Would you ever ask your boss to be a bridesmaid or groomsman for your wedding? Well one assistant did just that, and her boss gladly accepted the invitation. The bride’s boss was none other than Sarah Jessica Parker!

The bride began working as SJP’s assistant during Sex and the City, and she even helped produce the Sex and the City movies. Recently she has been working as the vice president for Parker’s Pretty Matches production company. The wedding took place at a private club in Greenwich, Connecticut, and SJP’s Instagram account chronicles the occasion.
For those of us who are not friends with celebrities, nor friendly enough with our bosses, there is a new service that allows you to hire a bridesmaid! The bridesmaid you hire won’t be as famous as SJP, but she will definitely be one of the most professional bridesmaids available.
A woman from Florida has started her own Bridesmaid for Hire business, and she caught everyone’s attention by posting an ad on Craigslist. Since the ad went viral, business has been booming. The Bridesmaid for Hire business is so popular, it even offers four levels of bridesmaid packages. You can Skype with a bridesmaid to get tips and advice, or you can order the ultimate package and a bridesmaid will be delivered to you on the day of your wedding. The ultimate package offers a bridesmaid to come help with everything your friends can’t or won’t do!
Packages start at $199 and can cost up to $1,000 or more—depending on the activities, level of involvement, as well as seasonality, travel, wardrobe, and other associated expenses. The business is even looking to expand, and they are now accepting applications to become a professional bridesmaid. So if your girlfriends can’t handle your “bridezilla” expectations, you might want to consider hiring a bridesmaid. This way you’ll still have your friends at the end of your wedding day!
But who’s responsible for the often outrageous expenses many bridesmaids are shouldered with these days?
