Best of the Best #8: Will you be my Bridesmaid?

So your beau finally popped the question and you couldn’t be more excited……

One of the first things on the list is selecting your bridesmaids, groomsmen, etc. Afterall these people are going to (hopefully) help you with some planning and organizing for the BIG day.  I know when I picked my bridesmaids, I didn’t just want to call them up and ask them, I wanted to make them feel special (and they are).  I wanted them to know they were about to be a major part of one of the most important days of my life and a phone call just didn’t seem to do it justice.

So before I showcase all the fabulous ways to pop your own question, “Will you be my bridesmaid?”, I am going to honor the fabulous ladies that are taking a very special part in my big day.

Whitney

First up is my lovely, beautiful, amazing sister, Whitney.  Whitney is my very best friend. She’s the kind of sister that Margaret (from Are you there God, it’s me Margaret) wanted and needed. She helped me get through my middle school awkwardness, high school drama, and college boys.  And now she’s helping me get married. She’s seriously the most giving and loving person in my life and I am honored to be able to call her my sister and my maid of honor.

Ariel

Ariel, aka Mermie (yes, that’s short for Mermaid. Think 1980′s Disney movie), is one of my lovely Texas bridemaids.  Mermie is a ball of happiness, laughter and joy….and that beautiful smile in her picture is permanent, seriously. She is so special to me and I cannot wait to have her contagious happiness all around me on my big day.

Katie

This is Katie, or K-bone (sort of a long story with that one), and this picture of her couldn’t be more perfect. Katie is another one of my Texas bridesmaids.  I wish Katie lived closer to me, she’s always up for a good time (especially if it involves margaritas and dancing)! She’s one of the most genuine people I know, which means I should definitely take her wedding dress shopping with me. Her honestly would be so appreciated.

Onto my Georgia gals:

Kelli

This is little itty bitty Kelli! Her size is not telling of her personality…she has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know, she can make you laugh till you pee, and she is so talented at her job.  Kelli has many traits I adore, but I am probably most looking forward to having her big loving heart around me on my big day. She knows I’ll need it!

Becca

Becca…oh my lovely little Becca. Okay the truth is Becca is 5′ 10, and she could obviously be a model, but she’s so down to earth. Becca is my only Brazilian bridesmaid (and friend, come to think of it). She is incredibly sweet and thoughtful. Becca is always thinking of others and I absolutely love that about her. I can’t wait to have this beautiful and loving gal by my side on the BIG day.
