When my family knew I had altogether eight bridesmaids, in one way or the other I was persuaded on many occasions to "think" if I needed them all.
Yes, I did! I do!
These eight ladies have been really wonderfully irreplaceable, some since, before birth (!), since childhood, since adolescence, since my depression, since every moment of my life! I must have them all!
They are why I am still here, being happy and feeling happy.
It took forever to decide on how to clothe them beautifully and elegantly. And I had thought I would have gotten all the time I needed to create something (handmade) for them as keepsakes.
However, much time was spent on embroidering my own wedding veil, that by the time I remembered making these ladies something nice, I only had two days left before the wedding.
I had decided to give up the idea, when my hair stylist said the other two assistants she helped hire could not come and do hair for my bridesmaids.
I needed "solutions"!!! I kept telling myself. OK, let's make these girls something to put on their hair should no one come and do their hair.
I looked at my collection of ribbons and faux gemstones, and quickly pulled out things that colour-matched the ladies' dresses.
And within one night, eight hair accessories were born.
And within another night, I successfully enlisted help from two professional hair and makeup stylists thanks to one of the bridesmaids' indirect connection.
So, who told me not to keep them all?
I love them all.
Thank you for being in my life, Catherine, Chris, Eva, Irene, Karin, Lisa, Tracy and Yvonne.
