3 times a bridesmaid..... never a bride?

[confusedhelpme]

I know IABU but .... give it to me.

AIBU to consider not being a bridesmaid because I'm being a twatty superstitious old batshit crazy woman??? That would one day like to be a bride.

This is lighthearted .... to some extent

Don't be a tit (lighthearted)

Do you really think a silly rhyme will have some way of controlling your future?

Not only being batshit, but also likely to mess up your relationship with the friend who is getting married.

Don't let your superstition do that.

Don’t be ridiculous - I was 3 times and then a bride!
3 times just means you have lots of close friendships who value you - a great starter for a long term marriage with someone!

If you're a bridesmaid 7 times, it breaks the curse. You just need to find 4 more friends to ask you

I was a bridesmaid for the fourth time not so long ago - although DP and I aren't getting married any time soon (kids, new house etc), the bride had been a bridesmaid 3 times previously and it didn't stop her.

How about 3 times a bridesmaid...proven success at building relationships, great catch?

I've been a bridesmaid 5 times and married for 11 years. It's nonsense. Don't turn your poor friend/family member down!!!

YABVVU!!

Ive only been a bridesmaid once, but I’ll never be a bride.

Totally I know I was BU ......

Woooooo hooooooo bring on the summer bridesmaid 💐

@Homemadearmy ..... why never a bride?

I don't think I will but I'm trying to be positive

What Melvin said.

I have been a bridesmaid 4 times and am happily married.

I've been a bridesmaid 3 times and a Matron of honor and I'm happily married so yes you are being twatty

Well the girl in 27 Dresses was a bridesmaid 27 times and ended up with James Marsden so there's always hope

Historically it was the role of one bridesmaid to attract bad luck away from the bride. So if she would be tainted after three times.

I've been a bridesmaid three times and also a bride.

I didn't give it a second thought, but then it was easy because I'm not even slightly superstitious. I'd imagine if you are, it might be a lot harder to shrug your shoulders.

3 times a bridesmaid and happily married for 13 years here. Although I did my 3 times as a child so it was because I had a lot of aunties rather than because I was a valued friend.

I was a bridesmaid 3 times before I got married. And each of my bridesmaids had been bridesmaid 3 times - all except one of them are now married (and the one that isn't married is in a long-term relationship and not married by choice).

I was a bridesmaid 3 times before I was in High School, 5 times before I got married. Had a lovely day each time. Go and enjoy it.

I think maybe it was an issue when besmirching your purity was a thing.

These you can besmirch it as much as you like, so enjoy!!

I never got to be a bridesmaid at all, so consider yourself lucky

Oh oh, I’m aboit to be BM for the third time...!

I'm not married and made really sure by being a bridesmaid eight times when I was young

I was a bridesmaid three times before I got married at 25.
