Always the Bridesmaid

Finding love after losing what Amy thought was love.

Bonus: How to make a Halloween costume from bridesmaids gowns that you will never wear again, by my sister, Beth Goldner, author of Wake (posted on this site by others, I keep my copy)

Works best with a solid color dress. 2 purchases: a tacky tiara and a toy weapon, such as an axe, knife or gun.
Roll the dress into a bunch and put into a corner for 2-3 days so it wrinkles.
Then, using a knife or scissors, make random slits/cuts into the dress. (After all, you never were going to wear it again.)
Using red paint, put random spots on the dress to look like blood.
Do your makeup quite severely, with running mascara; goth works well.
Do your hair like you are unhinged.
Put the tiara on backwards or crooked.
Carry the toy weapon.
Wear sneakers.

You are now a disgruntled bridesmaid!!
