27 Dresses

Well yesterday was a boring day so I am not going to post about it. I thought me changing my headlight would be more of a story than it is. I tried and get pretty far, but in the end couldn't do it. I was just going to take the car to the VW dealership, but they told me it would be $15 and the light only cost me $8. I really didn't feel like paying almost double to put the light in. I complained to Ando instead and he came home at lunch to put my new light in. He figured out what I could not, and fixed my headlight. I paid attention to how he did it so I will be able to change it myself next time. I will not have to rely on a man to fix my problem.

Since that was the only thing worth mentioning I will be blogging about my past bridesmaid days in honor of the movie 27 dresses. I have not been a bridesmaid nearly that many times in fact it has only been 4. I am pretty sure people think it has been more than that, but you are wrong.

My first bridesmaid experience was in 2003 when my oldest brother got married. This is the dress I wore. I nice bright blue strapless number that I would not be able to wear again. Incidentally I have not worn it since that day. I have tried it on though and am happy to report it is now too big for me. Getting this dress altered was a huge pain in the ass. I had to keep going back because getting a strapless dress to fit snug on someone who is so big on top is hard. I will not wear a strapless dress again.

My second wedding was in July of 2004; Deb and Brentano got married. This wedding and dress was not so bad. Deb said that everyone could pick whatever dress they wanted as long as it was black. This is the hot little number I picked out. I think it came from Dillard's and was less than $100. This is my cheapest and most wearable dress I have worn in a wedding. I think I may have even got another wear out of it for a work function. I am not happy with my make-up application for this wedding. The lady that did my make-up just couldn't put down the blush.

Dress number three comes courtesy of my second brother's wedding. I couldn't find a picture of me so this one of my sis will have to do. You get the idea of what it looked like since we have the same body type. That is also the brother whose wedding it was in the picture. I didn't mind this dress too much because I felt like it flattered my body. I liked the halter top and was just happy it wasn't strapless. I have not worn this dress since either.

The fourth and final dress comes from Teed and Mo's wedding in December of 2004. As you can tell I was a busy bridesmaid in 2004. This is when I was my heaviest and so this dress also doesn't fit me any longer. I do like the dress though and would wear it out to a nice function if I needed to and it still fit me. I have always said that if I get married I think I will just use this dress since most people will already have it or can borrow it. Then no one has to spend money buying a new bridesmaid dress. Thanks for picking out a nice dress Mo.

So to all my single friends when you get married be sure to come to me to be in your wedding so I can try getting 27 dresses. I have a long ways to go, but think if I put my mind to it it can be done.

Nothing new to report, you didn't really think there would be a ring already.
