bridesmaids dresses

[starling823]

ooooh....I'm going to be a bridesmaid in a week and a few -- May 26th 
my good friend is getting married and I am one of her bridesmaids. =)
We actually have very nice dresses -- very simple cut, a little bit 
of a train in back, very simple and elegant and therefore able to be 
used again.  The kicker is the color -- a silvery green.  Obsessed 
with HP as I am, I saw the dresses and my first comment was "That's a 
rather Slytherin-ey color."  My friend has declared me crazy and 
asked me to promise to not try to talk her family into reading HP 
until after dinner has been cleared.  It will be hard but I will do 
my best. ::winks::

The nightmare part of this outfit is the shoes -- they're rather high 
heels and since I wear heels so rarely, I'm afraid of 
wobbling/tripping/making an idiot out of myself by tripping on my way 
down the aisle...I'm going to be practicing all next week.

It's really spooky...I'm 21, and almost all of my friends are within 
a year or so of me, we're almost all graduating from college this 
weekend, and almost all of them are engaged.  I'm starting to get 
really freaked at how many people are pairing up -- I still feel very 
young for something that huge (this could also be the result of two 
disasterous relationships...I'm content to be patient at this point), 
but I'm just amazed at how many people I know that are my age and 
engaged.  

Abbie, who, between uni. graduation (wahooo!) and this wedding, is 
feeling very overwhelmed.

PS -- Wanda, my best wishes for your son and family!
