A Happy Bridesmaid
Monday, September 5, 2011 at 10:45PM So a year and a half ago I mentioned that my friend of 20 years was engaged. I designed her save the dates earlier this year. I created bridesmaid booklets for her wedding party. A group of us went to Santa Barbara for a bachelorette weekend this summer. That time flew by and in just a few short days her wedding will be upon us (on the 17th). I can't believe the big day is almost here because for so long it felt like it was so far in the future. Last week it all became very real to me when I went to try on my bridesmaid dress and get it fitted.
The dress is super pretty and even though I tend to think that long dresses look bad on me, I rather like this one. The color is really phenomenal and I think all of the girls are going to look great. This will be my first experience in a wedding party but more importantly, my first experience as a maid of honor and I am excited to be by my friend's side as she begins this new stage in her life. It's only fitting since we've been through so much together.
In the next two weeks I will be sharing many updates about the wedding so be prepared to see more. It is such a big thing seeing your close friend get married and I enjoy sharing my personal experiences here on the blog. Has anyone else been a maid of honor? Any words of advice for the big day? I need to start working on my maid of honor speech...wow, such an honor but also a little nerve-racking. My speech basically needs to be freakin' awesome so clearly you can see I've set the bar pretty high for myself. Although slightly nervous, I am so excited to speak and be a part of the day in such an important way.
Happy Tuesday everyone! If you had a long weekend, I hope it was lovely.
