Bridal Idol

Weddings bring alot of decisions with them. One of the more important decisions we've made thus far is who our attendants are going to be. It wasn't a hard decision - I chose a life long friend, Renee, and a life long relative, my sister. Craig had it reasonably easy too.


Renee's off travelling the world, so prior to asking her to be my maid of honour, I had a worry about what I'd do if she couldn't get over. Then I came up with a brilliant idea - "Bridal Idol"


In Bridal Idol, contestants compete to become my bridesmaid. They'll have a series of tasks, and each day the "panel of judges" - myself - will vote one off.


Yes, it is a good idea, and why, yes, I do have some ideas for tasks, should you wish to undertake a Brial Idol yourself

• Fend off annoying relatives - best fending wins
• Pit stop: Powder nose, repair chips to nails, replace pantyhose if necessary - fastest stop wins
• Calm the bridezilla
• Toasting round, where the best and nicest (not necessarily true) speech about the bride wins
• Present opening - time trials
• Running in heels and an evening gown

I can think of several girls I know that would be great at all of the above, but bridesmaids are usually close friends, and there's no competition for that.
