| Had bridesmaids (7 of them because dh wouldn't stop asking frat brothers to be groomsmen) and also had the house party. In our area, it's tradition that friends of the bride's mother serve as members of the house party. I always assumed it was not necessarily a Texas thing, but a small town tradition where weddings are 'weddingplanner-free' and the extra hands are needed. Maybe not?
Re: Jenna. Have to say, after tales of her wild sorority days at Texas, she has turned out to be a very nice young woman. Seriously, what does the world need more...another i-banker? or teacher like Jenna? Gotta give props to those willing to take the pay cut and teach. |
