Ladies in waiting…

March 22, 2011

Thou art chosen to be amongst….okay so it’s not that serious!

Picking the bridesmaids (bm’s) seemed to be a harder task than expected. There is no scheme, technique or practical method just a load of confusion. A confusion simply because when I jotted down the names of possible bm’s, I had over a dozen names. I could already see faces reading the previous sentence and thinking “do you seriously think you have that many close friends”, answer yes (at least I think) and I have 6 sisters.  Now, as many articles suggest and as a good friend of mine said, “make sure your bridesmaids are ladies you can count on and know they will be there for you”.  Made perfect sense but the list didn’t budge so much.

In the end, I made a decision that I knew would be best for both parties; besides not everyone can be a bridesmaid! but they can still be lovely ladies without a title.  Though, I may have not picked some of these ladies they knew I still loved them and that is what mattered.

Moving along, next was the task of asking. A simple phone call couldn’t complete it for me so instead I created a card.

The front of the card:
Middle (depending if it was a bm or moh):
Back:
The bottom reads “cool as a cucumber”, because I really am!!
My out of town bm’s received it in the mail while the one’s in town, I invited them to what they thought was a ladies night out dinner. Upon arrival, after putting them to work for a few (which I will show in a later post). I handed them the envelope,  I do wish I had them in better envelopes but trust, when planning a gala such as a wedding, you tend to forget things/items and even people. So I forgot the actual envelopes at home and had to use the remaining mailing envelopes I had in the car.

This was just the beginning to my quirky ideas!!

Blindsided

This year started off with a blessing as I birthed my precious third baby. Two months later I find myself hospitalized for sickle cell crisis not once but twice. I never deemed myself a sickle cell warrior as I grew up watching my other sisters deal with this disease a lot worse than I ever […]

Fear in Vulnerability

I recently shared on instagram some personal trials. I stated it was a long, vulnerable transparent post; which it was! I originally came on here (the blog) to paste the post so it could be available on most of my platforms but I was inclined to post about fear in vulnerability instead.  I contemplated for […]
