Is that stupid or what?
My cousin is getting married next month and I'm actually not all that excited about it. That sounds terrible I know. Well first off she wanted me to be a bridesmaid. But when I found out the dress was going to cost $200 and the shoes $80 I was like .. I'm sorry, but I really cant afford that, PLUS the plane ticket, another $150 or so, plus the wedding gift, etc. I'm really struggling with money right now, living paycheck to paycheck, and just honestly cant afford that. So I backed out of being a bridesmaid and she was fine with that, just as long as I will be there she will be happy, etc. I just dont get how someone could expect their (8 or so???) bridesmaids to pay that kind of money for an outfit that you're going to wear once.
But even though I will just be a guest now there is just something about weddings I dont like. They're a big pain in the ass to me, all the planning, and deciding what to wear, and driving, and renting a room, and hanging out with hundreds of people I dont know. Yes there will be some family there but the majority of the people I wont know. I dont even know any of her bridesmaids. I guess I sound pretty lazy and bitchy but there must be someone out there that feels the same way.
