Because the bride doesn't bear the round-trip air tickets for bridesmaids who work in other places, the two friends who had made an appointment fell out and pulled each other out.
I really don't understand children nowadays. Isn't it a very happy and glorious thing to be a bridesmaid for a friend? Don't you always let your best unmarried friend be the best man and maid of honor when you get married? It doesn't matter if you're not close now. The hot search story also said that the bride rented a bridesmaid when the bridesmaid didn't come, which made people stunned. Bridesmaids also have leases?
I remember my experience as a bridesmaid for two girlfriends, which was more than 20 years ago. I didn't pay much attention at that time, and I didn't understand anything. It's interesting to think about it now.
When Pei, a good friend of the mainland, got married, I was the maid of honor. At that time, there was no bridesmaid group, all of them were bridesmaids and groomsmen.
I was working in Shenzhen at that time. I was in my twenties, which was the age to pursue individuality and stick to myself. I am very confident in my own aesthetics. I chose a set of abstract school bedding very early, the color is neutral and modern, I can't appreciate it, and I don't like red, green and tacky things.
More than a dozen sets of bedding are huge, and the price is nearly 1000 yuan. I asked my friends who went back to Beijing to visit relatives to take the train, and Pei went to the railway station to get it back when the train stopped. There was no such thing as express logistics at that time.
In order to match the bedding of this modern painting school, Pei also specially customized the curtains of the new house with similar colors, mainly dark brown.
A week before Pei got married, I flew back to Pei's city. The groom found a classmate to drive and met me at the airport. The male students also felt that Pei and I had a deep friendship and we flew back to attend the wedding.
A few days before the wedding, I was very busy and confused, and I was checking for leaks every day. Busy without touching the ground, spending money like water.
Pei works in a university, and enthusiastic colleagues and friends also come to help. Finally, one day, a sister couldn't help it, saying that the colors of bedding and curtains were too dim, not festive, not like marriage. It is estimated that my colleagues have been holding back for a long time and can't help but say it.
In order to match the wedding atmosphere, I went to the department store to buy a set of red, white and rose bedding, and the curtains can only be like this.
On the wedding day, I wore a new dress specially bought as a bridesmaid, but my new dress is a dark brown plaid vest skirt, which is very intellectual in modern vocabulary, but it has no festive color at all. As a bridesmaid, I know nothing about abstinence, just wandering around.
Although there is a local custom of disturbing bridesmaids, on the one hand, Pei has long said that noise is forbidden, on the other hand, my good students look bookish, and the eager male students of the groom dare not do anything.
After the wedding reception, Pei invited me to stay for a few more days. Considering that I can't be with others on my wedding night, I will buy a ticket and go home quickly.
When I was a bridesmaid for the first time, my performance was not very good, and the second time was not much better. I'm still a blind punk who doesn't understand.
The second time as a bridesmaid was in Shenzhen, and Fa Xiaoping, who grew up together, got married. In order to cater to parents' requirements, a wedding was held in the company canteen.
Although it was in the canteen, the wedding was grand. Ping's father is the leader of this unit. At that time, he led a "Big Mac" project, in which all subordinate companies participated, and the number of people attending the wedding was naturally large.
Before the wedding, I asked Ping what wedding gift I would give her. She said that if there were no gifts, someone would be the maid of honor.
I really thought that our tacit friendship from childhood was not so empty, so I really didn't plan to prepare a gift. As for money and red envelopes, it is even more vulgar.
As a result, when talking to colleagues in the office, the male colleague opposite looked contemptuous. "People are very polite to you. Are you serious? Are you still a bridesmaid to attend the wedding in a vacuum? "
It doesn't seem reasonable to wake the dreamer with a word. So I went to buy a gift on purpose. What should I buy? I should have personality or tacky. I choose from the left and choose from the right. Finally, I bought a bunch of floral works and dried flowers in the gift shop.
This time, the new clothes bought by bridesmaids are finally not so dim. The light blue dress matches that bunch of dried flowers quite well, like a female secretary.
The defiant bride wore sneakers under the wedding dress and whistled all the way to the wedding scene of the restaurant. On the big stage of the restaurant, except for the best man standing upright with a serious face, the groom was chewing gum, and I had a short meeting with the bride, trying to listen to the poem recited by the bride's mother. Dad had too many opportunities to speak, and this time my mother finally got a chance to speak, which greatly expressed her feelings.
Holding a bunch of dried flowers to attend the wedding, the male colleague came back with hopeless helplessness. "It is unlucky for people to get married and send dried flowers."
Alas, my younger male compatriots are more reasonable than me. Why can't I be so ignorant?
Two unsuccessful bridesmaid experiences were completely handled according to my own understanding. Fortunately, at that time, there were not so many wedding routines, so many stylized processes, and some were natural and true emotional expressions, which witnessed the milestone of my best friend's life.
Just like Pei, the day before the wedding, she had a quarrel with the groom and went back to her parents' house to get married. She told me angrily that she would not get married tomorrow, so that he could not find me!
As a result, I got up at three in the morning and went to the wedding dress shop to make up. Brides dressed like bridal shops are all like giant pandas. We nicknamed them steamed buns. But as soon as I put on the wedding dress, I suddenly became a fairy, shining, which really made the groom look silly. ...
More than 20 years have passed, and each of us has passed the most important stage of life. The former teenager has become a joke.
The essence of life lies not in the form, but in walking through every day like running water, and living up to the dream of youth, you will be placed in the future.
