Women everywhere have been dreaming of the day that they say “i do”, but who has been dreaming of being the unmarried friend standing by their side? The bridesmaids are the ones that stand by the bride through all of her wedding ups and downs. From picking out the dress, cake, invitations, flowers, venue, vows and all of the details that go into making the perfect wedding. It sounds like such an honor to be chosen to help the bride through this stressful yet happy time in her life right?
Some will agree, right; while others will say that being a bridesmaid is not an honor at all. When you think about bridesmaids your mind quickly wanders to movies that are centered around bridesmaids. One of my favorite movies about a specific bridesmaid is 27 Dresses. It’s about a woman that believes in love, but it just hasn’t been able to find her and in the mean time all of her friends are entering happy marriages. In the start of the movie she is the maid of honor in two weddings on the same night, so she is trying to toggle back and forth between the two all night so she is there for all of the important wedding events of both of her friends magical day that she spent so much time helping to put together.
As the movie goes on you find that she has been a bridesmaid in 27 weddings. After leaving her day planner in the back of a cab, a writer begins to be interested in writing a story about this woman that still believes in love after so long of not finding it and being in wedding after wedding. In the end the woman finally ends up finding her true love where she least expected it and so did he.
Some movies have happy endings about bridesmaids while others don’t have such a happy ending! Other movies such as Revenge of the Bridesmaids or Bridesmaids appeal more to the comedy spectrum rather than the romantic comedy genre. These movies tell about the horrors of being a bridesmaid or in some cases how you get back at the bride for what she has put you through, those horrible dresses, mood swings, and holding her dress time and time again.
Some people love to see others happy and will proudly take their place as a bridesmaid while others aren’t so willing. Do you want to be a bridesmaid? Or are you the one that is leading the next bridesmaid revolt?
