ok i have to admit, i am afraid. i have been asked to be a bridesmaid for two of my closest friends weddings, which happen to be less than a month apart and both in different continents. i appear to have a collection of old bridsesmaid dresses already in my wardrobe, which is kind of freaking me out but the scariest discovery for me is the whole female phyche behind it all. why, have i developed this fear? well... as you do, i was searching the net for bridesmaids stuff, trying to figure out what i am meant to be doing and i stumbled upon some things that make me feel just a litte freaked by the female mind. first of all there is the, 'how to be the perfect bridesmaid' and 'how to survive being a bridesmaid' with lists that could drive you to drink - what to wear, what to say, what not to say, how to act, how not to act, the makeup, the shoes, the rituals. are these people insane!!! no wonder there is a remedy... there are 830,0000 results on google for 'saying no to being a bridesmaid' and then a further 999,000 on 'how to say no to being a bridesmaid'. and then there are countless sites with steps by step instruction on how to 'do the deed'. counsel to help you through the feelings and reassurance that it's ok to pass up this life changing opportunity. i am perplexed! am i missing something here, things seem pretty calm for me at the moment... or am i just walking the plank to my doom. ok so i've let my fears out - the pre-bridesmaid jitters. dang, i cant even imagine what it must feel like to be a bride, I would have to carry a brown paper bag with me. i reckon the key word here is.... elope!
