I haven't been in a wedding since I was the flower girl in my sister's wedding when I was seven. I'm fine with that. Too much responsibility.
I was going to say that I haven't been in a wedding, but you remind me that I was the flower girl in my uncle's wedding at about the same age. I remember panicking b/c I ran out of petals too fast. My dress was a lavender ruffled number that my grandmother made and that I repurposed to be Cinderella a couple of Halloweens later. By which time, I believe, uncle and aunt had divorced.
I was asked to be in a lesbian wedding, but the date fell right during my Peace Corps training, so no go. I wonder if I shall ever be a bridesmaid... heck, I'm starting to wonder if I shall ever be a bride.

btw - Threadless is having a $9 sale right now, but only for like 26 more hours.
Oh man, I look back at the bridesmaid gown I picked and I want to write letters of appology to all the women. I had a completely different image in my mind - wanted dark green - but got talked around to a pastel blue, floofy, hoop skirted THING that actually had bows on the butt. Why? How? I don't know. I blame it on being 19 and foolish.

But it doesn't specify if they have to be outside pants
I was a bridesmaid in my sister's wedding (1981) and best woman in my male friend's wedding (1993). The dress I wore as a bridesmaid required almost no changes to double as a generic SF princess dress at mid-80s conventions. As best woman I wore a tux shirt and jacket over a black skirt. I liked the latter better.
I have been a bridesmaid 4 times. Last October was the most recent and it was a lesbian wedding where all the attendants were "best friends" rather than bridesmaids or groomsmen.
I have one bridesmaid's dress that I wear a lot. It's a simple floor length black gown, with a scoop neck and short sleeves. Another one was a floor length navy blue with velvet top and satin skirt. I had that one cut to knee length and wore it a few times. I have another one make of a really pretty blue irridescent satin with spaghetti straps. One of the straps broke, though and I need to get it fixed. I haven't had occasion to wear it again, but I would.

That shirt would be even funnier in England.
