<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IvaPan, post: 7841697, member: 78949&quot;]And also here. It was a big deal for us, little girls, to be chosen as bridesmaids, and a lot of disappointment if not. Usually they were nieces or cousins of the bride or the groom, and with a lot of young siblings around it was not easy to be among the chosen <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />. Also boys were sometimes chosen. The process of choosing involved subtle negotiations within both families and need of compromises, sometimes leading to offence and long lasting grudge among family members. The chosen bridesmaids would be dressed in gowns similar to the bride&#039;s and adorned with small white flower bouquet brooch with a puffy feather (which I longed for!). No bouquet was thrown and chased as the bridesmaids were all underaged, sometimes as little as 4-5 years old. Now it is more like in USA.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back to the topic - the pearls are adorable![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
