Bridesmaid Suffering

Today I went to dinner with Ms. O.C. to Houston’s one of our faviourite steak houses in the area to talk about the bridesmaid dresses for the wedding. Now we all know it is an honour and a pain to be in a wedding. An honour because of course you want to be standing up there in front when your very best friends walk down the isle. And you want to be with her all day getting ready and having fun and supporting her through all the wedding details. The big pain is the amount of money you have to spend for the dress that you will never wear again and the shoes that you hate but the bride made you buy. It is an issue that we all have to deal with. I was attempting to make this less painful by taking a page from Mrs. O.C.’s wedding and let the girls choose from a variety of dress styles.

I ended up originally with having all the girls wear either of these styles.





But because of my discussion with Mrs. O.C. and considering the price of these dresses which was a little bit more then I wanted to make them spend for a dress they may hate I decided to look a little further for dresses in the same tone but a bit more inexpensive.

In the end I let them choose between these three styles that I thought could potentially be good choices and looked close enough alike. Hopefully I made the suffering a little more bearable. And don’t worry we all know what is going to happen to them after the wedding. I wonder what good will does with all those unwanted dresses.
