The bridesmaids wear black!
When my only sister Jodie was getting married, I was really excited to be her maid of honour. I hadn’t been a bridesmaid since I was 5 years old.

Hubby booked a table at a smart Thai restaurant in the centre of Birmingham which gave me the opportunity to have a nice night out without being covered in chocolate and baked beans courtesy of baba.
