Because they love you , 9 times out of 10 they'll do anything that you ask of them. But don't expect them to be grinning from ear to ear about it.

I talked to several past, present, and future bridesmaids who informed me of the things they'd really rather NOT do.

Your bridesmaids DON'T want to:

1. Wear ugly and uncomfortable dresses

2. Spend all of their cash money on that dress they hate

3. Be in charge of doing hair

4. Be in charge of doing makeup

5. Be in charge of taking wedding pictures

6. Be forced to dance

7. Feel obligated to throw a shower especially when nobody else wants to contribute

8. Buy and wear uncomfortable shoes

9. Buy the same shoes as everyone else, especially if they cannot walk in them

10. Be expected to give an elaborate speech, especially if they're shy

11. Be forced to dance with somebody that they just don't want to dance with

12. Miss out on your dress fitting

13. Be expected to make every pre-wedding event if they truly cannot attend

14. Have to throw down more money than they have for multiple events

15. Have to pay for multiple accessories they're expected to wear

16. Learn a dance when they have two left feet and no rhythm

17. Be expected to make important decisions that only the bride should make

18. Be bossed around for the entirety of the engagement

19. Be treated like a handmaid

20. Have to babysit any children during the rehearsal/reception

21. Not getting to bring a plus one

22. Be left in the dark about what they're supposed to do for the whole engagement

23. Have no idea what to do come wedding day

24. Change anything about their appearance

25. Be expected to lose weight solely for the wedding

26. Have to buy a ridiculously expensive present

27. Have to travel long distance for multiple events before the wedding

28. Have to say yes for everything

29. Have to have the same hairstyle as everyone which may not look good

30. Feel or look bad for being broke

31. Be expected to know what you're thinking 24/7

Bottom line is that there are definitely a few things bridesmaids would be thrilled to not have to do. But because they love you, they'll do whatever it is that you ask without hesitation.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
