Anybody else watching Real Housewives of NY? How ’bout Bethenny Frankel’s spinoff ‘Bethenny…Married’? Well, if not, you missed a great, modern fairytale where girl gets hot man, amazing career and a baby to boot. But I digress. Let’s pretend you missed it. I’ll set the scene…It’s Bethenny’s wedding day. She’s all hair and make-uped out, locked and loaded into her gown, getting emotional about walking down the aisle in mere moments and- Whoops!- somebody has GOT to pee. She stops a moment, considers her options. Decides (As I would. I get it. I have a tiny bladder.) that she’s not going down that aisle with thoughts of ‘When is this going to be over so I can relieve myself’ at the forefront of her mind. So, her friends in attendance rally to the cause. Someone produces a bucket(a bucket!) and dives under, while another two maids hold her dress up, up and away from the spray. It’s not pretty. It’s just not. But, I believe she made a solid decision in an intense moment. And the rest of the episode reads like a little girl’s wedding fantasy minus this little incident.
This is where I have to put in my words of advice… Brides, it takes only a minute to take an entire wedding gown off. I know it feels like a headache. But what would you do if you peed on your gown holding it up in the stall, or worse yet….stepped in the bucket!!
Do yourself a favor and take a moment for yourself! I also recommend that you take off your gown before your reception, dust with some baby powder to absorb perspiration, freshen up, and of course pee without the help of your bridesmaids!
