The Bridesmaid’s Dress Is Ordered — Check

Well, the bridesmaid’s dress is ordered and I sent an email off to PW to assure her it is so. Perhaps now she can relax. I did ask her if I need flats or heels. I’m hoping flats as she’s told me that the day’s activities will last 13 hours.

Now I have to find a suitable magic bra to hold everything in place for 13 hours — yeah right! At her last wedding, between dances, I kept having to run to the bathroom to pull up my strapless corset because it kept slipping down and bunching around my waist while I was enthusiastically rocking on to 80’s music. I wonder if anyone realized that’s what I was doing. I mean, I’d slide in there, yanking that sucker up and trying to stuff these babies back into those pockets. It was all fruitless. Those strapless thingies don’t actually do anything. They don’t hold anything in place unless you aren’t planning on moving. But somehow, if I don’t go buy one, I’ll never hear the end of it from my mental mother’s voice. Plus, I don’t think the bridal dress lady will let me try the dress on without a bra.

Oy.

I can’t believe she picked purple. I look horrible in purple. My red hair and that purple…gah.

Oh, and apparently this is “all my fault”. Apparently a year ago I told her they’d be getting married by now. Well, I must say that she sounds very happy on the phone and very grown up. I think it’s done her a lot of good to get away from New Orleans and the old gang and everything that was holding her back and I think that English has been good for her. Well, except for this new interest in purple…

   Heh. I hope you can find good undergarments. It’s a lot better than the purple dress I wore to my then-best-friend’s wedding in 1989. Shudder.
