“I miss the days you thought I was perfect, because I felt perfect.”

excuses.

“that’s how i am?”

I’m tired of the excuses. I don’t respect people who waste time. I don’t respect people who don’t try. I don’t respect people who don’t fight for what they want. Grow up. If things don’t work out find another route. Don’t give up. And don’t make excuses for yourself. The only person you are letting down in that case, is you.

Bridesmaids 101: A guide to the ladies in your Bridal Party.

weddings-in-wonderland:

A Bridesmaid is a member of the Brides wedding party. Usually she is a young woman, who is a friend or family member of the Bride (and sometimes, if the groom has a close friend, or family member she will also be placed on the Brides side of the Wedding party) Traditionally, she is an unwed young lady who is of marriageable age. There is also the option of asking a younger relative, but she would be designated as a ‘Junior Bridesmaid’. There is also a ‘Chief Bridesmaid’ chosen. Usually, this particular Bridesmaid is called the Maid of Honor (or Matron of Honor if this Bridesmaid is married). In modern times there is usually more than one Bridesmaid although the exact number depends on the venue, budget, the brides preferences, and how many groomsmen her husband-to-be has chosen.

But why do Brides have Bridesmaids? Where did the idea come from? It varies, depending on the culture, religion, and moment in time. One of the most popular Bridesmaid Legends is that in old times, Bridesmaids were supposed to dress identically to the Bride. It was believed that ‘evil spirits’ could attend Weddings and spoil its execution. Another reason for the look-alike outfits stems from early Roman times when Bridesmaids were to form a sort of ‘shield’ so that if by chance any theives, or scorned suitors attempted to hurt the Bride or steal her dowry before or during the wedding, then they would protect her. 

Although in current times Bridesmaids aren’t required to battle anyone for the safety of the Bride, they are however relied upon for support and sometimes asked to perform small tasks to help the Brides busy load. Bridesmaids are also expected to attend all wedding related events such as the Bridal Shower and Bachelorette party, in some instances they will help plan them aswell. The Maid of Honor has a bit more responsibility, she is usually the closest to the Bride and is relied upon not just for support, but as the Brides right hand. The Maid of Honor also has the option (not obligation) of hosting the Bridal Shower and/or the Bachelorette party. As your Bridesmaids are no psychic, after they have accepted their role you should present them with the informationh they will need. From a list of duties, to a copy of your guestlist if they are helping with the shower.
