Being a bridesmaid when on spectrum for friend wedding

Rainbowgirl

Hi everyone 

I have been asked by a friend to be a bridesmaid for her wedding and I am really nervous about the whole thing.  I am not keen on noisy environments and looking to get loop earplugs so I can still speak to people.  My family will be there but I still find awkward around strangers and I always mask to fit in.  I am just nervous about whole thing and I have only just recovering from Christmas its just all so overwhelming and yet I want to enjoy it. 

I was wondering if anyone had any advice?

    I can definitely recommend Loop Earplugs also - I must admit that I have 2 sets of the Loop Engage (original and the newer version) and Loop Experience (same as Engage), and I also have 1 set of the original Loop Quiet and 1 set of the Loop Quiet Plus).

    I've come to rely more and more on them due to environments becoming louder and my hearing feels more and more sensitive.

    I was a bridesmaid for my brother's wedding in 2013 (which didn't end well and they were divorced about a year later), and I have to admit, I hadn't discovered Loop Earplugs (not even sure if they had even been made at that point) - it was fun, even though the event did stress me out at the time as I am based in England and my brother lives in Montreal, Canada - so the travel added to my stress as well (and I hated wearing a dress as well lol).

    But going back to what others are saying - this is all about your friend's day, you're just there to support her and help with whatever she needs help with. Yes, it's a massively busy, hectic time, but you'll look back on it having enjoyed your friend's day.

    If it helps - get your friend to make a list of what she wants you to do - and as you go through that list, tick it off as done - you'll be very surprised as to what you can do.

    Wishing your friend and her partner a wonderful day and wishing you a little love as well.
