I’m not really traditional, so it’s been nice to have people back me up and affirm that I’m -not- crazy for not being into all of the little details. It’s nice to hear that it’s about my fiance and me… and not really what anyone else thinks or expects.
Recently my parents threw an engagement party for my fiance and I. It was a chance for our families to meet, and our close friends as well. It was also a good indication of what to expect at the wedding – that being that my friends (and I) like to get down! My bridesmaids (there are 4) are so awesome, because my parents had a stereo system that dates back to the 70′s it didn’t like our ipod. In leu of that, following our dinner, my bridesmaids went straight for the vintage cassettes – and pulled out my 1 year old nephews musical box – we had a dance party complete with drums and tambourines in no time that lasted until the wee hours (well actually when the wine ran out). We now know we’ll need to save some extra money for wine – and that my bridesmaids have got the dance party covered! They also happen to be tres stylish and would look beautiful in a pair M.Flynn’s earrings (green glass, champagne stone, or pearl please). Thank-you!
Thanks for listening!
Having known all of my bridesmaids for more than ten years, I cannot possibly ennumerate the times they have supported me, made me laugh, wiped my tears, threatened to kick someone’s behind,wholesale mac makeup, served as getaway drivers or even assisted as I picked out the special details of my wedding day. To sum it up, their support is obvious as I know I can count on them as in good times and bad, sickness and health,cheap mac makeup, until we shall part. They just don’t look as good in tuxes as my sweetie will. (But, of course, he wouldn’t look as lovely in those gorgeous earrings as they will.)
These earrings would be perfect for my maids! I’d love to give these as their gift because they have been amazing to me this past year of planning. All but one live 3,000 miles away in MD, while I live in CA and they have surprised me with a bridal shower that was better than I could have ever imagined. Full of amazing catered food, DIY decorations, a whole table display of pictures of my fiance and I through the years (we’ve known each other since we were 14), and my closest friends and family–the shower was truly a special day. They also planned an amazing bachelorette party while I was home for the holidays and made the 1 degree weather seem so insigificant while we were running through the cold streets of Baltimore, dancing and laughing.
Advice and support–that’s all I need and all they give! They’ve been super happy to hear every last detail. Plus, I have two married bridesmaids who give me great advice from when they were planning, and two engaged bridesmaids who are going through the same thing I am. Between allowing us all to vent and giving each other recommendations, I’ve really got some great girls. And that’s just four of the six! They’re all just really happy for me, and that’s all I could ask for.
My bridesmaids have always been fantastic, and even more so during this planning process! They’ve listened to all my ideas,mac makeup wholesale, gone along with me when I changed my mind and offered their ideas without being overbearing. They’re great friends and always take my mind off of the details when I’m stressed, but also know when to dig in and get their hands dirty. They’re my girls and I love them!
I looove these earrings and would love to spoil my bridesmaids with them. My ladies are the best – hands down. They’re caring and kind and amazing listeners – they are all flying to Florida from Philadelphia and have never complained once. I have the best bridal party and I can’t wait to have them stand by my side on April 24, 2010.
More than the parties and gifts though, my maids have provided me with the most amazing support I could ask for during the recent and sudden passing of my mother. They all know how close I was to her, truly my best friend, and they have stepped right in to make this difficult wedding planning process without her, a little bit easier. Most of them have been my friends since we were kids, starting at age 4, and I could not imagine my wedding, and even more, my life, without them. I love them all and these earrings would make them shine even more than they already do.
Hey! so all of my bridesmaids live out of town where I live (North Augusta SC) but three of them live in the town where I am getting married, beautiful Charleston SC. THey have been very helpful with letting my keep decorations at their apartments in Charleston. Also since I have had to reschedule my bridal portraits for the FOURTH TIME due to weather which this last time was the freak snow storm in Charleston!!! THey have also let me stay with them everytime I go down there. They are just awesome girls!! Thank Ya’ll!!
