The following are familiar scenarios that occur in bridal salons all across the country, be they large or small:Scenario 1, Group of 7: The bride really loves a dress she puts on in the dressing room. She admires it in the mirror and is excited to show her group the lovely vintage-looking lace gown she's so beautifully wearing. She emerges from the dressing room and hears a chorus of "Oh, nooooo... Take it off!", "That's not you!", "That dress looks like my grandmother's curtains!!!", "Next!" And then, her mom simply says, "I think you can do better, honey."
Scenario 2, Group of 10: All of her bridesmaids and her first cousin. Her bridesmaids are hung over from the night before and are chatting and giggling about the hunky guy one of them met at some dive bar they visited last night. Her cousin's boyfriend just broke up with her and she's a complete trainwreck. Heartbroken and jealous, she can't get past the fact that she should be the one getting married, not her cousin. As the bride emerges from the dressing room in a lovely choice, her cousin blurts out, "Oh my Gawd, I would NEVER wear that!" The rest shout differing opinions, and give advice left and right. After a few more dresses, some appear to lose interest while others talk on their cell phones. None of them are asking which gown the BRIDE likes best. Consequently, the bride leaves confused and disappointed, and wishes she had just come with her best friend.
