It seems like all girls do when they meet up nowadays is talk about weddings. People are getting married right and left. Especially Christian girls. The panic sets in! Someone told me my eggs are rotting! :( A medically irresponsible statement made by a med student. Ok...perspective! I'm still 24. I'll worry about them eggs when I hit 32.
By the time a girl is in her second year of grad-school, she has an idea of who will definitely be her bridesmaid. There might be one or two empty slots but a good number of them have been filled. And then, you meet new people...and they might get on your bridesmaid track (as Tina calls it). They might expand your bridesmaid-crew or kick someone else off! (This also depends on how many friends your future husband has. If he has a lot of friends, you don't have to kick people off your bridesmaid track...you might have to recruit less-than-bridesmaid-worthy friends to fill the hole. If he has no friends...you might want to lend him your guy friends or kick one of your girls off.)
For someone who has a sister, it's easy. Sally will probably be my bridesmaid. But!!! I have a standard that I might have to revise. I told Suah when she was getting married that there was no way she could be my bridesmaid because she was married. She said she would produce a flower boy/girl for me. That has been my standard -- no married girl will become my bridesmaid.
But!!! What if I get married when my younger sister and all my close girlfriends are already married? It seems like a likely scenario. Should I revise my bridesmaid track qualifications by lowering(?) my standards? Married women allowed? But definitely not pregnant ladies. Sorry...I can't lower them any further.
Eh, I should probably Las Vegas-it when it comes down to me getting married when everyone else has been hitched. Woes.
Are you on someone's bridesmaid track? Are you on mine? Remember...you could possibly get disqualified. But I should chew on it for a little longer. Or...probably when the situation happens!
Revise the track!!!!! Seriously. I can't believe I may give you a slot, but you're going to disqualify me for giving you a FREAKING SLOT! WHAT IS THAT? Punishment for getting MARRIED?
ReplyDeletewth. i thought we agreed that i would be your bridesmaid.
ReplyDelete-unhappy
you can be my matron maid after you are married and have gotten me my beautiful takai gabang ;)
ReplyDeleteGene and I are having a serious conversation about whether your bridesmaid track is more important than our wedding.
ReplyDeletei'm just waiting for the day you tell me that my son/daughter is just not cute enough to be your flowerchild and that you cannot lower your standards just to spare me my feelings. won't that be something!
