Going Bridal

Great site.

My favorite part is the BrideAudit -- "Don't let your guests stiff you!" According to the BrideAudit, my entitlement factor is severely lacking.

Years ago, my college roommate fired me as one of her bridesmaids. The faults broke down like this:

- I should have told her when she asked me to be a bridesmaid that I couldn't afford it and didn't feel comfortable in the role, instead of waiting until a few months before the wedding to finally buck up and break it to her.
- She should've been gracious about it. She wasn't.

As the child of divorced parents who had a huge wedding, I don't get the emphasis on the ceremony versus the meaning of it all. I probably never will. Fortunately, I'm marrying someone who feels the same.
