Bride texted me at the last minute and said her sister was going to wear something knee-length instead and asked me if I could do the same. (She was perfectly sweet about it though and wouldn't have cared if I didn't make the switch.)
The wedding was lovely though. The bride alternately laughed and cried through the whole (very short) ceremony. The funniest was when she was having a weepy moment and yanked my brother's decorative handkerchief out of his suit pocket, wiped her tears with it, and then stuffed it back into the pocket.
Happy to have the bride in our family, but so glad to be done with hers. God, her stepmother is a snooty-ass bitch.
The yellow dress was in the back of my closet for 14 years. I wouldn't have purchased that awful thing on my own.
The other bridesmaid is very tall, and I'm very short. And she had higher heels. (I'm 5'0", and I think she's at least 5'9".) Also, she's 19, and I'm 41.
