Fug in the City

I’m very sorry to have to induct Jennifer Hudson into the Dude, Is That A Bridesmaid Dress? Honey, No club:

Membership includes such perks as: people swanning by holding nearly-tipped-over champagne flutes and trilling, “and when are YOU going to get married, dear? Tick tock!”;  six to eight unscheduled, early-morning phone calls from a woman named Mean Judy who works at the bridal store up the street, the subject of which ranges from how late you are in ordering your dress and how you’ll probably therefore ruin the wedding and, it is implied, your friendship with the bride, to the demise of The OC, to global warming; strangers running up to you and throwing bouquets at your head; and a free lifetime supply of Spanx. The good news is that there will also be cake.
