Quote: and I say you spend the money you would have spent on a bridesmaid's dress on something else fabulous for yourself...you were going to be spending the money anyways right??
That's one tradition we don't actually have here, the bride pays for the bridesmaid dresses. I will get away with giving a smaller present though and will get to spend the day (if I go) with BF and friends rather than with the wedding party!!
That is a VERY long day you have today, glad you rescheduled the pedicure. I have never had one done (or a manicure!- they are not as common here at all as they are over there, although they are becoming more popular, the first nail bars only opened here in the last 2 or three yrs) I have a gift voucher from a beauty salon that I got for my birthday last year and I am going to either have a facial or a massage. I got a foot spa for Christmas but haven't used it yet.
French lessons for your 21st? How practical! Ask for diamonds girl and pick up a language course at the library! I have the beginners spanish tapes at the moment, I speak fairly good French, or used to, I studied it as part of my degree, and have basic German too so Spanish is next and then I can go visit South America!
