I admit the dress looks lovely on the model, it's just not nearly as flattering on me. :oops: I'm just excited I don't have to have the thing completely altered to fit. :clap:

As for drinks... I'm a girlie drinks type a gal and it only takes one with me. ;) Two and I'm have a grand time, and may dance on the tables. :giggle:

We want footage of this. You could possibly sell the tapes and buy that special snake you always dreamt of.:P

I didn't think of that... that's definitely something I'll have to consider. :yes: No husband... drinks..... and a dress.... It'll be an awesome weekend no matter what! :D

lol; I plan on letting my two bridesmaids wear black, and I am letting them pick out their dresses (they will run them by me for approval.) My friend did this in her wedding that I was in, and I got a dress that I could actually wear out on the town; not a hot-pink taffeta.. who on EARTH would look good in that?!

Hot pink taffeta would definitely rock! With a huge bow on the butt.... that's just heaven.

Jen you definitely are awesome for giving them that option. I would have loved that.

I'm in the south, so a lovely fan with lots of feathers will do the trick.

I have rather thick hair, and I could definitely make it poofy. :yes: (and yes I was an 80s child who did NOT do the poofy hair thing :O ) Although it may kill me to actually do it.

i know someone who let her bridesmaids pick their own dresses... only stipulation was colour. she chose the colour each one would wear (or they assisted with the picking) so each bridesmaid wore a different colour and a different dress...

it looked very nice actually. the dresses turned out to be similar in style and everyone looked sooooooo good in their dress. ;)

of course, all the weddings i've been in have involved hideous dresses which were never ever ever worn again!

my SIL picked this horrid material that showed sweat sooooooo bad and the wedding was in the middle of a hot summer. we all looked like crap in the dresses... the persperation stained the dresses... so we even had some "sweaty bum stains" ... let's just say we took our little half top jackets and tied them around our waste by the end of the event. *eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww*

my fiances bridesmaids get to pick their dresses. they just have to be close to the same color (dark pink). my fiances dress is white with a light pink stripe.
