One of my closest, longest friends has asked me to be a bridesmaid when she gets married in 3 months, I said yes (I didn’t really know what else to say!)
I have atrocious self esteem, I’m 8 stone overweight (have lost 8 stone but I’m now still fat but also saggy and wobbly...) and am absolutely dreading standing up there infront of 100 guests next to the 3 other bridesmaids who are all beautiful and will look amazing. I could, and have, cry, at the thought of standing up there.
She has said we can choose the style of dress but she wants the colour to be champagne. I’m v pale and red faced, champagne looks awful on me. I’ve bought and tried 9 dresses and they all look awful. This isn’t just my self esteem talking either, I have 2 lovely friends who have kindly suggested we find a different dress each time!
If I bow out then I worry about how it will affect our friendship and the groomsmen/bridesmaids will be unbalanced in pictures.
I love her and I would love to be a part of her day but this is stressing me out beyond anything else right now, I don’t want to do it but what would you think if your bridesmaid said this to you?
