This is What it’s Like to Spend a Year as a Professional Bridesmaid
It was towards the end of last year that we first started hearing about the idea of a professional bridesmaid. The concept, coined by a 26-year-old New York woman who posted an ad to Craigslist offering her services as a bridesmaid, took off, to our surprise: She received a ton of inquiries from brides all over the country who were actually quite eager to take her up on the offer to do their bidding for a nominal fee. (She’s a professional bridesmaid, after all.)
One year and 30-plus weddings later, Jen Glantz is talking about what it’s really like to be a bridesmaid for hire and the lessons she’s learned along the way, and it’s actually really sweet.
Aside from all of the pre-wedding venting, first looks and tulle-filled bathroom breaks, Glantz gained some meaningful friendships and remains close with many of the brides she has met throughout the process.
