I have to set up my little story before I give you the details of the generosity I bestowed upon my dear lovable friend........
Briana(ex jw), is going to a wedding next Aug with her boy friend Nick. The wedding she is going to is Nick's cousin(groom), who she used to date(short period of time). Briana got the "groom's identity" news this past week. Devastated about this somewhat embarrassing event, Briana will still hang on Nick's arm with her held up high. With all of this in mind Briana needed a dress, not just your everyday dress but a fabulous dress. Well we found one, the perfect Audrey Hepburn classic little black dress. It costs $92.00 too much for Briana, a single working mother, not to mention college student at the University of Milwaukee. Well we all came up with an idea(not I) to have a fake Bachelorette Party, and raise money at Summer fest(huge festival with National Bands). I was driving down with 6 free tickets (I got from a Restaurant owner that knows me) for my friends and I.
Well I got the call with the news and a "Congratulations your getting Married", I was the honorary Bride for the evening. I had to wear a Veil, a T-Shirt that says "Suck 4 a Buck" and the shirt has pinned candy all over it, beads, a flashing pin. I agreed to do it, because she is one of my very best friends, and I would do anything for her. Plus, I think I was the only one who could pull it off. So, I shamefully put this outfit on, I was just glad I had shoes to match.
Off to Summer fest/Downtown bars.....I had women making out with me, men pick me up twirl me around, men strip for me(holding my head down screaming). Guys pulling beads/candy with their teeth(doing it to Briana too). It was all pretty funny, and somewhat humiliating. Well we raised $91.00 that night. Enough to pay for the dress. I never had so much fun, it was like back in high school yet going to the bars legally.
Here is the T-shirt...........
