Dressing Teresa and the Bridesmaids


Well, Teresa has a skirt and top picked out. Finally. And you know, if you think some days it's hard to get dressed so you look presentable, imagine trying to dress yourself so you look presentable... for pictures, and a crowd who actually will be there to watch you stand up and do something! (In our case, get married.) This may come as a surprise to you, but I'm not exactly a natty dresser. I've often been caught wearing pearls with sweats. My favorite shoes are Italian -- Italian ski boots! It is only because of my distance from a major metropolis that I haven't been photographed as a fashion "Don't" for Glamour magazine. So, with all of these factors working against me, it is quite a surprise that I've found something to wear for the wedding. Brace yourselves.
Fortunately for the Bridesmaids (let's include Lacey as a Bridesmaid, even though she's the Groom's Best Girl. As far as attire, shopping, input on dresses, parties and functions, chatter, she's a Bridesmaid. If anything, she has a tougher job doing double-duty!), I am trying to completely opt out of picking their dresses for them. Well, almost.
Really, all the bride wants is for the groom to see her for the first time in her dress and be speechless. Okay, and she wants pictures that she doesn't have to burn, too.
