A Pre-Nup for your Bridesmaids?!

While surfing the web this morning I came across this article and thought I had to post this to see what you ladies thought.....

Bridesmaid Pre-Nuptial Agreement. Yes, you read that right. If having to squeeze into a puffy, unflattering horror of a dress wasn't bad enough, now bridesmaids have another indignity to contend with. Some brides are so worried about the way their wedding party will look, they have a lawyer draw up a pre-nup that can include things like requiring that a bridesmaid not gain more than 7 pounds before the wedding, not consume too much alcohol at the reception, vow to take extra care of her skin and hair, and not to make any inappropriate advances toward male guests at the reception. [For a peek at a sample agreement, go to the American Bar Association Website).
Although brides who've used pre-nups were reluctant to go on the record for this story, several of them explained that the agreements were necessary to ensure that their day was perfect.




Would any of you actually do this? Just curious to know your thoughts.

This is out of control. The reason you choose to have bridesmaids in your wedding is because you want them to be part of your big day. They're your close friends or family and it means a lot for them to be there to support you. It is NOT so the pictures look good or so they don't embarras you on the day of!! This is taking it waaayyy too far!
