, the bridesmaid.
The Bridesmaid waits in vain
He waits until she is asleep and then slips down stairs into the backroom. Naked, he slips on the silk dress and it slides over his skin like a delicate kiss. Standing in front of the mirror, he cries at the beauty he sees as the dress slowly falls away.
