I was a bridesmaid once and also did a speech at the reception. I was so exhausted by the time the evening was finished I felt like I needed to be going on a honeymoon – not home to the mess!

Awful I know…but I did offer to take over decorating, organizing, or anything else they wanted me to do – other than the bride’s maid “thing”. It made for a much more relaxing time for me. 😉

I’ve never had pork belly but it looks absolutely delicious!

The only stress was a mate getting stuck in traffic.

More things need to use five-spice. It’s good on warmed peanuts as well.

After that story maybe I should be glad I’ve never been asked to be anyones bridesmaid!

As I mentioned, I’ve been a bridesmaid several times and thank goodness all my friends are relaxed people. One is a most efficient planner and honed in on some details which were deemed unimportant later, but never did she have any “grand visions” which she forced on us thank goodness.

The words…. fail me. What does she do? Panty inspections before the ceremony?

That’s some fantastic pork belly – looks like something they’d serve in a decent Chinese restaurant… I’m super impressed!

Not my kind of friend for sure. I sure hope your friend doesn’t see her anymore, such selfishness doesn’t deserve friendship. The pork belly looks delicious, I love 5-spice powder!

Straight up, that is not a friend. I have been a bridesmaid way too many times in too many ugly dresses & too many ugly situations to ever have bridesmaids. I got married 15 years ago & can safely say i don’t know what a linear wedding is, perhaps because i wasn’t a bridezilla. I was still at Uni with a sister, 4 sisters-in-law, best friend from preschool, primary schoo, high school, Uni, part time job . . . who exactly could i ask anyway?? So . . . i had a flower girl only, my husband had his best mate that was it!! After all, it’s all about the certificate & marriage, NOT the photos & production, or showing off. My friends all had a great time as they weren’t on the formal table or forced into any photos with partners etc & i love it.
Now the pork recipe looks a treat, i’d like to flick some sauce over the bride’s dress, he he, love Posie
