Dear S,

That was AWESOME. All of it was, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Hanging out with you for three whole days in a row for the first time in YEARS.
  • Getting a chance to know your fiancĂ© husband better.
  • Meeting some of your Tennessee friends finally.
  • My shoes somehow (miraculously) not even smelling bad.
  • Partying all day Saturday for the best reason I could ever come up with.
  • Seeing your fiancĂ© husband cry the minute he saw you walking down the aisle.
  • Hearing a random stranger stop his golf cart and exclaim that you're the most beautiful bride he's ever seen.
  • Getting to use a microphone to brag about how awesome you are to a room full of attentive wedding guests.
  • Witnessing two super deserving people vow to be each other's others for the rest of their lives.


It all went by too fast, but I'm so glad I got to be the one standing by your side.

Hugs & kisses,
B

Dear Crotchety Old Wives Who Say "Three Times a Bridesmaid, Never a Bride,"

HA! Thwarted again!

You thought you had me, didn't you, with the last wedding I was in? And you thought you SUPER-had me with this fourth one in September. I know you did, because you're old wives who want to ruin the happiness of youth with inane sayings based in lies.

But I'm looking at two times a bridesmaid, two times a maid of honor, and that is not the same thing. Instead of indicating I am destined for spinsterhood, it shows, instead, that I am, in fact, REALLY good at developing relationships, deepening bonds and staying true over a long period of time. Two times a bridesmaid for friends I've had since birth and first grade. Two times a maid of honor for friends since ages 11 and 12. Two times a bridesmaid, two times a maid of honor: I am a prize for any guy who values loyalty and commitment.

Never a bride? More like building up a curriculum vitae that proves I'll rock as a wife.

(Anyone interested?)

Hugs & kisses,
B
