Wedding Party Contest Winner...
When we read the story of Starza K. and her "bridesmen" we instantly agreed that she had a winning story. She details how she met her attendants and what each of them means to her. Here is an excerpt:
Dude of honour: When the love of my life popped the question almost a year ago and I had to make the decision of who should be my Maid of Honor, I had to do some soul-searching. Should I pick some girls who I don’t really know, or should I pick one of my boys? There’s one boy in particular.... Although, I can’t really see this huge, burly, bio-medical engineer helping me make wedding favors, he’ll do it if I ask.
Batman: When I asked him to be a part of my wedding party, the first thing he said was, “Do I have to wear a dress?” I said, “No, Batman, you don’t” and he said, “’Cause I would for you.”
Crazy Matt: Crazy Matt is a bit of a hippie, very anti-establishment and anti-tradition. But, he was the first person to ask me how he should get the measurements for his tux. I am honored that he is a part of my wedding party.
David: He was the first person my fiancé and I met when we moved to Norfolk. He has become my BFF, fully and wholly since moving here. He is the perfect person to round off my wedding party.
So, I won’t be able to shop for bridesmaid dresses and I’m not quite sure what we’ll do for a bachelorette party, but I have my boys. They made me who I am today and I could only be so lucky to have these 4 boys by my side when I marry a boy that I am proud to add to their ranks.
Congratulations Starza, you are a lucky woman to be surrounded by so many great men! Enjoy a few laughs with the boys – on us!
