Maid of Honor Speaks Her Mind

Welcome back! This wedding has my head spinning! Why are brides always in denial when they are being bridezillas. The only person keeping me sane is my boyfriend. Why can’t the events being planned for the bride be as easy as the ones being planned for the groom? The grooms bachelor party has been planned for about three months now. They are going to Atlantic City in a huge party bus and staying over night. That is so easy a little more costly than the women but something the groom wants to do. Why for the bachelorette party does everything need to be so difficult? The men don’t sit and ponder how they are going to dress up the groom to look silly. They just go have some drink, get a lap dance, gamble and go home.

The bridal party feels that they need to plan out what they are going to wear to make them stand out from all the other guests that will be at the party. Also they have to plan out how they are going to make the bride look like a walking billboard for Spencers. As you can tell I am not a girlie girl and I don’t party often, so this whole thing is new to me. I can definitely say that I am getting better at this whole Maid of Honor thing, but there are some traditions I just don’t understand.
