About me:
I am constantly going to other people's weddings and spending money that I don't have on things like Cuisinarts and silver-plated punch ladles.
I never really gave much thought to marriage until all of my friends started deserting me and heading off to married-land.
My mom likes to put me on the spot at family dinners with questions like, "So, do you think that he is the one? Should I be looking for a mother of the bride dress?" even though I have only gone on like, 3 dates with a guy.
I am not sure exactly what I want but it sure feels like I am falling behind and will soon be the last single friend standing!
Who I'd like to meet: Fellow women who are caught in The Bridal Wave! What's The Bridal Wave?
Here are the most common criteria of Bridal Wavus Overwhelmus.
1. When you get together with friends, you find your eyes glazing over as they discuss fittings, floral arrangements, and the advantages of buffet style.
2. You could, if forced to do so, describe two bridal shower games.
3. You have been pulled out to the dance floor against your will to play catch the bouquet.
4. You can name three celebrity engagements from the past two years. (It’s ok if they’re already divorced.)
5. Your grandparents’ favorite conversation topics are Social Security, hip replacement surgery, and your flat-lining love life.
6. You keep asking yourself why your money is so tight even though you haven’t splurged on a trip or a bag you loved in a long time.
7. You have heard “you’ll be able to wear this dress again” more times than you care to count.
8. You have looked at an engaged friend and thought to yourself, How is she getting married while I’m still single?
9. You have ever felt like your married friends feel sorry for you because you are still single.
10. You worry that you will be the last of your friends to get married.
If you have experienced more than half of these symptoms, then it is my duty to inform you that you are caught in the Bridal Wave. But hang on, sister.
Help is on the way!
