But you totally thought I was kidding, right? Nope. Here is a mini-mini bride collage for you:
what the fuck is a mini bride?
This is a great question and I'm glad you (?) asked. A mini bride is about as creepy as it sounds.
I am not sure who came up with the concept of the mini bride; if you google it 80% of your results are going to be for "mini bride dresses". The overwhelming merchandise and retailer response makes me think that this is some kind of elaborate way to make people overspend on flower girl dresses, but here is the gist:
A "mini bride" is neither a flower girl or a Jr. bridesmaid. It is a little girl who is dressed in a (usually elaborate) mini wedding gown. She walks down the aisle separately from the bridesmaids and the flower girl(s) and carries a bouquet. I can't confirm what order these wedding party members walk down the aisle but I am pretty sure that the mini bride goes either right before the bride or right before the bridesmaids. The mini bride is given a ring (or a necklace) at the altar.
In most cases where mini brides exist, it is the daughter of the bride who is getting married for a second time. The mini bride then says vows to her future step-father. (yes, really) Essentially, marrying him, because then she gets her ring or necklace. Creepsville: population mini brides and their Step-Dad/Husbands.
However, I have read about instances where the mini bride was not marrying her step-father, she was just a mini bride for the sake of having one. (WHY?) On all counts of the mini brides I say: what the fuck indeed.

Pineapple on pizza - yay or nay?
This question bums me out because I can't eat pizza! On the for reals (because I used to eat pizza) I would never order it but, I would never spit it out. Pepperoni and black olives are the best way to 'za.
