My sister in-law was recently asked to stand up as a bridesmaid in her neighbor's wedding. She has been friends with her neighbor for 12 years and they are pretty close. The problem is, the bride picked out the dress she wants her bridesmaids to wear. It's an over-priced, slinky, form-fitting spaghetti-strap thing. My neighbor, along with six of the other eight bridesmaids is overweight. Seven of the eight bridesmaids literally look like stuffed sausages in these things. As if that wasn't bad enough, the bride also wants them to wear a $120.00 tierra (sp?) and matching heels, another $90.00. All Burnt Orange. All in all, this setup is going to cost each bridesmaid close to $600. for an "outfit" they will NEVER wear again. A mutiny is stirring. Five of the eight are talking "Thanks, but no thanks" Isn't this selfish of the bride? Shouldn't the bridesmaids agree on a dress, but the bride just pick the color? If the five decide to back out, would they be wrong to do so?
