I found this New York Times article about brides asking their bridal party and mothers to do botox and other cosmetic procedures to be both horrifying and hilarious. Here's an excerpt:
A bride’s request that you whiten your grayish teeth can strain a relationship. Samantha Goldberg, a wedding planner in Chester, N.J., recalled a bride who asked her attendants to get professionally spray-tanned for a Hawaiian-theme reception.
Alas, two women were claustrophobic and couldn’t bear standing in a tanning capsule. “They asked the bride if they could use regular tanning cream from a salon,” Ms. Goldberg said. The bride refused; she wanted everyone to be the same shade. The women ultimately declined to be bridesmaids. “Friendships of 20-plus years gone over a spray tan?” Ms. Goldberg said. “Sad!”
If you ask your friends to all get spray-tanned for your wedding because you want them all to be the same shade, you deserve to lose all your friends. Sorry.
