No wedding goes perfectly as planned. I was expecting mine to be the most beautiful wedding of the world. I wasn't going to do any of the tacky favors, I wasn't going to do the chicken dance, and I most certainly was not going to have bridesmaids. Being the first to marry of all my friends, relatives and siblings, the bar was set pretty high. Lucky for me I was also born with intuition. My intuition told me, eliminate the drama, eliminate all bridesmaids. I only needed a maid of honor and that role was going to go to my only sister. Not being the traditional or conventional person, no one was surprised. This does not mean however that my closest girlfriends were happy about my decision to only have my sister in my wedding.

For months all I heard was; " How could you not have bridesmaids, it is such an honor " " I have known you the longest why am I not in your wedding?" My reply ? " Being a bridesmaid is an honor yes, but it is also a financial burden, I know how much you love your designer clothes and spending your paycheck at the newest watering hole, I don't want to make this an inconvenience or a financial burden for you"
What I was really thinking? There's no way in hell I am going to have someone with a bigger bustline than me to be in my wedding especially if I have to wear ivory and be somewhat appropriate so my mother doesn't have a heart attack. Please note that I have been compared to Salma Hayek in looks and body, but when your best gal friends resemble; Anna Nicole ( slim days ), Jennifer Lopez, and Jane Russell, there is no way in hell these girls are going to upstage me on the most important day of my life. Especially since these gals all have similar personalities of the mentioned Hollywood Divazons. The only one that was going to trudge down that aisle was my sister, Jennifer Anniston look alike and me, bombshell beauty of the century.

Oh the drama that ensued. The first to go bridal was Sammy ( Anna Nicole). Daily emails, tears, and threats of how selfish I was and how could I not have her in my wedding since she was forever my best friend. Knowing how incredibly flaky and under the influence of controlled substances Sammy ( Anna Nicole ) was I of course hesitated. Finally I caved. On the eve before her birthday I bought her a nice card and asked her to be in my wedding, She was after all there for me during the " Fleetwood Mac" years of my life and we had a lot of fun together. I had always gotten her jobs everywhere I worked, Victoria's Secret,
