The bridesmaids must look as ugly as possible to delay the onset of the groom's extramarital hanky-panky.

tea-length means between the knee and ankle; it hits at the most unflattering part of the leg imo.

Tea-length dress = comes up to one's teabag

Well, teeeeechnically it was to keep the other bridesmaids from having to purchase a pair of matching shoes, because they're my sister's best friends and some couldn't have afforded any kind of shoes that I would have agreed to wear BUT the insanity was my sister not standing up to my mom and saying that we should all wear white or cream shoes that DIDN'T HAVE TO MATCH. But really I think there was no one shoe style that everyone had or could afford BUT J CREW FLIP-FLOPS BURN, THEY BURN.

I wish that a) I were ever getting married, and b) that if I were, it would be possible to make my sister wear something horrid without inflicting it on any of my other friends. Ooooooooh, maybe I could get married while she's PREGNANT and she'll have to be in all the photos!

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:30 (nineteen years ago)

― brownie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:34 (nineteen years ago)

Paint your hair and face green so everyone pays attention to YOU all night and not at her? :-)

― StanM, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:34 (nineteen years ago)

(er, to)

― StanM, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:34 (nineteen years ago)

oh did i mention the "rehearsal dinner" is a 4 hour long STARTING AT NOON concert by future bro-in-law's old band from ohio followed by a pool party.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:36 (nineteen years ago)

POOL PARTY

― river wolf, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:36 (nineteen years ago)

you can't call it a dinner, then!

― brownie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:37 (nineteen years ago)

....at least it's not a "find the leprechaun's pot o' gold!" treasure hunt?

― jessie monster, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:37 (nineteen years ago)

i told my mom i was going to wear this to rehearsal dinner. she has not e-mailed me since ;_;

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:37 (nineteen years ago)

well that would have treasures at least

― river wolf, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:37 (nineteen years ago)

― Mr. Que, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:38 (nineteen years ago)

― river wolf, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:38 (nineteen years ago)

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:39 (nineteen years ago)

i'll pray for tombot first, if that's okay w/you

― Mr. Que, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:40 (nineteen years ago)

dude he just has to wear a suit from the men's warehouse and doesn't even have to deal with a crazy lady with a lord of the rings tattoo at all.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:41 (nineteen years ago)

but you can just do that, whatever!!

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:41 (nineteen years ago)

What does he have to wear? Pink shirt, green cummerbund?

― StanM, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:41 (nineteen years ago)

yeah dudes almost never get fucked sartorially in these situations.

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:42 (nineteen years ago)

(AAARRRGGGHHH damn you, xpost)

― StanM, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:42 (nineteen years ago)

i actually have not seen his suit so for all i know it is leopard print.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:42 (nineteen years ago)

I actually had to convince my mother that the BMs shoes didn't have to be exactly the same. God, I am so glad that I will *hopefully* never have to plan a wedding ever again. Although it was fun and most things turned wonderfully, I hated planning and am very glad I only had to deal with doing so for six months. I feel so bad for you regarding the bedazzled flip flops - that's pretty bad. Also, a girl I work with did make her BMs carry parasols. The groomsmen worse khakis with flower short sleeved button downs. For serious!

― ENBB, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:43 (nineteen years ago)

The groomsmen worse khakis with flower short sleeved button downs.

UH.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

whoa that's a bit much. unless they got married on a beach but even then...!

my mom was glad enough that i agreed to wear an actual gown instead of the minidress i had chosen for myself so i mean basically the BMs could've shown up in pajamas and she wouldn't have cared.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

just read above comments - the cowoker bride also had a pool party after the reception and she herself wore flip flops. They weren't just any flip flops though - they were those classy platform flip flops made out of foam or some crap like that.

― ENBB, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:46 (nineteen years ago)

hahahahahahahahaha oh god those things, my friend brought them up when i was telling him about all this. "at least you don't have to wear the platform flip-flops."

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:48 (nineteen years ago)

I mean seriously, what the hell.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:49 (nineteen years ago)

Ha - me too! I initially found a short pink dress I wanted to wear but wound up, much to my mother's delight, wearing a very simple off the shoulder long white dress BM dress that looked enough like a proper wedding gown so that she got off my back. Still, she had something to say about the shoes. Amazing.

― ENBB, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:49 (nineteen years ago)

haha it is weird as someone who once potty-trained a toddler to attempt to read "BM" as anything other than bowel movement

― nickalicious, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:51 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, my bowel movement dress was pretty amazing. ;-)

That reminds me of last night when I had to explain to my husband's father why I couldn't handle hearing him talk about wanting to pick up some "faggots with peas and chips" on the way home. In England faggots are meatball type things. When his Mom said that I "shouldn't bother trying faggots because [I] wouldn't like them," I nearly died especially since we were in a bar and within earshot of several other tables.

― ENBB, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 20:01 (nineteen years ago)

Ally, if you wear that silver leaotard, I will give you $5.

The one time I was a bridesmaid, I asked my friend "what shoes should I wear??" and she said "Oh, I don't care".

― tokyo rosemary, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 20:50 (nineteen years ago)

At my wedding I didn't really care about the shoes the bridesmaids were wearing either -- those dyed-to-match satin shoes are always heinous and gross, I wouldn't force people to wear them. But those are still more palatable than bedazzled flip-flops, ugh. I hate flip-flops enough without any bedazzlement.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 20:59 (nineteen years ago)

ally i know you probably already said this but where in AZ is the wedding?

― g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 20:59 (nineteen years ago)

yes where exactly?

― brownie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 21:01 (nineteen years ago)

on the beautiful campuses of asu.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 13 March 2007 21:01 (nineteen years ago)

So it's at a college campus, on St. Patrick's Day. So much makes more sense now.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 21:03 (nineteen years ago)

shut up.

i used to live right next door to asu for a year.

in fact, i lived in a sorority house at asu for two weeks of my life.

― g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 21:04 (nineteen years ago)

I am frightened by "bedazzlement". Bedazzlement is, like, something that happens to people when they take acid and wear color refracting glasses at the roller rink. Your shoes shouldn't be bedazzled, this could lead to disastrous fall-downs.

― nickalicious, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 21:05 (nineteen years ago)

by arizona law, sorority houses are technically, legally considered whorehouses.
