1: Kick off!!

Hello, my bridesmaids! Thank you for coming,
This blog is to keep you updated on my planning.
I can't contain my excitement since the day you said yes,
to standing there with me in a poofy white dress.
As you may know, a lot has been done,
But just you wait, the fun has just begun!

Let me break it down, from face to face,
While busting a groove with this rhyming phrase.


My Maid of Honor is my little sister, Marty
Don't let that face fool you because this girl can party!
She lives in Sac with her boyfriend and pets,
A discount at Target, she always gets!



Jennifer is my future sister in law,
Conversations with her are never "blah."
She's well on her way to becoming a nurse,
A fashionable one, with a fine leather purse.



Brilliant Julie, we met at Cal Poly.
She kept Open House meetings quite jolly.
Loves chick flicks and cake, always proper and good:
"Life is too short to eat bad food."



Miss Carina always comes with ideas and advice:
In college was "beerade," now it's "doppio over ice."
She and I went to Mexico, shared a room with a view.
Now she lives in SoCal and bleeds Dodger Blue (booo!!).

[Morgan is my other sister I didn't mention.
She'll be only 13, which is the main prevention
From doing things we adults can freely do,
So junior bridesmaid is sister number two.]

And that, my friends, is my bridesmaids' rap,
Hoping all y'all won't give me any crap.
I cannot tell you how much this means to me,
if you just heed this final plea:
Don't gain weight, but don't lose too much.
Don't cut your hair -- if a trim, just a touch.
Have valium ready, so I can be sedate,
But please make sure to the church, I'm not late.
Love you girls, from the core of my heart,
but just say no to the pastry cart.

----------------------

Forgive the last verse, I was only kidding,
I don't really want you all to do my bidding.
I won't be that bride who acts like a jerk,
Makes them wear ugly dresses and do her dirty work.
I swear, you'll still like me after all this,
When the bar is closed and I am a missus!

Alright, alright, I've taken far too much of your time.
Thanks so much for indulging in my rhyme.
This was kinda cool, you've got to agree.
This is Marion, signing out, your bad-ass MC!
