One of my favorite Halloween?s ever. My softball playing friends were at a bar after a game in late August about 15 years ago and the woman who normally hosts the annual Halloween party said she just got her veil back from the cleaners and I said just in time for Halloween. Just like that she announces to the table I was going to be a bride for Halloween and I clapped my hands in mock girlish delight. People laughed and the conversation quickly ends. I went home and found a dress on EBay for about $100. I wrote to her that I won a bid on EBay and I might actually go as a bride, which triggers the rumor mill and now my friends, who don?t know I?m a CD, actually have expectations of seeing me dressed as a bride. I convince a couple of my male friends to be my bridesmaids but they didn?t go all out like I did. I had my nails done, had a makeup artist for hair and makeup. I spent some money on a longline bra, stockings, satin slingback heels, a pro alteration on the dress for a fitting and I did end up borrowing a different friends veil. All said and done I spent around $500. Totally worth dressing up as a bride and spending a fun evening with my friends dressed as a bride. Awesome!
