0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:06.4	Hey guys, welcome back to We Minute Acme. We are doing the solo episode of the month and the theme
0:13.6	is wedding etiquette. I don't know if this is going to be a full episode or just a half episode.
0:19.7	I don't know how long this is going to end up being. If for some reason there is more time
0:24.9	at the end of wedding etiquette, we are going to talk friendship. If not, that will be the next solo
0:30.2	episode. So let's just get right into it. Shall we? Pre-wedding. So now we are going to go over
0:38.2	the pre-wedding questions that you had on etiquette for pre-wedding stuff, including bachelorette,
0:46.8	shower, etc. So we are going to go. We have one question at a time. How to say no to being a bridesmaid?

1:37.5	it depends. It depends why you're saying no. If you're saying no because of money related things,
1:42.0	then I would be like, hey, I love you. You know that. I'm not in a good financial place to support
1:49.2	you the way that I would like to. So I don't think it's fair of me to accept this and be your bridesmaid
1:56.2	at this time in my life. But I really love you. And I want to be there for you in other ways.
2:01.1	And I'm really excited to come to your wedding and celebrate you. If you were saying no because
2:05.5	you don't feel like you're close to this person, then I would just be like, I'm so flattered,
