I'm THAT girl...You know the one with 27 dresses...smile...and there's more of those pictures, but I only chose the most recent weddings I've been in, excluding my best friend's--the last pic. posted.
It's Thursday and 27 Dresses (2008) has aired twice this evening. The more I watch this movie, the more I fall in love with it. Unlike the protagonist in the movie, I do not have a sister and I have not been in love with the groom of any of the many weddings I've been a part of--THANK GOD! I also have not had to be in two weddings at once although I have had to choose.
Like Jane, played by Katherine Heigl, I do still have all of the dresses I've worn--mainly those of my adult years. I have loved every moment of being helpful, wanted and needed in the lives of the women I've been able to stand with on such important days of their lives. I've been the maid-of-honor in four or five weddings...the number seems to escape me. And, maybe the worse similarity to this main character, is the flaw of "looking for love in the wrong places" when perhaps it is right in front of my face.
The good news is there are seekers and admirers out there...Too bad some are too old, too young, not together, too unwilling to commit, overly committed, unchurched, too churchy...you know? The typical issues. And, hopefully, I'll be out of that dreadful statistic of the 70 percent of single African American women--Yes, look it up; it's an all day research and blog entry on ots own.
There are days (like today) when I long for the day I will no longer be in the supporting role but the one saying "I do". Until then, I've got another wedding next week...picked up the dress yesterday (smile). T'is the season!
