Everything for Weddings

I have worn some really ugly bridesmaid dresses, but the last wedding I was in was the worst. Belinda was getting married, and I was her maid of honor. We had been best friends since we were in nappies, and I would do anything for her. That includes wearing the most hideous dress I had ever laid eyes on.The thing was horrible. First off the colors included cotton-candy pink, baby blue and lemon yellow. Some could have mistaken me for an Easter egg! The layered-chiffon monstrosity was ruffled around the neck and on the trim, and had a gigantic bow at the waist. Even worse all the bridesmaids had to wear white stockings with the dress. Not only did I look like an Easter egg, but I looked like a fat Easter egg.

The only thing that got me through the entire production was the thought of the expensive bridesmaid gifts I knew Belinda would give us. I participated in the wedding because I loved my best bud, but I’ll tell you what—the diamond necklace she gave me didn’t hurt.

It can be a bit difficult purchasing the perfect personalized wedding gift for a newlywed couple, but for my cousin and his bride, I bought them this great serving set and champagne flutes.  Some couples will buy their own before the ceremony, but more times than not, they are so busy with every other major detail, that something as simple as serving sets will be forgotten.

My cousin and his wife were no exception and there was brief panic at the reception, until I ran out there with my box in tow, and they were able to cut the cake and drink champagne with this “personalized” present.
