Over last summer my college roommate asked me to be the matron of honor for her wedding this upcoming April. I was so honored that she would ask me and said of course I would! I am really excited and nervous to have such a big job. We have been bouncing emails back and forth since July full of wedding plans, since she lives on Long Island. She and her fiancee are having the ceremony and reception at the coolest place; an aquarium!

Over the weekend I went and ordered my dress at David’s Bridal. Mine has a different style than the brides maids, but we will all be wearing the same color. Just to note, it is not that horrible pink you see me in up there. It will be clover green!

I had a crazy “it’s a small world” experience when I went to David’s to order my dress, though! The consultant helping me was very nice and we were chit chatting. We were talking about dress sizes and losing weight and I mentioned that if I were still in the Army I probably would drop a bunch of pounds before the wedding. Over the course of the conversation we came to figure out that I know her husband and worked with him at the Pentagon and we have all these mutual acquaintances. We then proceeded to gossip like hell about all of them! It’s a small Army after all!
