I am going to be a bridesmaid in my friends wedding, and yesterday we picked out dresses. It was a pretty fun time hanging out with wonderful women trying on beautiful dresses. I have been friends with the bride since freshmen year in high school, and we were like two peas in a crazy pod. Time and life is a bit of a bother though, and our busy lives have kept us apart. I am ashamed to say that we could go a few years without speaking. Ya.. that bad. I was thrilled when she called me up to tell me she was getting married, and wanted me to be in her wedding. After the joy though came the dread. I will need to try on dresses, and with people I have never met! Not to mention I have been living in sweatpants for the last three years. Oh man… I have really enjoyed the elastic waist on those suckers. So it probably comes as no surprise that I had nightmares and quite a bit of anxiety about the dress shopping. When I showed up my friend and her bridesmaids all greeted me warmly and I started to relax a bit. I did not relax at all about the dress though, and when the bride pointed out her favorite dress, I freaked and said I’ll take it. I quickly tried it on, said good good, and ripped it off as fast as I could. I made sure not to look at the dressing room mirror. I have three months. Three months is plenty of time…. Right?
