Girls, if you're getting married and want to rope someone into participating in your ******* wedding party who is clearly reluctant to do so and offers several times to bow out, don't make it cost more than absolutely ******* necessary and try to keep it as inconvenient as possible.
Yeah, it's a ******* honor, I should be greatful, I know.
****.

Sorry, hun, but I adore weddings. I jump through hoops for every single one and was somehow involved with every one I've been to, whether or not I was part of the bridal party. I just love me some wedding gowns.
I'm going for the whole BBQ in the backyard thing. My invitations will have BYOB on them.
I'm seen too many people I know go through the planning and stresses of bridesmaids and party members who don't actually want to be there. When my boss got married this spring, all I heard about was how much of a hassle the bridal party was. It made me decide on throwing a BBQ instead of having some big event where I stress out so bad my face turns into a roadmap and thousands of dollars are spent on fancy doilies for the place settings instead of a vacation in Cuba.

Your only recourse is to be such a pain in the *** that she asks you to step out. I suggest you put Smash on that.

It's my only sister's wedding.
Besides, Smash would do nothing of the sort. He's absolutely tickled that I'm being forced to wear a long pink gown. He's a horrible, rotten traitor of a man.

PINK dress?
Yeah, I'd ditch my only sister if she did that to me.
Although, she hates me enough to actually do that to me. ... She better not have a big wedding.
You must either really love your sister, or she got you really drunk before she asked you to participate.

Oh I love her, but we're not all that much alike, haha. Attending her wedding will cost me more than my wedding in its entirety.
Yes, pink. Deep pink, with a chocolate sash. I'm wearing a pink and brown gown, that will be special ordered to fit me and that I'll never wear again.
I'm hoping I can get away with brown shoes...maybe I can at least wear those to work or something.
She's going to make me get my hair and makeup done too. She hasn't said so yet, but it's coming, I ******* know it.

That pretty much stinks.
At least she's got good color coordination - pink and brown do go well. But, still. Have you told her this is more than you can afford? If she's your sister she should understand financial positions. Otherwise she's selfish.

Yeah, well, regardless, it seems to be poor-form to tell a bride that she's being selfish in wedding planning. It's kind of the point. The entire point of weddings is blind, expensive, self-indulgence where the bride and groom (but especially the bride) get to be celebrities for a day. Everyone else is *supposed* to fall all over themselves trying to make it perfect. I am acquiescing to her demands, but that doesn't mean I can't ***** about it to uninvolved parties.
Pink. ******* hell.

If the bride wasn't my sister, no, then just take it... but if it's your sister and you're close, other people may be quietly looking to you to say something if they had issues. Kind of depends on your relationship, I guess.
I totally understand the ********* though. I do quite a bit of it :p

This is the dress...but obviously in different colors.
I think ours will have straps too, but I'm not sure (please God, please).

That's close to my boss' dresses. Her colors were teal and black though. She chose black for the bridesmaids so they could always take off the ribbon and just have a nice black dress for other occasions.

She said I could pick out my own shoes, but they had to be dress shoes in brown, white, or pink.

Go for brown then. Get a nice pair of flats if you can, then they can work for everything. If not, a kitten heel that will be comfortable at work. Nothing strappy though. Go for Librarian-like brown heels. THey're sexy.
(Says the girl getting her library degree who's goal it is is to dress in the white business shirt, pencil skirt, and leather boots with her hair in a bun stuck with a pencil. In the library. After hours. >.>)

To add to the stress:
Hannah's a flower girl. Keep in mind she'll *just* be three. My sister first got upset when I told her that we had to leave by 9pm (already and hour past Hannah's bedtime and we have an hour and a 45 minute drive home). She's also very concerned that Hannah won't be serious and appropriate and might run around or get nervous and come back to where I am in the procession.
She's on crack.
Oh, and this just in: I need to drive all the way down there once to try on the dress once it's ordered so it can be altered as necessary, once to do a practice hair styling, once to pick out a dress for Hannah once the date is closer so that it still fits...

/snicker. Although you are probably one of the few femmes I can actually see pulling off pink and brown. Still, I chuckle at your circumstances, because I can. Love ya!

My cousins just got married a couple of weeks ago. Charmaine, along with a BUNCH of my other little nieces, were flower girls. We were all cracking up because the 1 and a half year old wouldn't walk down the aisle during the wedding rehearsal. Same thing happened during the wedding so the baby didn't walk at all. It was pretty funny.
So we all decided the next wedding where all the little babies are part of the wedding, the kids are getting good and sugared up on candy and Mountain Dew.
I need to iron a shirt and buy $1000 worth of memory cards.
If it makes you feel better, I think have Prada tie with pink dots.
I'll wear that to share the burden.
