Peanut butter

A morning/afternoon outing to find the "perfect summer bridesmaid dress' on a Saturday in October turned out to be a bust. Although it was a very entertaining outing to be sure. I'm suprised that we didn't get asked to leave the store because of our behavior. Even I thought that we were a little obnixous in our critiquing of the dress options we were shown. But the day as a whole wasn't a bust, it was saved with a little help from General Tso's chicken, hair dye, starbucks, and double-poofed hair.
I know that the bride is supposed to 'outshine' her bridal party on the big day, but seriously?!? Some of the things that they call bridesmaid dresses, it's just cruel.
-Did you know that dresses can have not only huge butt bows drawing attention to the rear, but they make ____ bows for the front half.
-Feathers, snow flake pins (excuse me, broaches) bows, flowers, tiers (creating a cake like effect) and various other things are used to create the most interesting designs.
-Tulle is your best friend if you want to ensure that the bridesmaids take up the whole dressing room, limo, aisle and so on.

Veils provide endless amounts of fun. Especially when there are whole rooms devoted to finding the perfect one. And they only cost like half of what your wedding dress does. I'm pretty sure I could make one that looks just as nice.
