Weddings and the dresses bride's maids wear (slight rant)

The main reason I dislike being invited to weddings is the fact that I have to wear a dress. The wedding I'm ranting about I don't even have a choice and I'm being forced to buy not one but two dresses. One that clashes horribly with my hair and one that I have a choice in. Now I understand that a woman's wedding is supposed to be the best day of her life and everything is supposed to be how she wants it but for God's sake if you have a (slightly) ginger bride's maid don't make them wear bright pink... It looks awful and they will hate you. And why can't I wear jeans to the reception... Nobody cares what I wear anyway, they're not going to your wedding to look at me, they're going to watch you get married!!

Anyway, rant over, I just had to get that off my chest. I apologise for any mistakes, I'm typing this on my phone.

so do you not normally wear dresses or skirts?

No. I usually wear denim jeans and long sleeved tops because I have quite fair skin and burn really easily even when it's not that sunny.

Eh, it's just the bride doing bride things for her wedding. Namely attempting to play god. I suggest you roll with it, because an angry bride is an unearthly monster.

I've already told her I'll do it so I have no choice. I also think she'd quite literally kill me if I refused to go along with it (I've known her since I was 3) and my life is not something I'm willing to risk.

*Sigh* I guess it doesn't matter who it is if you're a woman and you get married you want everything to be the way you plan it... Kinda like The Sims...
