velvetpage | I'm a bridesmaid!!!!!!! (Reply)

sassy_fae today asked myself and

danaeris to be official bridesmaids!! Yay!!

That makes two weddings in one summer. The first is coming up really, really fast - five weeks!!!! That's five weeks to find dresses, get them altered as necessary, find foundation garments, makeup and accessories, plan a bachelorette and a shower, purchase items for shower, finish making The Gift, and get flowers and a dress for Elizabeth, who will be flower girl/ringbearer/child-of-all-work. That's a lot to do in five weeks!!!

So

sassy_fae and

danaeris are coming over on Tuesday right after work (read: just after seven) so we can go shopping. Fortunately,

danaeris and I have similar figures and colouring. Finding a dress that will look good on both of us will be no bigger a deal than finding a plus-size dress for one. That could turn into a big deal, of course. I swear I've tried on every prom dress in the city in anything like my size, and I didn't find one I liked.

Still, we'll manage. After having missed being a bridesmaid in every wedding up to this point, it's really cool that I finally get to be in not one, but two weddings this summer. I am so excited!!!!

I have now used my quota of exclamation points for this evening. It's time to get ready for bed.
