THE BEST PART OF THE WEDDING PLANNING IS THE CANDY TASTING
My best friend's wedding is rapidly becoming my biggest nightmare. First, the guy that she is marrying is such a jerk. I have tried, gently telling her that maybe he is not the right guy for her, but somehow, she believes he is and that is that. Then she is very demanding and wants things just so. She let her sister pick out the bride's maid dresses and these things were floral print and hideous. I didn't know what to say about them, because after all she and her sister thought that they were just perfect, I on the other hand felt like an idiot in the thing, but that is what you sign on for when you are in a wedding party. I think that when I get married, I am going to pick a color and then let everyone choose the style of their own dress, after all the bridesmaids have to pay for these dresses, and yet the bride gets to tell you exactly what you have to wear, like it or not. And yes, if you think about it, it is a ridiculous concept. Anyway, she keeps assigning me jobs and they have all been boring, well accept for the candy job. I got to go and order the wedding candy and I got to taste test different ghirardelli chocolate. It was incredible, I felt like royalty and actually I brought my boyfriend along, because everyone doesn't agree on the tastes of things, plus I really don't like peanuts and I know that a lot of people do including my best friend, so I figured I would need a second opinion. I had a really good time doing this job and that so far has been the only fun that I have had in helping plan this wedding. You have heard of Bridezilla, well I think that is what she has a case of. She even told the groom to be that he couldn't wear the tux of his choice and she took him back to the store to have him get something "more appropriate" and the joke of that is that what he chose was a very simple black tuxedo, very appropriate. Well, I am now looking forward to the wedding for two reason, the delicious chocolates, and the fact the wedding will put an end to the wedding planning...finally. : )
