I had never been so excited to go to a wedding, and I have never been so nervous to go to a wedding, ever. The joy was the excitement, and the nervousness was the fear. The nerves were the butterflies, especially for my mother-in-law, who is a bridesmaid and I had never met.
My mother-in-law is a bridesmaid in my sister’s wedding (that’s why I have never met her). She’s the one who actually had to make us all sign some non-disclosure agreement about the wedding. She is not a fan of anyone I have ever met. And I have never met anyone from the family. I don’t think I’m alone in that sense.
The joy was that we had been invited to be part of the ceremony. The nerves were the embarrassment that we had to go through the wedding dress alone. The butterflies were the awkward questions asked by my sister-in-law and mother-in-law. The questions were about the dress, the family, the wedding, and the bride and groom.
As I said before, I’ve never been asked to be part of a wedding ceremony, and I have zero knowledge of the family. I am not their daughter. I do not know them. I have no idea what they are like. So of course I wanted to sit in on the wedding, but I have no idea what the wedding might entail. I’m not sure that will ever change.
The dress, though? It was pretty interesting, as I was hoping for something more girly. And even though I’m not a wedding person, I do like dresses. I like to dress up and wear pretty dresses. The biggest flaw in this interview though is that my sister-in-law and mother-in-law do not seem to have gotten the joke.
Okay, back to the interview. While I understand the reasoning behind having a wedding, it’s still really important to me that my sister-in-law and mother-in-law get a sense of humor. That’s the way I grew up. Also, while I do like to dress up, I also try to dress up occasionally and just enjoy a night out with the girls and my sister.
I try my best to wear pretty dresses. Some of the dresses I have seen in my own closet are definitely not pretty dresses. But I think I do like to dress up a little bit. I like to dress up for weddings, parties, or any other events that I am going to be involved in. I try to wear pretty dresses when I am going out because I like to look nice and I don’t want people to think I am weird.
And like to dress up doesn’t mean you have to be a total slut. I mean, if you want to dress up, you can dress up! And I am sure there are many women who would like to be a little bit more slutty than others. But I am not one of those women.
I think that dressing up is a choice we all have to make, but it is not a choice I make in all cases. It depends on how you feel, how you look at yourself, and how comfortable you are with your body.
I can’t tell you the number of times I have seen people in the street dressed in something that they would normally not be seen in. It is like an invisible line and people crossing that line are usually considered weird or strange. But it isn’t about that. I think it is about how they feel about themselves. It is about self-acceptance and whether or not you feel comfortable in your own skin.
