It's not being supported by a man, so much as being supported by your spouse. Which has no inherent evil to it -- you did marry the guy, after all.

Spike's Bitches 25 to Life
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I can't tell you what my bridemaids were doing on my wedding day but I know they werebusy doing gruntwork and running bullshit interference for me so I didn't have any stress. These are not the people you want pissed at you.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Aimee, is it possible to be drunk through most of the wedding weekend?
I'd be willing to test this theory.

If you work it right - evenings and weekeknds can be for fun , not chores. One person working for money, one person working for comfort is amazing.
beth, this is exactly my plan. Having someone else's words to throw at the stupid voices in my head really helps shut them up. Thank you.
I am now giggling at the image of a wedding planner racing down a hallway yelling "Red Alert! There are two bridesmaids at adjacent tables at the breakfast buffet, and one of them is trying to borrow salt!"

Jessica, did you like being a barista?

And anyway, I thought it was only bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding.
Apparently it's bad luck to know the bride before the wedding.
My wedding was very small and my sister was my only attendant, because she would have been pissed off if I had chosen anyone else. I know what my friends were doing the day of the wedding, though. They were stealing greenery to decorate the chapel.
I have a new great-nephew.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I'm just trying to figure out how the bride managed to take the tradition that brides and grooms aren't supposed to see each other before the wedding and managed to extrapolate it to the entire wedding party.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I loved it, Aim. NSM the waking up at 4:30 am to go to work part, but I had great customers, and I was the motherfucking QUEEN of working the bar. And for a college student, the pay was pretty good (plus, free coffee).

The funny thing is, SHE'LL SEE THE GROOM BEFORE THE WEDDING!!! We're doing pictures at the reception site before the actual wedding. Everyone. So maybe she's trying to make up for it. I don't know.
