Random thought I figured I'd blog about before I go to bed tonight:
Drew and I were watching Say Yes to the Dress and over and over and over again these brides walk in with their entourage. The mom, the aunt, the sister, the soon-to-be mother-in-law, the grandma, the bridesmaids. Am I the only one who thinks this is ridiculous? Then the bride goes into the dressing room with the consultant and whines about this and that and is bummed because someone gave an opinion contrary to how she is feeling about the dress. GAH! Leave your family at home! Or at least shut up about it when they open their mouths and tell you how they feel about a dress. I brought one of my bridesmaids with me when I went shopping. If my mom had been closer I would have brought her, too, but that's because I know she'd have kept her mouth shut. But to bring everyone? Especially when everyone is so opinionated? That's crazy. I'm unsure why this stirred me up so much. I think because the underlying issue is that people ask for opinions and then get angry and disregard them when given. I hate that.
My dress was the 3rd one I tried on, happened to be on sale, and I didn't need anyone to tell me it was the one. I cried when I looked in the mirror and I was done looking. Sisters! Stand up for yourselves and do what YOU want. Oh, those wishy-washy brides just bug me.
I had never seen this show before but caught it yesterday. I was cracking up at the bride that was pitching a fit because she wanted the $8000 dress.
ReplyDeleteI felt bad for the chick whose seamstress jacked hers up right before her wedding. That was me, new dress two days before my wedding. At least they fixed hers.
I'm with you. I picked a dress neither of the to close friends I brought with me liked. My mother, when she saw pics hated it. I still love it. The pics never fail to make me smile.
