Michelle’s One Minute Bridesmaid Tips: Tip #900 – Sometimes You Gotta Lie [VIDEO]

Lying isn't always the best option, unless it's to a bride who is a little on edge about her wedding.

I am about 100% sure I've lied to every single bride whose wedding I've been in, but it's ok, because what I lied about wasn't important.

For example, I do not love all eight dresses hanging in my closet. But, I wore them and smiled.

I don't like wearing earrings because I think they make me look like a hooker and they hurt when I put them in, but I pretend they are just a little irritating.

And, when writing a speech, I plan it out in my head well before any words hit the paper (or the notes section of my iPhone), so there's a chance I've lied about my prepping process.

But I ALWAYS finish the speech weeks before the wedding, I always rock the earrings as best as I can, and I only ever ripped one bridesmaid dress and it was completely by accident.

Sometimes you just have to lie about it, say yes and figure it out without telling the bride you're not really prepared, because that's on you. You gotta be ready when the time comes, if that means two days before you're rushing to find the right bra, that's your problem, not the bride's.

This is my last bridesmaid tip because I am on bridesmaid hiatus after next Saturday until further engagements. Plus really, how many more times can I actually be a bridesmaid?

Be on the lookout for your chance to give me dating tips because while I'm not standing up in any future weddings after this one, I still have to go to them and maybe I should bring a date one of these days.
