72%的伴娘曾扮丑以反衬新娘
A new survey has revealed the lengths some brides will go to in order to make sure she shines on her big day.
一项新的调查显示，一些新娘会不择手段，只为保证她们能在自己的婚礼上光彩照人。
In a recent poll of 1,000 bridesmaids, 72 percent of those questioned believed they had been lumbered with an unflattering outfit to make the bride look better, with only a third given a choice in what they wore.
But most gave as good as they got - more than a fifth of bridesmaids have insisted on altering their outfit before they would participate in the wedding.
Even worse, the majority of those questioned admitted having negative thoughts about the nuptials they had attended.
It seems very few bridesmaids get any feelings of envy when watching their friends get hitched, in fact, 43 percent of women had been bridesmaids at a wedding which was a 'bit naff.'
A further 37 percent said they felt the wedding couple were mismatched and shouldn't be marrying, with more than half of those questioned admitting they had been bridesmaids at weddings where they were glad they were not marrying the groom.
The survey by online jewellery brand Vashi.com did show that the old impression of bridesmaids on the prowl for single man still applies these days.
A fifth of those asked said they had picked up up a new man when they have been a bridesmaid.
