Fiancé
The story
Heyah👋🏻😄!!
My bestie's boyfriend wants to propose to her💍.
They've picked out a wonderful oval diamond ring💍✨!!!
My bestie joked that we should go to a wedding dress store and try on dresses... Me included😱!! I'm not dating anyone... Let alone engaged🫠!! So, I don't know if that would be right for me to try on dresses🥴.
Plus, I'm 4 foot 11 inches tall with watermelons the size of H🫣!! I don't know any wedding dresses AT-STORES that would accommodate that🫥? But my bestie is 5 foot 6 inches tall and has average size fruits😊👍🏻✨!! Like... Hmmm🤔.... A larger honey crisp apple🍎... But 2 of them, since I don't know many people who only have 1 fruit naturally✨👀?
Anyway, what should I do, should I say, "sure" or "nah"? It would be nice to be there when she picks her dress... But I'm only seeing her for 3 days until I head back home for 2 days then hop back on a plane to fly across country🛬.

Points of view
Honestly, I don't see the big deal with trying on dresses. It's not like there's a rule that says only brides-to-be can step foot in a wedding dress store; life is too short to stress over something like this 🎯. Trying it out doesn't mean you're rushing to the altar, it's just a chance to have fun and be supportive. And yeah, I get it, finding the right dress for your unique shape is a pain, but part of the experience is laughing at all the dresses that may or may not fit. Anyway, you've got such a limited time with your bestie, maybe just go along for the ride and enjoy the laughs; it could be a memorable moment you both look back on fondly.
I gotta say, I get your concern. Trying on wedding dresses when you're not even dating seems awkward; nonetheless, it's crucial to support your bestie. However, considering your unique body measurements, store inventory might not cater to you 🍋. If it feels uncomfortable, just discuss your worries with her directly. Enjoy your limited time together, but don't push yourself into something awkward.
I don't entirely see the problem here; going wedding dress shopping without being engaged isn't inherently inappropriate!!! It's a social construct that restricts who can try on these garments. Sure, the standard retail sizing might not cater to every body type perfectly, but alterations exist for a reason; couture is not limited to a specific demographic. You're overthinking this venture and should focus on the experience itself. Supporting your best friend seems more important than these reservations, don't you think???
Trying on wedding dresses when you're not even in a relationship sounds bizarre... but why not??! Bridal stores typically don't stock samples for every body type, so your concern is valid; why put yourself through the hassle? Prioritize your comfort level. As they say, "if it doesn’t fit, don’t force it." Just be honest with your friend. Enjoy your time together without unnecessary stress!!! 😅
I get that you're feeling a bit weird about trying on wedding dresses, but honestly, it sounds like an adventure you'd be missing out on if you don't go! 😜 I once tagged along with a friend in a similar situation, and even though I thought it'd be awkward, it ended up being a blast. You don't need to be planning a wedding to enjoy playing dress-up for a day, you know? Sure, finding the right fit off the rack might be a challenge, but that's part of the fun! Just go with the flow and enjoy the moment. Who knows, you might even find inspiration for the future. Don't let these doubts hold you back from making cool memories with your bestie! 🤗
