I wrote an e-mail to Jodi immediately this morning when I found a terrible display of BDS. That's right, I made up my own term for women that have bad weddings. Bridal Deficiency Syndrome. It's official. Make sure I get paid once this gets picked up.
It is a sickness that seems to be spreading across the country, overcoming so many women in this vulnerable position of engagement. BDS is characterized primarily by crazy eyes, use of the term "princess," and not being able to count so high as to number the rhinestones on your chosen dress. Side effects are love for pouf, flowers, tiaras, and LOTS AND LOTS OF BEADING. It's a sad and terrible malady, and this is my campaign to increase awareness of the disease.
Some common physical symptoms:
We need to reclaim the sanity of women everywhere. We need to take the Swarovski crystals out of their hands, and we need to tell them that no matter how comfortable flip-flops are, they look ridiculously tacky with a wedding dress. ESPECIALLY ones WITH Swarovski crystals on them that make up you and your fiance's initials.
I blame the industry for even creating these things for poor, sad, misguided, over-excited women to see and purchase. Why do you do that? Why do you make things so hideous, and base entire businesses around them, offering them to poor, unsuspecting girls just trying to get married?
Ladies, let's re-focus. Let's bring it back home. Let's tell that girl at the store trying on dresses next to us that to add more pouf and gathers to the lower half of her body is not doing her any favors, and let's remind everyone that sparkly and poofy does not equal pretty.
