So… you’ve found your Prince Charming. You’re planning the absolute fairytale wedding. The cake, the wedding dress, the honeymoon…you’ve got it all nailed down. But. There will be moments. Moments of despair, anguish, tears. Moments of fiancé-not-being-supportive, plans-gone-awry, it’s-coming-crashing-down.
At times like these, your girl friends will step right in like the dames in shining armor. No matter what, nobody can replace the role of girlfriends in every bride’s life. They may take a bit of a backseat after marriage, but they are still the ones who will steer your ship safely to land when the seas get choppy. So do you have these 5 types of friends who will bail you out of every possible worst-case scenario?
Ms. Fix-it
She’s the defacto manager, the problem-solver, the one who can iron out all planning issues. Your wedding planner is messing it up? Your photographer is double booked? Your florist insists on red roses when you want blood-red ones? She’ll coax, cajole, pout, or crack the whip – whatever it takes to set right every single problem. And then shrug it all off as her natural management flair!
Finally, she’ll hand you a list with all to-do items ticked off and give you the thumbs-up!
Ms. Strong Shoulder
Her forte is sob stories. You want to rant about your fiancé not agreeing to a live band, or then how his mother is dominating the wedding decisions, or how your hairstylist cannot get your shade of chocolate-coffee-mousse-burgandy… she is there to soak it all in. She’ll listen with utmost patience, make the right noises, trash your person of choice, bring out all that’s good in you, and just when you want to run away, she’ll remind you why you are there in the first place. Finally, she’ll hand you a handkerchief to blow your nose, and send you smiling back to your wedding and your fiancé!
Ms. Party Animal
She’s the one with a singlepoint agenda in life – let your hair down and have a blast! She’s fun, she’s gregarious, she’s vibrant. From her own neon pink nailpaint to her bright magenta hair streaks, everything about her spells “Party.” She’s the one who reminds you that it’s your time to celebrate. She’ll bring out the fun in you and she’ll create fun for you.
Finally, she’ll remind you, “Carpe Diem, my friend,” help you down a tequila shot, and pull you onto the dance floor!
Ms. Funny Bones
She’s the one who has the wit, the killer sense of humor, and the courage to crack a joke even at her own self. Anything to diffuse the seriousness, so you don’t get all stressed out. And believe you us, there will be enough moments of stress right up to the wedding day, and even after. She’s the one who will see a funny angle in every situation, and make sure you laugh your guts out.
Finally, she’ll be all quiet and silent as everyone talks serious, and then crack that funny one-liner that’ll bring tears to your eyes – in laughter.
Ms. Childhood Buddy
She’s the one who has seen you in rompers, in pigtails and braces, in your first high heels, and now as you get ready to walk down the aisle. She’s been there with you through all the ups and downs and in-betweens. She knows you better than you know yourself—your positives and your quirks. She’ll remind you what to let go of, and what to cherish in your married life.
Finally, she’ll look back at all the distance you’ve covered since childhood, and stand by to cheer as you embark on this new journey.
