I don't understand why someone getting married would want a selection of her friends to dress up all the same and follow her around all day. Why does a bride need 'maids'? And from the bridesmaid's point of view, wouldn't it be much nicer to attend the wedding as a guest with your partner? It seems a bit silly and 'little girly' to me.
At my wedding I had a close friend who did a reading and who got ready with me, but I didn't feel any need to truss her up in a bridesmaids dress and have her walk behind me.
I understand letting little girls be bridesmaids if they're going to be at the wedding anyway.
I'm interested to hear why people do this and am perfectly prepared to be told that IABU.

To think that having adult bridesmaids is a bit silly?
