AKA, The Bridal Party

Choosing our bridal party has been Mr. Dumpling’s favorite thing about our wedding so far. He got really excited when I said he could have as many groomsmen as he wanted, even if it meant our bridal party would be lopsided. Really - I have 5 bridesmaids and he is up to 10 groomsmen. Ah, oh well. He’s happy and he gets to have a big bachelor party.

As for me, there are just a few girls I want standing up with me on our big day. They are all so very different from each other, but I think that will just make for a more interesting day.

So far, you’ve met my gorgeous Canadian friend, R, whose wedding was this past weekend. I plan to do a post about her fabulous DIY skills, but until then, here’s a preview:

My other MOH is my big sister, J. She’s a few years older than me and a whole heckuva lot smarter. She does something with computers, can totally do math, and every year she does medical missions in Honduras with her church. She’s pretty much awesome. I used to be her shadow when I was little, and to this day when I see her, I still follow her around like a lost puppy. She reads this blog, but is too shy to comment. Let’s all say Hi :).

Next up is Boss Lady. She really did used to be my boss. I’m not sure if I liked her at first, but I quickly discovered that we had something in common - our favorite restaurant is Chili’s. I know, fancy, huh? Only the best for us! (But really, have you eaten their chips and salsa? Yum!) She’s pregnant with her third and might not be able to make it. Keep your fingers crossed, hive!

This is H. She was my first friend when I moved to Las Vegas and we have had some crazy times that include, but are not limited to, dancing with Justin Timberlake (OMG I know!), singing along to Cyndi Lauper at the True Colors concert, and her falling asleep in the bathroom at Jet. Can you believe she let me drag her to see the Spice Girls last December when they came to town? We also have a weekly Thursday night date for Grey’s Anatomy. I think I’ll be watching her get married sometime soon……..wink wink.

Yes, we really did go see Spice Girls. Photo by me. From my nosebleed seat

My junior BM is Mr. Dumpling’s little cousin. I don’t think her mom wants me posting her picture on the web since she’s only 13, but seriously, this chick is cool. She has a purse collection that will make both Olson twins jealous any day of the week.

I think I want to ask one more girl, but I want to wait until I see her in person. I think it’s more special that way, ya know?

Do you have an uneven wedding party?
