L (bride-to-be in Vegas) and I have been having some wonderful, deliriously fun conversations lately...
Just a few weeks ago she called me crying because the lady she goes to to get her eyebrows done butchered the whole things practically off!
L - "What do I DO?!?!?? I can't believe this!!!"
me - "Don't worry, just go get a brow pencil to fill them in for the time being."
L - "But...but...my WEDDING! What if they don't grow back?"
me - "They will...don't worry." (trying to hold back laughing)
L - "Promise me, Heath, PROMISE ME they will grow back by the wedding. Do you promise?"
me - "Yes L, I PROMISE." (still trying not to laugh)
But yesterday's conversations were the best...
L - "Have you been thinking about your maid of honor speech?"
me - "Yes."
L - "Do you want to read it to me?"
me - "No." (hahaha, she didn't ask if I had anything written, she asked if I've been thinking about it, which yes, I have been THINKING about it! And I'm thinking this shit's pretty hard!)
A minute later...
L - "If you or G (the best man) say anything about weed, I will kill you."
me - "Oh no, I'd never do that."
L - "Yeah, I know you wouldn't..."
me - "I'll just replace words that should be weed with pizza."
L - "Yeah, then my family's like, 'But L can't have dairy!'"
me - "Fine, L, FINE...I'll just say BALLS instead of pizza or weed, okay? BALLS!"
Another topic:
L - "I'm trying to think of what songs you all will walk in to for the cocktail hour after the wedding."
me - "I still think you should go with Ozzy's 'Crazy Train' for you guys."
L - "No, I am actually thinking that's what you and G should walk out to. Will you dance?"
me - "If G dances, will he dance?"
L - "Probably."
me - "Okay, well if he does, then I will."
L - "Yeah, YOU cannot walk in without doing some of your signature moves...G will be smiling and walking to the song and you'll be pulling out this full choreographed dance!"
me - "Yeah, I'll tell G at the rehearsal dinner that we gotta practice our moves and synchronize. Then I'll be like, 'Don't mess this up G! DO NOT MESS IT UP!!!'"
Yes, it's going to be quite the event.

Ha! These conversations are classic!! Don't you just love how being maid of honour makes you worry about things like the brides eyebrows???
I didn't write my speech until the night before.
Where in Vegas is she getting married?????
Airam -- I know! There have been so many good ones! How did your speech go? I'm at a loss of words!!!
Carmen -- She is to be wed at the Wynn!!! F'ing awesome! I am very excited
Look up bridesmaid speeches in a search engine!!! I know it's lame but after reading some I had an idea of where to go with the one I write.
Man you have a lot fo friends with short names. I think crazy train is the best wedding idea of all time.
Wow - the Wynn is FABULOUS. You guys are going to have SUCH a good time. I love it there.
I think I am more nervous to be a maid of honor than the bride...so much pressure!!!
Okay not really.
weddings are so much fun and brides always totally freak out. I love this shit.
As a recent first time MOH, I have a bit of advice: Write a very short speech & memorize it. Or find some way to hid it in your shoe, bouquet or bra.
I made the mistake of not knowing how to get my speech to the reception so I asked my mom to bring it for me. Well, she forgot all about it & left it in the car, back at the church.
With 200+ people looking at me expectantly, I was shaking so badly by the end that I spilled a bit of champers in the bride's lap when I toasted her at the end!
Amber ~ Yes, I agree -- short and sweet, a little funny, is the best way to go. Thanks!
