how much prison time do you serve for killing the bride?

I love my sister. Really, I do. But she has the ability to focus on minute details that would give Martha Stewart a run for her money. If it's not obsessing about the exact shade of color for the ribbon on her dress, it's making sure that she's found "perfect" matching outfits for my boys to wear to her wedding. Oh, and they aren't even *in* the wedding. Apparently, I'm either incapable of dressing them appropriately for this event or she just wants an excuse to pick out linen John-Johns because she misses having small children to shop for. I prefer to think it's the latter.

So now she wants to lower the neckline on the wedding gown. She's headed over here right now so that we can see how much lower she wants it. At first she just said, oh, go by the picture and lower it as much as the girl in the photo. Doh! I told her that I have know earthly way of knowing that particular model's measurements and how those would translate on her body. Of course, she *would* wait until the dress is almost completed before wanting this done. She wants to hurry because it will affect which jewelry she wears.

If I don't kill her before the wedding, please, someone bring me a stiff drink, pull me out of the fetal position and convince me to stop banging my head on the floor.

LOL, Lisa! Now, now. Just take a deep breath, bite your tongue, and humor her. But you might, just as an aside, relate some of the more blatant "bridezilla" stories, just so she gets the hint. That might help her get a little perspective. After all, weddings are NOT the end-all and the be-all of life; the actual marriage is vastly more important. So many brides--and their mums--seem to lose sight of that singular truth in their quest for the "perfect" wedding day.

Is there room on that floor for me? My son is getting married on June

10th. It's HIM, not the bride that is the problem. "Mom! That color won't go with the bridemaids' dresses." Me, shocked: "How do you know?" He: "I have a good eye for color." Well when did that happen and where was I? I'll be so happy when this wedding day is over. Now I feel better ... Liz W

Tell him you promise not to dance with any of the bridesmaids.

Please tell me you aren't still planning to also make the cake for her event, too.

Just say "no."

Of course! lol. Fortunately, she hasn't put much energy into the cake details. I already made her a "mock-up" cake at Christmas, so she already knows what it will taste like. I'm just more concerned about transporting it and setting it up safely than anything else.

If she even MENTIONS turbans I will loan you my shotgun. If things escalate further just remember your high school civics class. You will be judged by a jury of your peers. WE are your peers. Even if you tone things down to a brutal beating and partial maiming, any twelve of us in this group, sitting in the jury box, will acquit you within 20 minutes and wait for you to be signed out so we can go merrily off to lunch.......hopefully with alcohol, cheesecake and chocolate! If all else fails just keep a paper lunch sack around and breath into it from time to time when your vision starts to blur.

If you need a "get away" car after you beat her to death, just give me a call. "I" understand! Barbara in SC ..

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

And if you're not up for a shotgun, call me. We'll go out to hubby's "playroom."

I was gonna say that I think murdering a PITA bride, Even if she is your sister (and remember to add in any emotional distress she caused during your childhood....that will help convince the jury) is justifiable homicide every time. ;)

Seriously, tell her how much you **can** lower the neckline and leave it at that. You can only do what you can do. So tell her how far it can go and then firmly tell her it can't budge another 1/16". ;)

I promise to drink a glass of wine for you tonight. I might also take a bubble bath on your behalf. Anything I can do... ;)

Oh, and as for getaway cars....I ought to mention I drive a mini-van. Can get 6 other people in there when I'm driving it with room for a lot of fabric in the cargo area. lol
