Bad Bridesmaid

I should have just kept my big mouth shut. Alas, when I was asked to be a bridesmaid in one of my close friend's weddings, I decided to let everyone know just what I thought about over the top weddings. And I didn't spill my guts to just my close friends, either. I wrote a story in a national newspaper admitting to being a Bad Bridesmaid -- a woman who just can't get it up over someone else's Big Day. It was supposed to be funny. It was supposed to be a shot at the over-hyped wedding industry, not a slap in the face to the bride herself.

But unfortunately for me, she didn't see it that way. I just can't have any negative energy around my wedding, she said. The negative energy being me, apparently. And so I got kicked out and watched the wedding from the back pew in a black cocktail dress. But you know what else I got? (besides drunk?) A hilarious story of weddings gone wild -- plus tons of other great tales or terror from women around the world. They shared their embarassment, shame, injuries and pitfalls, as well as tons of insight into the deadly serious business of trying to make another woman's fantasy day a reality.

Now I'm putting all my bad experiences and those of other disgruntled bridesmaids to good use: like no other book on the market, Bad Bridesmaid is a hilarious tale of wedding party disasters, full of anecdotes and advice from women worldwide, and the perfect gift to get former, current, and future bridesmaids ready for action (or therapy). It's time to give the bridesmaid back her voice, her independence, and the natural waistline that has long been hidden under layers of responsibility and badly constructed tulle! Let her toss the bouquet -- It's time for us to dish the dirt.

I see this all the time.(Work in a Bridal Store) In my opinion: If you agree to be a BM, you know full well what the process entails.(Possible ugly dress,stressed out bride,predictable and boring showers,etc)If you don't want to be a part of these things, then back down.

It must have been a slow news day in Canada for Global to put her on.

I've been a bridesmaid 4 or 5 times and it was not really a soul sucking experience. I was glad to be a part of my friends day and enjoyed the partying. I don't get all the negativity surrounding this issue.

Just finished the book. picked it up on a whim one day and felt totally comforted by the fact that other girls have been kicked out of the coveted role of bridesmaid. I recently was kicked out of the bridal party for my brothers wedding, 2 days before the wedding actually. and this book in a strange way helped me with my anger and hurt over the unceremonious dumping i received by my new sister in law. Great book, no truer tale of horror has ever been told.

I do agree that the joke was pretty tasteless. Jokes like that may fly in person (not likely though) but they don't on the internet when you can't hear the laugh or see their face.

@Passlovealong She actually wrote a book about it and it got pretty popular so this interview may be a response to her boo

People really take themselves too seriously. Weddings are a big waste of time and money.

Also, why do you do it? You do it because you care, and so that those people will be there for you when you need their support.
