And -- she doesn't want the bridesmaids to get their hair done? So....you should all look like crap? What's next, no makeup? No showering the day of the wedding?

I worded that wrong. She doesn't want us getting it done at the same time. She doesn't want any of us to each anyone else until we are all dressed, hair did, makeup on, etc.

This is espcially nice/special/significant if its a mother/daughter and the groom will be adopting the daughter. Or even when their is some jealousy on the child's part & fear that the new spouse-to-be will in some way "take away" their parent or change the way he/she and their parent related before, when it was just the two of them.

Yeuuch, does this totally skeev anyone else? The whole thing, but this shit in particular.

OMGWTFTurbans!?!

Jess, is yours in Michigan? Has your bride forbidden you to eat?

No, sadly mine is a much less entertaining kind of crazy.

And why, you ask? The mother of the bride didn't want anyone to look better than her daughter. Did the bride step in and say "Mom, you CRAXY!"? Hell no. The bride said "Oh, I should have remembered this before you all got your hair done! Sorry."

That's nuts, yo.

Holy cow. I have friends whose entire wedding cost little more than that.

To be fair (about this one tiny thing) she only picked it because her birth mother is paying for it. If she was paying for it, she would have chosen something else.

Yes, birth mother. Her birth parents will be reuniting for the first time since her conception AT THE WEDDING!

$3000.00

My sister's (first) wedding cost about that. Her second one much less.

OMG. This just gets better and better. Aimee, you need to write a screenplay out of all of this. It would make one helluva trashy movie of the week.

Good lord Aimee. This is starting to have all the makings of an apocalyse. Anyone seen any omens recently?

I was going to say take a camera, and make a documentary, but that should have started a while ago, but the screenplay thing works, too

What I find particularly funny, is that they aren't having a bouquet/garter toss.

Why?

EVERYONE ELSE IS MARRIED!

I'm trying to picture the turbaned bridesmaids, but my brain is recoiling from the ridiculousness.

Let me get this straight. Bride is staging this elaborate and expensive production and she wants everyone in the production to not see each other backstage? Stilling pegging the crazyometer needle.
