I was going to be a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding. I went in to the wedding center for my measurements. About a week later I found out I was pregnant. I went back to the shop to discuss dress sizes and alterations since I would be 6 months pregnant at the time of the wedding. The associate that "worked" with me asked to see the dress style that we'd picked out and asked what color the dresses would be-- burnt orange. (It was a fall wedding.) The associate looked at me and replied "Well you're going to be a big orange barn, aren't you!!!" I understand that she might have been joking, but please. a little more quoth next time. She continued to stand there and convince me that the dress would look terrible on a woman 6 months pregnant. I got a little emotional and I burst into tears and cancelled my role as a bridesmaid. To this day I still regret letting that old bitty insult me and talk me out of what should have been a great experience.
