OK, so my Anthony and I flew back home last week to be there for his best friend's wedding.  He was the best man, so we knew we had quite a bit of work ahead of us once we got there.

The bride was including me with a lot of her stuff so I didn't feel left out I guess, which was very sweet of her.  But by the end I think she was so grateful for me because I was the only one of her team pitching in.  I was the one doing all the touches at the hall the night before with her, I was the one getting things ready on the morning on, I was the one pulling her aside to calm her down.

And what did her bridesmaids do?  SAT ON THEIR BUTTS!!  I wish I was joking, or even exaggerating, but I'm not.  Quite literally they sat on their asses on the staircase at the hall while everyone else was running around to get things finished.  I was so chocked up when I heard one of them complain on the phone "Yeah, we were at the hall until 10:30 last night getting it ready!".  No.  No you weren't.  YOU were at the hall taking up space while EVERYONE ELSE was getting it ready.

I mean really, lets break down the word bridesmaid shall we?  There's the word bride, and the word maid.  Bride's maid.  Maid TO THE BRIDE.  It's not called Bridesprincesses, it's the Bride's maids.  And Maid of Honour is STILL A MAID!  GAH

Don't get me wrong, it was fun, and I didn't mind working my arse off because it's just who I am anyhow - I feel better with stuff to do than sitting around.  But I'm so exhausted.  Not only did I do all the work that the bridesmaids should have been doing, but I ended up doing all the running around with the Best Man (since he IS my boyfriend and all I guess haha). 

It just made all the hard work really hard to handle when I kept seeing the royal highnesses doing far less work than the best man's best girl and the bride herself.

I hope this was an anomaly and not a new trend!!
