To the bold, I am a weapon;
To the gallant, I am a pin;
To the gracious, I am a service;
To the bridesmaid, I am a win.

To the traitor, I am a bribe;
To the star, I am a screen;
To the swift, I am an arrow;
To the bride, I am a dream.

lauramarie Apr 24, 2003	A bride's maid isn't a runner up. And a Silver Wedding isn't the dream of every bride, as the answer states.
newf May 06, 2003	Great teaser!!!!
griphook May 15, 2003	the expression, always the bridesmaid never the bride is often used to describe a person who always comes second(runner-up). i plead guilty to the generalization that ALL married women look forward to their 25th anniversary. btw thanks for your comment. my thanks to newf too.

tenzin_gyatsu Jan 21, 2004	This would've been too easy (or too general) but I thought it was cash/money: to bold capitalists money can be a weapon, to gallant ppl (or smartly dressed in one form of the word) money can buy clothes (or something you can wear which roughly = a pin) to gracious people money is used in fund raisers i got nothin for a bridesmaid, but for traitors money is a bribe, to the swift or those who pursue (money) can be their guidance (or arrow) to a bride money and luxury can be a dream.
griphook Jan 21, 2004	maybe too easy but what is impt is the better fit
griphook Feb 08, 2004	i hope also enjoyable
