5 Things To Do When Your Long-Distance Best Friend Is Getting Married
Skyler Anderson

All my life I have waited for one of my best friends to get married so that I could be a bridesmaid and assist with the wedding planning. Well now, my best friend is getting married and wedding planning is in full swing. The sad part, we don't live super close and that makes assisting with wedding planning a little hard.

But, here is what I have realized I can do to be the best long-distance bridesmaid I can be.

1. Get Excited And Tell Everyone!

This one comes naturally. I am so excited for her wedding and I literally tell everyone I can that she is getting married. I fit in something about her wedding in like every conversation. Seeing you happy for her will help her get excited and relax.

2. Accept Every Picture She Sends

As a long distance bridesmaid, you will get a butt-load of pictures. Whether its flowers, invitations, or dresses, you will get at least 5 different pictures of it. Accept these and analyze them and give your honest opinion. The bride-to-be will need help in making decisions.

3. Send Lots Of Ideas

More than likely, like me, you know the couple and the bride very well so you have a good understanding of what the wedding should be like. I can guarantee that the Bride will appreciate getting some ideas and pictures that you may have for her.

4. Help Whenever You Can

Whether you are researching something or putting together a decoration, never be afraid to help. Even if you only see her for two days, try to help with something wedding planning, that's what her life consists of right now. Another thing I can guarantee, she will never turn down an extra hand for all the DIY.

5. Remember That Its Her Wedding

Wedding planning is a lot of fun and easy to get wrapped up in, but it's so important to remember that it's your best friend's wedding and not yours. Yes, she will love to hear your ideas, but don't overpower hers. If you don't agree with something, make sure you think about if its something that you really think she needs to change or if its a personal preference. Remember, you are her support, you are not the focus.

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.

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.
