15 Ways Always Being the Bridesmaid Is Actually the BEST

People tend to pity a bridesmaid who is a serial wedding party member — the girl who is typically single, with no immediate marriage prospects. Being a bride is great and all, but with that role comes a ton of pressure and responsibility. Bridesmaids, on the other hand, get the best of both worlds. They can feel important while they play their part in making sure the wedding goes off without a hitch, and they also get to kick back and enjoy the show. If the prospect of meeting a hot, single groomsman isn't enough, here are some additional reasons why always being a bridesmaid and not a bride is something to celebrate. Source: Universal Pictures
