One Down, Two to Go

On the heels of the fantastic royal wedding, I am now getting prepared for my slew of weddings this summer season.

In a far less public (but definitely not less fabulous) ceremony, Prince Albert of Monaco will wed Charlene Wittstock in July. But more details will come on that later!

The most important event in my world this season is my cousin's wedding, in June, to her longtime boyfriend. I am a bridesmaid in the wedding (the second-youngest), which is a new experience for me. 

About a month ago I saw the trailer for the new movie Bridesmaids, and it made me realize that I knew absolutely nothing about what it meant to be a bridesmaid. After all, I am relatively new to wedding attendance or participation (second wedding I have been to, first wedding I have been in.) So with a journalistic spirit I decided to look up 'the bridesmaid.'

I found quite a few funny stories, horrible faux-pa's, to-do lists, and more, but the most concise list I could find on the topic came from (you guessed it!) eHow:

The list is the most complete that I could find, and gives the best advice of any that I looked through on Google. So, if you're like me and are a soon-to-be bridesmaid, take a look through them and see what you can do. 

There is a website called Bridesmaids 101, which has much more detailed listings of bridesmaids duties, with specific instructions if you are interested. http://www.bridesmaid101.com/bridesmaid_duties.html

Or, if you're just in it for the funny stories, take a look at these:

Enjoy! And look for more information on Prince Albert and Charlene Wittstock to come in the future!
