Well, that might be pushing it... my girls are completely awesome, but the local ones are getting a little, well, worked up? We still have 382 days to go (thanks to my website calculator...) but they''re already asking me what kind of shoes I want them to wear! I can deal with the dress questions, I expected those, but as for what color family of makeup they should wear, I have no idea, nor do I really care. As long as everybody shows up dressed and happy, looking like themselves with a bit of polish, pretty and comfortable, it will be fine! I can''t say "wear pinks" because we have all different hair tones and skin tones... it would look silly. I don''t care what your blush looks like as long as you like it! I can''t seem to get this through their heads.
We were chatting about the bachelorette weekend and they told me they want to go to Iceland for spa treatments! Um.... what? They said "or a week in Spain! or maybe Paris?" I said "umm... I was thinking maybe 3 days somewhere we could drive to?" and tried to explain lack of funds and vacation days. I''m saving my time off for our honeymoon, not seaweed wraps in Iceland. Not that it wouldn''t be wonderful, but this isn''t the last trip I''ll be taking with my girls and I don''t want to spend $1400 on airfare! FI thinks it''s funny since his trip to Vegas has been planned for years, but I''m just wondering what they will suggest next.
I took my idea book with things I''ve cut out with me on our last get-together and they all looked through it but were dissapointed I didn''t have more ideas. They actually analyzed my hair type when looking at the hair ideas. They did estimations on how long it would get between now and then based on the type of vitamins I''m taking and general stress level. One of them even sent me home with a new hair product to try. seriously!
I love my girls, but I''m wondering if I''m going to let them down! I don''t feel prepared to be the bride they want me to be!
I did give them all a copy of "The Bridesmaid Guide" that I found on Amazon and they were enjoying it. Hopefully that will add some levity to the whole thing.
anybody else with bridesmaidzillas?
