Has anyone here actually ever been a bridesmaid.---Or know of some boy or guy who has? I haven't but its always been a fun fantasy of mine ever since I heard of a sister having her brothers as bridesmaids for her wedding many years ago. I have since read of other incidents.---most times, nowadays, as it becmes even more frequent, the guy will simply wear a tux simply of a different color than that of the grooms party, but still, they often wear the same dresses and makeup as the other bridesmaids--especially the younger ones who can be made get away with it.
I recently read a posting on another site of a guy who did that at age 13 and age 17 for each of his 2 sister's weddings. They wanted him to do it, so he obliged to make them happy(--The second time was easier though, he knew what to expect.) He said that he had to practice , in costume , shoes, etc. about a week before to learn how to walk , sit etc. The first time they put him in silk petticoats and underwear, he said he slipped right off the chair, on his butt to the floor. He had to go through the same fitting and beauty shop routine as the other bridesmaids. Both times, he had to do both the wedding and the reception,---Unfortunately, he dosent give too much detail--it was a posted letter after all. in response to the subject in a legitimate wedding forum.
