Whether you've been asked to be in your first wedding, or feel like 27 Dresses is literally your life bio, every bridesmaid has pretty similar thoughts. From the excitement of when you're asked, to picking out a dress (that you’ll “totally be able to wear again!"), being a ‘maid can feel like a roller coaster of exhausting emotion. We totally feel your pain! But as we all know, part of a bridesmaid’s duty is to be a supporter, friend, slave (shh...did we say that?), and partner in crime to the bride. Get ready, girl, because you’re officially along for the wedding planning ride! Thoughts Every Bridesmaid Has While Wedding Planning 1. Ahh, Katie and Jack are engaged! 2. Yay! So happy for them! 3.
