Always a bride's maid never a bride

I am eating way more than I need or should. I have also failed on the whole exercise plan but my active lifestyle is compensating and I have 10 pounds to go. My youngest sister is getting married in 6 weeks and it would be great to lose the weight in time for her wedding. Though I am already half her size and I don’t want to intentionally look better than the bride.

I have my first fitting for my maid of honor dress tonight and I don’t want to be part of her wedding. I really don’t want to be maid of honor; I think that position should be reserved for her best friend. I don’t think I am her best friend; in fact it depresses me to even entertain the idea. By my way of thinking her asking me to be the maid of honor is to ensure that she has a great bachelorette party.

I will throw her a fabulous bachelorette party, the one I threw for my sister Brittany is still talked about years later. For Susan’s bachelorette party I am planning on hiring a driver and bus to take us to the nearest gambling town, 2 hours away. I will rent suites for the party and hire visual entertainment not to mention provide everyone will a whole surplus of alcohol and food. Do you think it is enough? Or should I also plan a scavenger hunt in the casinos and bars?
