September was very slow for me but man October is flying!! I’m going to get a little jump on Monday’s question in case I’m busy. Plus I had a little nap when everyone else was getting ready for bed so now I’m up. 
My mom and I are both doing clean-outs cleaning our houses with big projects ongoing at both. She found one of my stepsister’s bridesmaid dress from my wedding. I’m going to see if it fits DD.
When my kids were little she used my other stepsister’s and a friends dresses to have my bestie make a dress for DD and a vest for DS. They were deep red so they wore them at Christmas and it was super cute! 
We had their pictures done and framed by a studio in them too.
Have you ever been in a wedding outside of your own?
I have been a bridesmaid three times and I guess a flower girl or maybe junior bridesmaid once. That was for my mom and stepdad’s wedding and they had all of us kids stand up with them. There were no petals or anything like that but we carried bouquets of silk flowers. We didn’t get fancy dresses but we did match. I think they were from Sears. The wedding was planned in all of a month so there was no time for elaborate plans. But then by today’s standards even the proper bridesmaid gowns I wore were more affordable because my friends and I were too young and broke to ask each other to spend a fortune.
$100 dresses were a lot back then.
I have 2 of my bridesmaid dresses still in my closet. One friend recently divorced so I could and probably should just donate it or toss it. I don’t think either are vintage enough yet to be desirable. The other dress was second hand to begin with.
Looking back that wedding was pretty sad. I was all of 15 standing up with a girl I chatted with at church who was barely 18 and pregnant. Her maid of honor was an older relative and I got paired with her creepy uncle. That was it for the bridal party; no other friends or anything. The marriage didn’t last long either.
Poor girl. They tried though.
