My Wedding Experience


I was a bridesmaid for the first time recently. I had mixed feelings at first about being a bridesmaid. What exactly does a bridesmaid do?? I've never been one so of course I was worried that I would suck at it. But I agreed to do it anyway for my friend Rosie. She later ended up asking me to do a toast because she remembered my memorable speech from my mother's 50th birthday party. Rosie has been such a good friend to me, how could I refuse such an honor? In the end I'm so glad that I did it. It's an experience that I will never forget. I had the chance to travel to Portland, Oregon (something I probably wouldn't ever think to do before). We had a blast on the town during the bachelorette party. Then I got to witness a beautiful outdoor ceremony. As bridesmaids, we received pink flasks engraved with our names on them. A heartfelt token from the bride.
The experience was priceless and I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.
