Bridesmaids
(Andrews McMeel, 2002)
Say the word “bridesmaid” and immediately, vivid and colorful images
spring to mind. Usually, these images include some shade of pink and,
most likely, some taffeta and tulle. Flowers are definitely involved.
And even though the envisioned bridesmaid will probably not wear the
dress again (despite her bride’s sincerest assurances), a bridesmaid is
cheerful, ready, and able.
Being asked to be a bridesmaid is an honor that brings with it special
challenges. If the bride gets locked out of her apartment the morning
of her wedding, it’s usually a bridesmaid who comes to the rescue. If a
bride breaks the strap on her gown minutes before the ceremony, it will
probably be her bridesmaid who saves the day with a needle and thread.
It is the bridesmaid’s role to keep her bride calm, to encourage her,
to toast her, and to make her wedding day a once-in-a-lifetime memory.
That’s a bridesmaid’s job, whether she is a first-time junior
bridesmaid or a virtual pro, donning a gown for the sixteenth time.
Because no matter what else a bridesmaid is (the bride’s sister,
cousin, co-worker, or roommate), she is chosen because she is a
cherished friend.
This book is for all the women who have worn or will wear dyed-to-match
shoes.
You go, girls!

| What the Critics say about Bridesmaids |
Connecticut Post:
“Bridesmaids reads like a wedding album with pithy
toasts to bridesmaids like, “She keeps me grounded,” alongside a photo
of a bridesmaid frantically arranging a bride’s veil in the wind. Or,
“She will wear the dress. Even if it’s not her color.
