Being that I am in my twenties a large number of my friends are getting married. I have seen many friendships put in jeopardy because of weddings. Your best friend for years who was voted most likely to save the world turns into the dreaded.....BRIDEZILLA!!!!! Run for your lives!!! I have only been roped into being a bridesmaid once.I have so far dodged the bullet of being maid of honor since I moved relatively far away from my hometown. When I heard the dreaded words, "I want you to be in my wedding" I immdiately began to panic. It's not that I don't love my friends with all my heart. I would do anything for them. It's just that getting ready for a wedding changes people. These women are put under horrible amounts of stress and unfortunately on the big day we of the wedding party get the brunt of their rage. Not to mention the fact that I end up paying upwards of $300 on a hideous dress I'd wouldnt clean my toilet with. And what do the salespeople say, come on ladies, say it with me. "You can hem it and wear it for anything." Sorry but I try not to include chartruese dresses in my evening wear wardrobe. It would just be too much stress for me to deal with. Me and my love have decided that our wedding will be very low-key. Neither of us are sadist enough to deal with what the wedding industry throws at you these days. The meal options at our reception will most likely be "McChicken or Double Cheeseburger" The in-laws will love that. *Laughs manically*
