I've been a bridesmaid or best woman at 7 weddings and have performed 2 ceremonies. Being in a wedding party is expensive!! It just goes with the territory and I expect it. Once I really wish I hadn't been asked and another was great, but I was financially in the red for about 3 months afterward.
When I got married, I caught some shit for the price of the dresses (from my sister), but you always piss someone off. As it was my ex and I paid for almost everything ourselves and it was not cheap. As soon as you hire someone and they find out it's for a wedding, the price triples. All you can do is suck it up and enjoy it for what it is.
The wedding I really didn't want to be in was awful! The ugly "sea-foam" dress in cheap polyester with matching shoes ended up in a dumpster on the way home. I had laryngitis and had to speak at the mass...I ended up with Cepacol all down the front of the dress before the ceremony even began! It sort of matched. At the reception, the groom's father grabbed a bridesmaid's ass (my best friend), she told him loudly to fuck himself and we were thrown out of the reception before the cake was cut. What a day...and a great story to tell and retell!
Gotta love weddings!
