I quickly rebutted,” Why do you want me in that role?” She answered, “Because you are the most special person to me.”  Of course this response turned on the waterworks.

Well now I had business ahead of me which included finding dresses that would fit both beautiful, young women and one 50 something woman. So now it was my job to find the perfect dress. After much shopping, I have  rediscovered  the culture of the bridesmaid dress. It’s short, mostly strapless and designed for the 20-30  something body type, which I am not. When faced with adversity I move with determination. So onward in my quest of both fitting in with the bridesmaids and fitting in to the bridesmaid dress.

Thank you Lindsay, for always making me feel special.

Mama Bell
