Diamonds & Pearls, Satin & Lace
Issues of Brides, books
all over the place
I’ve chosen my gown, and
now it is time,
to give my attention to very
special girlfriends of mine
You’ve been right
beside me in good
times and bad, we
have such great
memories of times
we have shared
So now lets get going!
Lets have some more fun,
Time to go pick out a bridesmaid gown
for everyone!

For My Bridesmaid Rosanna

In life there are old friends
and those who are new,
when choosing a bridesmaid
it had to be you.
From the moment we met
you've been the friend,
always close by
with a shoulder to lend.

So I thank you for all
your help and concern,
conversation filled days,
and all that I've learned.

Without you I don't know
what I would have done,
certainly not had
near as much fun.

In life there are old friends
and those who are new,
but none like the true friend
I've found in you.

Even though we don’t speak everyday
and I don’t see you as often as I would like
I would be honored if you would stand by me on a winter day
when my love is sworn to Ronnie.

Love you always, Theresa

To my Bridesmaid
Your friendship is a gift from God.
Today I count my blessings as a joyful bride
for I am truly thankful to have you by my side.
Because there are so many ways that you show you care
and just as many special times together we have shared.
Your laughter, tears and thoughtfulness make it so easy to see,
your friendship is one of the greatest gifts God has given me



To my Bridesmaid, my friend...
I'll always fondly remember the special times we've shared.
You've laughed with me, you've cried with me, and always shown you care.
I thank you for your friendship and for standing by my side.
You've shared with me the special times, our friendship grows each day;
we've shared our secrets and our dreams, and laughed along the way.
And now at this most special time as my marriage and new life begin;
I'm glad to have you by my side, and thankful to have you as my friend.
So at this very special time, the day I am a bride,
I want you to be a bridesmaid who stands by my side.

Bridesmaids: Your Duties in Detail

The bridesmaid is an integral part of any wedding, on hand to comfort, console, multi-task, and party hearty at all bridal event(s). Whether it's your first bridesmaid gig or your fiftieth, here's a cheat sheet of your to-dos:

Offer to help with pre-wedding tasks. Try to be specific when you volunteer. For example, say, 'Would you like me to help you shop for bridesmaid dresses/stuff invitations/pack for the honeymoon?' instead of just, 'What can I do?'

Scout out bridesmaid dresses, shoes, jewelry, and other accessories. Pay for the entire ensemble. (Break in your shoes before the wedding day -- this can minimize slipping, blisters, and aching tootsies.)

Help to plan, co-host, and pay for the shower and bachelorette party with other bridesmaids.

If the maid/matron of honor isn't already handling this task, keep a record of all the gifts received at various parties and showers (so that the bride/couple can write thank-you notes); maintain RSVP lists.

Attend ceremony rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. (Keep abreast of all pre-wedding parties, and go to as many as possible.)

Run last-minute errands. On the day of the wedding, be on hand to confirm flower delivery times, meet and greet the ceremony officiant, or satisfy junk food cravings.

Stand in the receiving line at the bride's request.

Serve as auxiliary hostess at the reception by introducing guests, making sure they know where the bar is located, and inviting them to sign the guest book.

Hit the dance floor when the music kicks in. Dance with groomsmen during the formal first-dance sequence. Also, be on the lookout for toe-tapping guests who might need encouragement and/or a dance partner.

Give the maid/matron of honor a break by helping to carry the bride's train whenever necessary. Bustle the train before dancing begins, and be ready to help fix it if it comes unhooked. Accompany the bride on visits to the restroom, if asked.

Purchase a wedding present perhaps with one of the other bridesmaids. This provides more buying power, and two heads are better than one when it comes to gift ideas. Sometimes the entire bridesmaid troupe pitches in for one knock-her-socks-off wedding gift.

Be a trooper, no matter how stressful the ordeal becomes. Try not to complain about the bridesmaid dress -- even if the color is horrendous. Be gracious and tactful.

Provide plenty of emotional support during the planning and on the wedding day.
