Made of Honour for Maid of Honour

by ParisB on May 15, 2008

There’s a new movie coming into town and I, the kiasu one am up there with the best of them, fishing for free tickets to attend the premier and formal dinner at JW Marriot. The movie is Made of Honour that stars Patrick Dempsey aka McDreamy of Grey’s Anatomy. Let it be known now that he never appealed to me in Grey’s (when I watched it).

Reading the synopsis, I reckon this is a typical chick flick – boy and girl are best friends, girl gets married, boy suddenly realises he loves her, boy tries to sabotage the wedding… doesn’t it sound like My Best Friend’s Wedding with roles reversed? At least in My Best Friend’s Wedding, there was the droolicious Rupert Everett (never mind that he’s gay) to provide the eye candy. I’m not quite sure that Patrick Dempsey will do it for me.

All that aside, Nuffnang is offering free tickets for anyone who plays the Flip Flop Fishing game and gets the highest scores. Not only free tickets but the whole “wedding dinner” works with bagpipes (?!?!) and a full 8 course dinner at JW Marriott where diners are required to dress formally. I have a gown hanging in my cupboard that I know will do perfectly for the occasion and it needs some airing ;)

So, here is my highest score. I know it isn’t all that high, but its the best I can do seeing as I’m approaching busy times ahead with no time to play fishing games in sight.

Now the clincher is this – I am going to be maid of honour at my sister’s wedding. I have no idea what maids of honour do except hold the bride’s flowers – haha! – so, yes an expedition to the movies with the dinner, dress and the works will do the trick nicely! ;)

I hope this fishing expedition brings in the big one! Moby Dick here I come!

Yours fluffily

Wakakakakaka! I’m trying for this one too! Cos I also have a dress hanging in my closet that would be just perfect for the dinner… now I just need to get my very own McDreamy to accompany me in a tux, eh?

Free food! Positive! McWhossits…negative. The only thing that could save the movie is if suddenly Rupert Everett pops up and McWhossit realises who his long lost love is all along…

Aiyah! Maid of honour very exciting one. No problem.

From my observation/experience the remit includes:
-Harassment of bride and groom speech during banquet dinner
-Organising of the ritual harassment of groom when he comes a courtin, also a possible blackmail opportunity.
-Organising Hen night including making sure sex toys, novelty condoms and lingerie are a feature. Also, chocolate, that is indispensible. Or dodgy DVDs.
-Being buffer between Bride and Groom and everybody else (especially the parents especially when one groups expectations are not coherent with other groups expectations)
-Making sure parents of Bride not stressed out (crying jags and whatnot,it happens!)
-Look gorgeous, but just gogeous enuff without overshadowing the bride.

Rinnah: Maybe I’ll see you at the dinner! Not to worry I don’t have a McDreamy to bring along too.

Oddie: LOL I’m so going to forward this to sis.

to be maid of honor, have to remember to catch the bouquet! *wink*
When I was preggers 7 months, I caught the bouquet my friend threw. THRICE. Until I so paiseh. And it wasn’t like I tried to catch it or anything.
