\"Jennifer<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been asked to be someone\u2019s bridesmaid, buckle up because these are the stages you’ll most definitely go through.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Happy<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Getting Asked\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Your bestie got engaged and you’ve been on countdown since to see if you’d been picked for bridesmaid duty. Today’s the day, you’re officially in.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Jennifer<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Meeting The Other Bridesmaids<\/h3>\n

OFC you’re excited but you’re also kinda nervous too. The doubts of spending a lot of your life with these gals begins…What if they all look like models? What if they think I\u2019m weird?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Rachel<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Finding The Dress<\/h3>\n

Being a bridesmaid is essentially a part-time job. You\u2019ll sacrifice your weekends trawling round the shops trying on dress after dress. The struggle to find one that suits a group of people all with different body shapes and heights is real. When you think it\u2019s finally all over you\u2019ll have to start shopping for shoes, lord have mercy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Wedding<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Realising You’ve Become The Bride’s Personal Helpline<\/h3>\n

You\u2019re her go-to-gal and whenever she has a wobble or something doesn\u2019t go to plan she\u2019ll come to you for advice, the catch, she expects you to be on call 24\/7. It\u2019s pretty demanding especially when she calls you up at 3am blubbering because she\u2019s suddenly decided she doesn\u2019t like the colour scheme any more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Friends<\/a><\/p>\n

5. The Group Chat Drama<\/h3>\n

The group chat will probably be called something like #bridesquad and while it will start out full of excitement and chatter, it will soon descend into a shambolic mess of passive aggressive GIFs. You’ll debate leaving the group or gasp, the app itself and dream of riding off into the sunset. Instead you\u2019ll just put the chat on mute and blame any sweary outbursts on having had too much tequila.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"David<\/a><\/p>\n

6. The Hen Party<\/h3>\n

There’ll be novelty objects everywhere, sashes will be styled and whistles will be blown. Welcome to the hen party. Which you’ll need a week to recover from after.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Frustrated<\/a><\/p>\n

7. The Money Realisation<\/h3>\n

You\u2019re a part of team bride and this comes with a price. From wedding-planning-brunches to the pre-wedding pamper sesh, every event is compulsory and nothing comes for free.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Fail<\/a><\/p>\n

8. The Big Day Pampering<\/h3>\n

Your eyebrows have never been more on fleek,\u00a0 the make-up artist has contoured your cheekbones to perfection, and to top it all off, your hair looks dreamy and you feel incredible AF.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Lisa<\/a><\/p>\n

9. Being Wary Of Food<\/h3>\n

Unlike the other guests you can\u2019t tuck into the canapes as the bride wants the photos to be perfect, and she won\u2019t risk you ruining your make-up. Your face will literally ache from all of the smiling, the photographer will make you do a gazillion different poses and you won\u2019t even be allowed a snack break, the sheer audacity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Excited<\/a><\/p>\n

10. Being On Dress Duty<\/h3>\n

She might be an adult woman but her dress weighs a ton and it consists of never ending layers, making the simple act of the bride peeing a complete mission.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Friends<\/a><\/p>\n

11. TFW It’s All Over<\/h3>\n

Your best friend’s married her soulmate and you’ve witnessed how truly happy she is.\u00a0 All of the stress and drama leading up to this has paid off and being a part of her special day is an honour you will treasure forever.<\/p>\n
