Jessica, my little sister.
Rebbecca: coworker and good friend.
Kat: again, coworker and friend.
Each lady brings a different skill set. My sister knows my history. Rebecca has experience, already being married and planning her own wedding. Kat brings playfulness, the other day she had an epiphany that we should have bubbles at the wedding and she would be in charge of procuring them.
A couple of weeks ago, we all got together for lunch. You'd figure we'd just chat and throw out ideas. Nope, not with me around. By the end of lunch, each of my ladies had picked out their dresses. Each gal is a different body type so I didn't want to throw them all in the same dress. I also knew the price of "bridesmaid's" dresses but still wanted a cohesive look. What I decided was to have the ladies pick out patterns. So by the end of our first bridesmaid's get together, their dresses had been picked out. After lunch, Jessica, Rebecca and I went to our local Jo Ann Fabric store to browse fabrics. As the three of us walked up and down the aisles of fabric, I kept pointing out the color of blue I wanted them in, and Jessica and Rebecca kept saying it was too bright (though Jessi also kept saying it was my wedding and she'd wear whatever I wanted her to wear). I was then faced with a tough decision. Either stick to my guns and put them in a color they'd never wear again or compromise on the brightness of the color. I really didn't want to do either so I came up with a middle ground; they'd all be in black with the bright turquoise as an accent somewhere. Jessi's dress has a yolk that will be turquoise, Rebecca's a bow in the back, and Kat's a sash.
By the way, here are their dresses.
Kat's dress (she's as skinny as a stick)
Rebecca's dress which I absolutely love
Jessica's dress, it has pockets.
I've got three gals I can count on in the next year and a half and who I can't wait to have stand up for me when I say me vows. Now to start planning our next outing.
