It was a simple, yet beautiful ceremony filled with true love (cheesy, I know, but when you can lick your bride when the pastor says "You may now kiss the bride," then you know you've got true love). It was everything that I hope my own wedding will be (minus, perhaps, the licking), and I'm so thankful that my roommate asked me to be a part of it.
My one and only tip for those of you who are blessed enough to be a part of something so wonderful is to do whatever makes the bride (or groom, if that's who you're friends with) happy. Though this is a momentously happy occasion in anyone's life, it's also a momentously stressful one. I was lucky enough to be friends with a bride who didn't go all "bridezilla" (at least not in front of me), and there were moments where she probably would have been justified in doing so (when the proper bridesmaid dresses don't come in until two days before the wedding and the bridal store owner gives you the roundabout, even the bridesmaids are threatening to beat someone up!).
It's the bridesmaids' (or groomsmens') job to help alleviate those stresses so that the happy couple can be just that - happy. 'Cause when they're happy, that joy spreads throughout the room and makes everyone happy (even that really drunk lady from the bar who thought she could crash the wedding).
So, my question to you: What's your dream wedding?
And my challenge to you: Crash a wedding, but be classy about it! Don't just grab some food and run (and return two minutes later for more food) - make up a story about being the groom's dog's second cousin by marriage and then hit on the hot bridesmaids/groomsmen while going crazy on the dance floor. And leave a nice card.
[Sorry, not a great challenge, but it's the only one I could think of besides getting married, and I don't want you doing that unless you've found "the one." But hey, it'll make a great story if you actually do it!]
