If you’ve ever had the joy of being a bridesmaid, you’ve likely heard the phrase, “you can definitely wear this again.” Most friends nod along while secretly dreading the day they have to wear that dress a second time. However, one woman from Kansas has shown that it’s possible to rock a bridesmaid dress even two decades later.
Jessica Lane, a children’s book author from Oklahoma, shared a nostalgic photo from her wedding on her anniversary, stating, “These two 22-year-olds are celebrating 22 years of marriage! Hubba-hubba. (Apologies for the dresses, ladies.)” While numerous friends responded with typical anniversary well-wishes, one friend took it up a notch.
Her former bridesmaid, Lisa Brooks, quickly chimed in, “Sorry about the dresses? I wear mine all the time!” and shared a series of images showing her sporting the burgundy dress while doing laundry, watering her plants, and relaxing with a book. Talk about a bridesmaid who knows how to have fun!
Lisa told Home Insemination Kit, “Jessica and I don’t see each other often, but we always share laughs on Facebook. We’re planning to coordinate author visits to local schools in the Kansas City area. I think it would be fantastic to read ‘Mary Had A Little Glam’ in Jessica’s wedding gown.”
Jessica added, “Apparently, not everyone in 1995 was on board with long, off-the-shoulder gowns in a burgundy brocade that resembled Thanksgiving tablecloths. Those dresses were made by moms, grandmas, and random seamstresses.”
The nostalgia of looking back at past fashion faux pas is real. Jessica’s choice epitomized early 90s trends and we’re thrilled that at least one friend values that unique style.
Lisa shared that her mom kept all her bridesmaid dresses through the years. “I’ve been known to randomly put one on, join whatever family activity is happening, and act like it’s totally normal,” she said.
When Lisa posted her pictures, Jessica’s response was priceless: “This is the best anniversary gift ever!”
