As old as I am, I've never been in a non-family wedding so I'm pretty excited. There are three of us...maid of honor and two bridesmaids. I'm a bridesmaid and the bride is fantastic. She gave us the designer's name (Jim Hjelm) and the color and told us to pick the dresses we wanted and she's paying for them. Sooooooo nice. The wedding is in CA and I'm coming from Buffalo and another friend is coming in from Vancouver, BC so we're paying for airfare and stuff though. In any event, here are the three dress we all chose. They're all in eggplant...which turns out to be a very deep purple color and the backs of the dresses are very similar so from behind we'll all look similar.
