Suggestions?

[lexfromjersey]

So my aunt's getting married and asked me to be a bridesmaid. Totally cool, way happy for her, and absolutely flattered. However, I've never done this before and I'm starting to get nervous.

is this the cool aunt who gave you the pantsuit you wore for your thing senior year? i feel like regardless, it's something you should bring up to her, see what she thinks. otherwise, blackmail a tailor to make the perfect custom suit for you. i'm sure you can find one with skeletons in the closet.

Lol I'll work on that. I know a guy that makes his own pants... it can't be all that hard to make a suit, can it? :-)
