Bride's Maid and the Maid of Honor

Ok, so the sad reality is that no matter how hot and gorgeous the bride maybe, she is not going to marry the best man. We have established that in my previous post. What about her maids? There is nothing better than talking about the Best Man's counter part. The Maid of honor and the Brides Maid.

One piece of advice I have for all would be Brides - Before deciding on your bridal party, stand everyone, including yourself, infront of a mirror first, anyone that is prettier than you, or have the potential to look better than you after Make Up, these people, OUT.

Since turning 25, the Wedding invitations just PILE my mail box. Being a man with good memory, I still remember every detail to MOST of the Weddings I've attended. And trust me I've seen a lot of things. I still remember one wedding in particular. I am a good friend of the groom, but I wasn't part of the bridal party because I am the MC for the night. Anyways, I've known him since he was dating this girl (His wife now), but nobody really knows the girl too well. She is the controlling type, and as far as she is concern, hanging out with us is a waste of her time. In fact, she think that its a waste of HIS time. I think we met up and hang out with the groom twice for the three years that they were dating.

See here is another thing Ladies, if you are with someone that you think you want to get Married to, its not a good idea to isolate yourself from his friends, or isolate him from his friend. It would suck if you have to get your other ladies friend to dress up as the groom's man and the best man because the poor bastard lost all his friend on your account. It just doesn't work.

So anyways, since I don't know the Bride too well (again, met her twice before their wedding), I don't know any of her friends, and since I wasn't part of the bridal party, I wasn't invited to any meeting. The only thing I was invited to are one on one meeting with the groom to talk about the run down. So, I NEVER met anyone that is part of the Bridal party until the wedding day. What a disaster, had I met everyone before hand, I would have suggested against her choice for her Maid of Honor. The Maid of Honor was a runner up in the 2005 Asian Pageant of Montreal. See, this is not an issue if the bride was the WINNER of the same year, but she wasn't.. far from it. And here is the interesting thing, they decided that EVERYONE will have a white gown.

Here is the problem, it wouldn't be such a big deal we only have one of the two ingredient (A super hot Maid or Honor and the white gown), but when both of them goes together, you are pretty much putting up a comedy show. Imagine this, aside from the people who knows who the Bride truly is, others that walk in to the church saw 5 pretty girl dressed in white, they will assume (pretty good guess I'd have to say) the bride is one of them, and it has to be the prettiest one. So, one after another, walk up to the maid of honor and congratulate her and give her a hug. Can I congratulate you too so that I can tell everyone I hugged a hot gorgeous girl?

With a blushing face, she point to the bride with half her hair and makeup done and said "Sorry, but she is the bride". Good job guys!

Another interesting thing is that, people from the Peagent received professional training on posing, and its not difficult for other photographers and people to notice such great beauty and posing talent, the wedding become the Maid of Honor's personal fashion show! I am willing to bet money that there were more pics of her than the bride herself

So here you go, think before you choose your lineup for your party....
