...is that you can shorten it and wear it again!
It's the mantra of enthusiastic brides everywhere. Too bad it's not true. I'm sorry brides of the world: It's. Just. Not. True.
Well not completely true anyway. We won't wear them for a legitimate reason ever again, but we will manufacture reasons to wear them and feel like we're getting a little more bang for our buck!
And that'
s exactly what we did on Tuesday night. Why? Well the answer is simple: it was the day 27 Dresses came out on DVD and it was the only proper way to truly honor the occasion.
In fact, we not only payed homage to our ill-fitting taffeta dresses via a ridiculous bridesmaid pose photo shoot (as you can see), but we also loaded up on margaritas and brownies (which really only exacerbated the bulging seams issue, but what did we care?) while trading bridesmaid stories.
We finished out the night with a door prize raffle. (That's right, when you come to my last minute impromptu parties - there are prizes.) One lucky bridesmaid walked away with her very own widescreen copy of our new favorite movie, 27 Dresses (Congrats Reanna!). After several minutes of Nazi like shushhing, I finally managed to reign in the giggling enthusiasm and we watched what will now be known as the "inaugural viewing".

111 minutes later we collectively sighed with satisfaction: yes, it was as good as we remembered it. All in all, it was a pretty good night. I mean hey, if the release of a new chick flick isn't a good reason to put on formal wear and drink in the middle of the week, then I don't know what is.(P.S. I love James Marsden - he's so dreamy.)
