Always a Bridesmaid, Never a Bride

Voice-Mail Message. Sunday Night - after a wonderfully exhausting weekend:

Hi Vig.

It’s K. and I want to . . ah . . read you something in this book . . . and, of course I can’t find it . . .

NEW ATTENDANTS ROLES (this is from the Bride's New Book of Etiquette from Bride's Magazine)

The man of honor, brides-men, best woman, and female usher roles. It’s perfectly accepppp . . . oh it’s not r’here but somewhere it says, ah

Some brides choose a man of honor as their honor attendant or a brides-men instead of a bridesmaid when they want to choose a close male friend as . . . in the bridal party

The groom may choose a best woman . . . mahee ma nahchee . . .

These new roles can be incorporated into the most traditional wedding if done tastefully . . .

. . . inform wedding professionals such as photographers in advance that you have non-traditional attendants and assure that they are not left out of photos . . . or inserted . . . into . . by the photographer . . La da da da . . .

Ah. . .and all that kind of stuff . . . usually wears the same attire as the other attendants of his or her sex in the wedding party . . . Um . . . May be announced . . .Ya-da-da.

Should not have to perform awkward duties usually reserved for an individual the same sex as the bride or groom . . . Um. . So on . . so. .

Um, I wanted to talk with you about being my man of honor.

Would you be my man of honor?

Um, It would mean getting a tux to match the other tuxes, but you’d look sharp. . . and so g’. i’a think . . . hahaha. .

So. . .Give it a think! . . .

‘cause I think you’re already going to be doing everything . . . and. . . and . . . um . . .

It’s an idea that fine with Clark. And Clarks’s father’s the one who brought this book that has this in it . . . And we were kind of chatting about it while I read it while they were here . . .

And . . . so!

Give me a call!

Thanks,

Bye.
