Well, hello there. Let’s gab a bit about what a fella’s sister should wear to his wedding. It ain’t rocket science, ya know? But some folks get all worked up about it. Don’t you worry none, I’ll set you straight.
First off, it depends on what time of day the shindig is. If it’s in the mornin’, you don’t wanna be wearin’ some fancy, long gown. That’s just silly. Think like you’re goin’ to church, but a bit spiffier. A nice short party dress, that’s what they call it, or maybe one of them midi dresses that go to your knees. If it’s real fancy, even in the mornin’, I guess you could wear a long party dress, but don’t go overboard.
Now, if the weddin’ is in the evenin’, that’s a whole different kettle of fish. Then you gotta think about how fancy it is. They got these things called “black-tie weddings”. Sounds all hoity-toity, don’t it? Well, for them, you need a long dress, all the way to the floor. You can pick whatever shape you like, long as it’s touchin’ the ground, you hear? And make sure it’s a good color for your complexion. If the wedding is not so fancy, then a short cocktail dress is fine. Those are kinda short, but not too short, you know? Just decent enough for a family gathering. I wore a lovely blue one when my nephew got married. It had these little shimmery things on it. Felt right purdy.
- Mornin’ weddin’: Short party dress, cocktail dress, or midi dress.
- Evenin’ weddin’, fancy: Long gown, touchin’ the floor.
- Evenin’ weddin’, not so fancy: Short cocktail dress.
Now, some folks say the groom’s sister has to be a bridesmaid. That’s a bunch of hogwash if you ask me. It’s up to the bride who she wants standin’ up there with her. If she asks you, that’s nice. If not, don’t get your knickers in a twist. You’re still family. You could read somethin’ at the ceremony, or light a candle, or just sit there and look pretty. Plenty of ways to be involved without wearin’ a matchin’ dress you don’t like.
And let’s talk about them “sarees” with belts. I saw a picture of one in a magazine once. Looked right stylish, like the young folks say. It’s one of them flowy dresses, but it’s got a belt around the middle. I reckon that’d look good on most any gal, shows off your waist, ya know? But make sure it’s comfortable and not too tight, you want to be able to dance at the reception, right?
The main thing is, you wanna look nice, but you don’t wanna outshine the bride. It’s her day, after all. So pick somethin’ that’s pretty, somethin’ that fits you good, and somethin’ that you can move around in. You wanna be able to hug your brother, dance with your cousins, and maybe even catch the bouquet if you’re feelin’ lucky. And don’t forget comfortable shoes, honey! You’ll be on your feet a lot. I made that mistake once, wore some brand new heels, and my feet were killin’ me by the end of the night.
So there you have it. No need to fret about what to wear. Just use your common sense, and you’ll look just fine. And remember, the most important thing is to be there for your brother on his special day. It ain’t about the clothes, it’s about family and love. And eatin’ cake, of course. Don’t forget the cake.
One last thing, don’t go buyin’ a whole new outfit if you don’t have to. Look in your closet first. You might have somethin’ that’ll work just fine. And if not, borrow somethin’ from a friend. No need to spend a fortune on somethin’ you’ll only wear once. Save that money for a nice gift for the happy couple.
Alright, I’ve talked your ear off enough. Go on now, and get yourself somethin’ pretty to wear. And have fun at the wedding!
