True Tales of Love, Envy, Loyalty . . . and Terrible Dresses (Picador True Tales)
“An entertaining beach read… [and] a nice way to provide your besties with reading material for the bachelorette weekend.”—Lauren Conrad
WHAT DO A FORMER FASHION MODEL, AN EX-NUN, AND A FRAT BOY HAVE IN COMMON? VIRTUALLY NOTHING, EXCEPT THAT EACH HAS EXPERIENCED A UNIVERSAL RITE OF PASSAGE: BEING A BRIDESMAID.
Each year 11 million bridesmaids lead their best friends down the aisle. Most wear matching dresses, and nearly all have a thing or two to say about the bride. In this uproarious oral history, editor and journalist Eimear Lynch provides us with an intimate glimpse. She shares moments the wedding photographer failed to capture.
The story goes from the accidental bridesmaid who helped sew the bride into her “designer” gown. Then it moves to the tomboy who struggled to carry Princess Diana’s twenty-five foot train. The Bridesmaids lifts the veil on the Big Day. Eimear begins by sharing her experiences as a five-time ‘maid. She provides stories that are heartfelt, funny, and scandalous. Some stories are downright strange. An ode to the good, the bad, the strapless chiffon, and the occasional three-piece suit. Above all, it celebrates the supporting actresses and actors who wore them. The Bridesmaids is a colorful walk down the aisle that you won’t want to miss. It’s the perfect companion for every bridesmaid-to-be.
