Four weddings. Three disgruntled ex-boyfriends. Two very effective chicken fillet boob-enhancers. And one gorgeous man. It's tough being a bridesmaid With less than an hour to go before her best friend, Grace, is to walk down the aisle, Evie is attempting to fulfil her most important bridesmaid role: to deposit the bride at the start-line at the appointed time. But with a bride famed for her chaotic sense of time, and the bride's daughter busy mashing Molton Brown into the expensive hotel carpet, minus underwear, the odds are stacked against her . . . At least she has her new 'chicken fillet' boob-enhancers to make her feel special. That is, until these are spotted poking over the top of her dress. So spotted by Jack - the most ruggedly attractive man Evie has ever laid eyes on. Evie is twenty-seven; a sparkly, down-to-earth journalist. She has never been in love and has started to fret that she never will be. Small wonder, then, that the prospect of being bridesmaid at no less than three impending weddings is one that fills her with trepidation. Things get worse when Evie learns that Jack is her friend Valentina's date. Valentina is beautiful, shallow and self-obsessed. Her dates tend to be mirror-images. Which can mean only one thing: Jack can't possibly be as good as he seems. But as they sit together talking late into the night, Evie finds herself yearning to believe he's all real.

@Kaye I also used wordy scrapbook paper in the candle holders. The invitations were made to look like a library card and I'm pretty proud of them because my hubby and I designed them and printed them all ourselves 😄 unfortunately don't have a good pic of them currently.

Kaye What a good idea ! I‘m guessing your husband loves books too, or did he let you choose since YOU like books? Very pretty colors for the dresses. 7y
Andrea4 @Kaye We're both academics and love reading so it was a great pick for us both. We used our fave authors for the tables. And the dresses turned out great-I told my girls just to get anything in the mint range and it turned out better than expected! 7y
Kaye They looked like they shopped together to get matching shades of the same colors. 7y

Andrea4 @Kaye That was the amazing thing-only 2 of them shopped with me, one got hers made, another (or maybe 2 others?) ordered hers online!! 7y
Kaye So did you carry regular flowers or something book related down the aisle ? Did your cake have a book on it? Gosh I love weddings. And cake. And flowers. And pretty dresses. 7y
Andrea4 @Kaye No flowers-not real ones. See the gold clutches on the table? Me and my girls carried those -Ipinned fabric flowers on them and mine had rhinestones too. The cake was actually just very plain, it matched our colours and had a rustic icing style-no fondant because we don't like it. 7y
Kaye They sure do have lots of choices nowadays. Back in our day, people didn‘t have dinners. They had cake and punch. We got married in a 100 year old country church. Colors were pink, yellow and blue. Daisies were our flowers. It was simple but pretty. My only regret was that I didn‘t stand my ground on the dress. I liked my dress but I wanted it in off white. My mother said Respectable Girls wore only white. Good grief. 7y
Andrea4 @Kaye yes weddings are definitely a big business now! Respectable Girls ??? I wore "gold." 7y
Kaye That‘s great that there are so many choices nowadays. Colors, themes, etc. It‘d be fun to plan another wedding, but I believe I‘ll pass. I‘ve been married since Grass started growing on the planet. A bit too old to go out hunting for a new guy and Round 2. 😱 7y
Andrea4 @Kaye it was fun but it can be overwhelming too! 7y
Kaye Thank you for taking time to post all your photos. I appreciate it. You had a beautiful wedding 👰🏼 7y
Andrea4 @Kaye Well thank you for taking an interest- it was a perfect day and I never mind remembering it 😊 thank you! 7y

This turned out to be a beautiful wedding weekend 💕. We LOVED the photos by the train tracks. Best lighting + setting.

I also found out that I was offered the job I wanted! I will be a school counselor next year for a K-8 school in the Bay Area. I will be able to work and finish out my second credential program by 2018! I am feeling like my professional life is coming together... becoming a therapist took SO long, and now it's paying off!

I'm a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding this weekend. So, I have very little time to read 'The Song Rising'. Siggggh my life is hard, especially since I have to figure out how the hell to strap my ladies into some sort of space-age adhesive backless bra. Men are all like 'women are equal to men' and I call bullshit on that until they have to tape their man bits into a super sticky cloth cup and pray it lasts for nine hours, amirite ladies?

Spiderfelt Women are definitely not dealt an equal deck. 8y
