Any idea for the bridemaid dresses yet?

Ahem! Misti, speaking while trying not to move her lips whispers to Amy, "I'm partial to green or blue...what about you?

Ah, either would be lovely! I'm sure we have tons of suggestions, huh Misti?

The color of my bridesmaid dresses, BTW, were almost the identical teal color of the blouse you're wearing in your avatar Misti!

Just remember Christina, it's your wedding, not theirs. You should have the final vote. My bridesmaids had all the same dresses, but my maid of honor had a different dress, which was the same color as the others. Go with you gut because it's your special day. [Cheryl will duck away and stop trying to be a pushy broad.]

LOL!! Broad?? Cheryl, you crack me up! I agree with you. Christina, you have been planning this for a long time. It's YOUR special day.

Indeed. Misti & I will get over it. In time.



LOL, ditto what Cheryl & Teresa said. The ONLY way I think the idea of different styles for different girls is if there are several different 'sizes' of girls. But even that can be remedied by simply picking a style that will flatter every body type. Happy to hear you're going with the teal color! I'm sure it will be pretty!

it's beautiful

I was gonna get all insulted until I think I realized that meant your bridesmaids and not Amy and I...at least I HOPE so!

But seriously, I agree, Christina. Since you are the bride it comes down to what you want..so stand your ground, girlfriend!

I think you mean "other" bridesmaids, right Misti??? Gosh, this is going to be fun...I haven't gotten dressed up in ages!

Hey! Misti and Amy get to be bridesmaids?? Christina, I do hope that I've just overlooked a very important PM from you, inviting ME to be a bridesmaid as well. I *promise* I won't use the pan at your wedding. (Unless Rob is going to be part of the wedding, too....Then I can't promise anything.)

Rob can be the ring bearer...complete with his bowtie! For some reason I picture Rob with a bowtie....

Savannah, would you like to be the flower girl? See how smoothly I'm taking over this wedding?

Hey, Christina, since myself & Amy are gonna be bridesmaids and we don't want to leave anyone from LH out, how many MORE bridesmaids would you like to have?? :think:

Tell me where the church is and I'll be there with bells on!

:unsure:

Are you sure you don't want to run security?

Wow, Christina, this is sure to be a wedding for all to remember with Fife on duty! :unsure: Oh, I mean:

Misti, can I hire you as my wedding planner? You're doing so well with planning the bridal party, I'm sure I can find something else for you to do

Stick with me kid, we'll get thru this! Hey, I have an idea. We'll sit down to a marathon of "Bridezillas" on cable and then we'll be ready to whip the troops wedding party in line to fulfill your every whim!

Now your maid of honor; is she your best friend or a relative? Just try to be as patient as you can to keep her "calm" but remember, it is your special day and you should have it go like you want it to! If she doesn't comply...send her to the board. We'll have a "talk" with her!

You've heard my own 'Bridezilla' story before, Christina...in my case it was my best friend who turned into Bridezilla and I was 'supposed' to be the matron of honor. She went off her nut with me for the pettiest of things, (ahem, during the bachelorette party which she was drunk at, if that's any indication) and it literally ruined a 20 year friendship. Weddings can really bring out the worst in people. Hopefully this isn't the case with your maid of honor, and I know YOU would never be "Bridezilla" , but just don't let what happened with my best friend and me happen to you. She never apologized to me for her behavior and that really hurt me, but in my case, 'being right' didn't really help anything either. In our case, it had nothing to do with the wedding planning itself, but an argument that was totally based off her stresses of her wedding planning. AND I think that she didn't feel that I was involved enough in the planning, but I was raising two young boys at the time and didn't have all the time in the world for that stuff. Looking back, the whole thing was so petty and I am sorry that I let it go as far as it did---I was just so mad at her and felt like I deserved a sincere apology, at least after the wedding was over...I was hoping by then she'd figure out that it was all based off her wedding stress. Ugh. But you grow up, grow wiser, and realize that life is really too short and it's silly to hold grudges based on petty arguments, particularly those based around weddings!

I hope you can deal with your maid of honor---she sounds pretty controlling to me in a way...honestly, I don't remember having a say in my bridesmaid dresses, ever! My 'say' was in what jewelry I wore and how I wore my hairstyle, you know? Personally, I'd make like three selections yourself and then have all the bridesmaids give their 2 cents. If most people hated one of the dresses, then rule that one out, and then YOU pick the one you really want from the remaining two. Does that sound fair Christina? What do you think, Wedding Planner Misti?

Well said, Amy, and I totally agree. When it comes down to it, the bride is the one that is having the special day and her word is the final say. If the wedding party wants to argue about it, let them go out and get married and then they can have their say. Better yet if they do want to argue, and they are married, reverse the question to them...
