Alright, alright, let’s talk about these gold bridesmaid dresses, eh? My granddaughter, she’s gettin’ hitched, and the whole thing’s got me in a tizzy. Never seen so much fuss over clothes in my life! But, I gotta say, those gold dresses, they do catch the eye, like a shiny penny in a dirt pile.
So, the young’uns tell me these dresses gotta be from some place called ASOS. Sounds fancy, huh? They say ASOS got all sorts of styles. Now, I don’t know much about style, but I know what looks pretty. And gold? Well, gold always looks pretty, like sunshine on a summer day. Makes a gal feel special, even if she ain’t the one walkin’ down the aisle.
They were showin’ me pictures on that little phone thingy, and there were dresses long and short, some with sparkles, some without. My head was spinnin’! But I told ’em, “Keep it simple, girls. Don’t want nothin’ too fussy. You gotta be able to dance in it, right?” And they laughed, bless their hearts.
Then there’s the jewelry. Oh, the jewelry! My granddaughter, she’s got this idea about necklaces. Says somethin’ about a “solitaire pendant” or a “necklace set.” Sounds expensive, if you ask me. I told her, “Honey, a little gold chain is all you need. No need to go overboard.” But she’s got her own mind, that one. Stubborn as a mule, just like her grandma!
And let me tell you somethin’ about these necklaces, if them girls are wearin’ dresses that go high up on the neck, like a turtleneck, they don’t need no necklace. Waste of good money, I say. Better to get ’em some pretty earrings, dangly ones that catch the light. Or maybe a nice bracelet, somethin’ delicate, like a string of pearls. Pearls are always classy, even if they ain’t real.
- Earrings: Dangly ones, shiny and pretty.
- Bracelets: Delicate, maybe pearls, or somethin’ simple and gold.
- Necklaces: Only if the dress ain’t too high up on the neck. Keep it simple, no need for fancy stuff.
Now, here’s somethin’ that got me scratchin’ my head. My granddaughter, she wants her friend, the one who’s already married, to be a bridesmaid. I said, “Can you even do that? Ain’t bridesmaids supposed to be single?” But the young’uns, they just laughed again. Said that’s old-fashioned thinkin’. Times have changed, they said. Well, I guess times do change. Back in my day, things were different, but that don’t mean they were better, or worse, just different.
So, if your friend’s hitched and you want her standin’ up there with ya, go right ahead. It’s your day, do what makes you happy. That’s what I told my granddaughter. “It’s your weddin’,” I said, “You do what you want. Don’t let nobody tell you different.” And I meant it, too. Life’s too short to be worryin’ about what other folks think.
But back to them dresses…gold, huh? It’s a bold choice. But bold can be good. Like a sunflower in a field of weeds, standin’ tall and proud. And that’s what a bridesmaid should be, standin’ tall and proud beside her friend. Supportin’ her, lovin’ her, and lookin’ darn good in gold while she does it.
Anyways, that’s my two cents on this whole gold bridesmaid dress business. It’s a lot of fuss, if you ask me, but I reckon it’ll all turn out alright in the end. Weddings are supposed to be happy, right? So let’s focus on that, and not worry too much about the little things. As long as there’s love, laughter, and maybe a little bit of gold, everything will be just fine.
So, remember girls, keep it simple, keep it classy, and don’t let nobody tell you what to do. It’s your day, your wedding, and you can have whoever you want standing up there with you, married or not. And those gold dresses? They’ll look just beautiful, like sunshine on a summer day. Just make sure you can dance in ‘em!
And that’s all I got to say about that.
