In the realm of friendship, few things are as entertaining as the age-old promise made during wedding festivities: “You can definitely wear that dress again.” For many, this statement is often met with polite smiles, followed by some not-so-friendly thoughts. However, one woman from Kansas has taken this sentiment to heart, showcasing how a bridesmaid dress can indeed be stylish—two decades later.
On her anniversary, Sarah Lane, an author and mother from Oklahoma, shared a nostalgic photo from her wedding day, declaring, “These two 22-year-olds are celebrating 22 years of marriage! Apologies for those dresses, ladies.” While friends and family chimed in with congratulatory remarks, one friend decided to take a different approach.
Lydia Adams, a former bridesmaid and friend, responded, “Apologies? What do you mean? I wear mine all the time!” She then shared a series of photos of herself in the striking burgundy gown while engaging in everyday activities like doing laundry, watering her plants, and reading a book. Talk about a fashion statement!
Friendship and Fashion
In an interview with a popular parenting blog, Adams remarked, “Sarah and I may not see each other often, but we always share laughs over our social media posts. We’re even planning to schedule an author visit at various local schools in the Kansas City area. I think a reading of ‘Mary Had a Little Glam’ in Sarah’s wedding gown would be quite the spectacle.”
The backstory of the dresses adds another layer of charm. Lane humorously noted, “Not everyone in 1995 desired a long, off-the-shoulder gown crafted from burgundy brocade that resembled a Thanksgiving tablecloth. Those dresses were lovingly made by moms, grandmas, and some random seamstresses.”
Adams mentioned how her mother kept all of her bridesmaid dresses from past weddings. “Over the years, I’ve been known to throw one on randomly, join family activities, and act like it’s completely normal to be wearing a bridesmaid dress,” she shared.
When Adams posted her photos, Lane couldn’t help but respond with pure gratitude: “This right here is the best anniversary present ever.”
