5 Things I have Learned from being a Bridesmaid

Currently, I have been in 5 weddings.
Every time someone has asked me to be one of their bridesmaids, I have felt overwhelmingly honored.
It is such a big deal to be in someone's wedding party.
Each wedding, I have been in, has been some of my dearest friends.
To be able to share in this monumental moment with them, from getting ready to hearing their excitement after coming down the aisle, as the new "Mr. and Mrs.," is one of the best things ever.

However, by being a bridesmaid five times, I have learned some very good tips.

1. Make sure you get around the bride when she is putting her dress on. Even if you don't know how to help her out, get in there. You are guaranteed a spot in the professional pictures. Make note, I did not know how to put April's dress together in the back. However, I am looking inquisitively which equaled spot in memorable moment.

2. Practice some model poses. A good bouquet of flowers and a church makes some great model photographs. They are given facebook profile pics. Where was the bride? Don't know, but got some good profile pics.

3. Smile big when walking down the runway, I mean aisle. This is your moment. Be the shining star, for 2 seconds. You never know when you will be the one in white walking down the aisle, so live your aisle of fame up.

  

4. Be the designated driver. Step up to the plate. Be the person who is the go to person. They want to know where the lady in white is, well you got her safe in sound in a seat belt next to you. She's not going anywhere.

 

5. Learn those dance moves now. This is your practice ground for when you decide to try out for "So You think you can dance." People won't think your weird if you look like a fool, trying to get all those quirks out of your robot. They think you are wedding dancing. 

Now I am going to go back to my homework and stop having ADD.
