  1. That’s what all that screaming was. I was afraid they’d turned that warehouse into a slaughterhouse for retired cheerleaders.

  2. I like it! Why not a city scene? Especially with the flower girls in black; they look like little witches, which is kind of cool. If I were her bridesmaid, I’d be like, fucking thank you for not making me look like my grandmother’s couch.

    It beats magenta dresses on a golf course any day.

  3. Sorority much?

    Considering that there is probably a groomsman for each bridesmaid, I wonder whether the wedding party outnumbers the guests….

  4. @16, have you never been to a wedding? Perfectly ordinary people with pretty good taste throw it all out the window at wedding time.

    And bridesmaids can get the worst of it. A group of diverse women who ordinarily might dress and style themselves completely differently will (sort of) gladly shoehorn into the outfit, shoes, hair and makeup styles the bride has dictated. Seeing the extent to which the bride has put her bridesmaids through hell in the name of love and friendship is always a highlight of any wedding for me.

  5. haters be hatin. i like the photo. a lot more interesting than most people do. and i’m sure she’s a perfectly nice person.

  6. Bridal parties swell up like this when they can’t draw a line. This group probably includes all of the bride’s and groom’s sisters, her best friend (or two or three), maybe some cousin who has to be there or else the bride’s bitch aunt will throw a fit…

  7. I like the photo. I think it’s sweet. And the bridesmaid dresses are unusually restrained. Congratulations city girl! Good luck to you and your sweet heart!

    I’m with @22: haters be hatin’

  8. @20: HOLY SHIT. Wow. Thanks for the link to the Colonial Africa wedding… I think.

    Size of the wedding party aside, I love the background of this shot here!

  9. @19 how are they hipsters?

    @30 the only weddings i’ve been to with huge wedding parties have all been kids just out of high school to about half-way through college.

  10. I saw this whole thing unfold and it was weird and sweet and delightful (and involved careful traffic negotiation to ensure car-free shots). And yes, eventually each of these women was paired with a man, all of whom wore tuxedos.
