at least her mommy loves her, at least it's fun to mock, not racism wank! yay, otf_wank's thoughts on weddings

I have to admit, I don't even know how to sum this up.

Bride - or should I say, former Bride - reveals her theory that Brides are the Center of the Universe

After opening with her credentials to be advising Bridesmaids, she says:

And yes, my dear ladies, being in a bridal party is a job, and I am going to tell you what to do, thus this letter. I am advocate for the Bride in your life.

And then she goes on. And on. And on. With numbering, for easy reference. And then more numbering.

The comments are a fascinating mix of "OMG! you are so right!!!" and "OMG! You are so CRAZY".

The whole thing makes me glad I eloped.

	I was asked to be a bridesmaid for a bride like that. I helped. I knew that was my "job," but the final straw was when she insisted that I wear contacts and not my glasses on the day of the wedding. At the time, it was painful for me to wear contacts. That's when I got the hell out of the wedding party and the friendship. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I couldn't wear contacts (which is the reason why I was such a good candidate for LASIK), so I understand that. Though, I'd say, "glasses for the ceremony, but take 'em off for pictures." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	LASIK doesn't work for me. :( Pupils are too big - would still have to wear corrective lenses at night and in low light. Which is what I always did. But no. She didn't want me to wear them at all. Not walking down the aisle at church, not in church, not at the reception. I tried to explain, squinting all day would be much more unattractive. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I had pretty bad astigmatism, so that was a concern. Luckily, it worked out, and I'm 20/40 (as opposed to 20/2300) now, two years later. Sucks it couldn't work out for you, though.

I went through a period of time where I used gas-permeables, so I think that's what I did for one sister's wedding. My eyes always dried them out, though, and they tended to get STUCK to my eye. I think I wore them for both sisters' weddings. When I was my friend's bridesmaid, I think I did that glasses-for-reception thing. This was when black glasses were really hip, though, so I could get away with it.

BTW, my boyfriend is currently laughing over your icon. XD
