• My Comments on Choosing Your Bridesmaids Article

  I completely agree with this article on choosing your bridesmaids with care because no one understands the importance of getting married than someone who's already married or is a seasoned bridesmaid. My matron of honor and one of my bridesmaids are married but although one of them had an actual wedding celebration, the other one didn't. My maid of honor's only been a bridesmaid once and never helped with the other bride's wedding at all and on top of that, she's a bridesmaid for her friend's wedding in June 2011. My three other bridesmaids are single but two of them are in relationships and only one of them has been a bridesmaid but she also never helped plan the other bride's wedding. As much as I love them all, they don't seem to understand the importance of helping me, the bride, plan the wedding. Don't get me wrong, I know they're throwing me a bridal shower and a bachelorette party and they've helped with the bridesmaid and flower girl dresses as well as the announcements but when I ask them to do something, they whine about doing it right away or at all. Either one of those things or they say they're working on it. Because of their lack of concern, I've taken on most of the planning by myself with the help of my fiance'. Although, I do have to say, my matron of honor has been the best so far because she's done the most work, like attennding the bridesmaids/flower girls dress shopping, picking them up, providing plates, cups, flatware, and drinks for the engagement party, doing directions to the church, throwing me a bridal shower, and looking at the wedding program. Picking your bridesmaids are like picking your friends, you want someone whose opinion matches yours and realizes that you are the most important person in the world on your wedding day. You want bridesmaids that aren't going to just show up and look pretty but actually help plan the wedding with the bride without being a bridesmaidzilla. Because when it's their turn if they aren't married yet or are married, they'll understand how much stress the bride goes through just for getting married.
