Starting at the Beginning..

Why hello there. As you can already tell, this is my very first blog. Shout out to... Christine Knasel for the inspiration.

Alright, so a little bit about myself. I am a sophomore at Michigan State and I am a journalism major. Now, hold on there I know that due to my major, I am supposed to be AMAZING at this whole blog thing, but to be honest I'm a little intimidated by it.

Well, I will start off with an explanation of my title. My dearest friend Christine Knasel is getting married in 52 days. I met her at the beginning of the year at fall training, because we are both resident assistants at MSU. When we first met, we hit it off like right away which was awesome. Soon, I found out she was getting married and like every other girl on the planet wanted to be a bridesmaid. However, Christine is like SUPER popular and has 8 bridesmaids already so I was denied access to the coveted spot in the bridal party. But, never leaving any stoned unturned, Lora, another RA, and I decided we wanted to be delusional bridesmaids. Basically what that means is we pretend to be bridesmaids. I know it sounds nuts, which is where the lovely and affectionate name delusional came from. So that is why I am a delusional bridesmaid and to be honest, I have totally earned my place in the wedding party by spending 8 hours making invitations and going dress shopping for 6 hours. I know what you're thinking, are you nuts! You volunteered time for a wedding you aren't even in? It really is a great thing though because I love Christine dearly and I love that she is getting married, her fiance is AMAZING! So it was totally worth it, plus now I get to be the understudy in case one of her bridesmaids cannot come. 2 girls are studying abroad and flying in a day or 2 before the wedding so if there are problems with their flights, I get to step in. Hooray! Don't worry I'm ready to slow down those planes. Not really, but just being involved with the wedding and being invited is enough for me.

So, I think that's a good start and look forward to more confessions of a delusional bridesmaid.
