You've heard that old adage: Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.

Not true for Jessica Simpson, though. The 33-year-old's wedding to fiancée Eric Johnson is juuust around the corner, and she is a true master bridesmaid, having been in a ton of her friends' weddings.

Seriously, Jessica must have danced to the song "Shout" a zillion times. She completely deserves a medal for outstanding role as a member of the wedding party.

So let's take a look back at all the times she slipped into a bridesmaid dress, shall we?

Back in 2004 Jessica donned a pale pink bridesmaid dress with a matching fur stole for her friend Jennifer MacFarlane's wedding. 

She had a break for a while there, but in 2012 she was in a flurry of weddings, starting with her friend Lauren Zelman's in March 2012. A very pregnant Jessica walked down the aisle in Palm Springs wearing a printed pink halter-style bridesmaid dress.

And when her best friend and former assistant CaCee Cobb married Scrubs actor Donald Faison in December of 2012, Jessica wore a black floor-length gown for the occasion—and she was escorted down the aisle by groomsman Zach Braff.

Even when she was pregnant with her second child, Ace, Jessica still had bridesmaid duties. She showed off her impressive baby bump in a black long-sleeved dress during her friend Kathryn Sykora's wedding in June 2013.

And just last October Jessica donned a navy blue chiffon gown for her friend Lauren Auslander's autumn wedding in Rhode Island.

But now Jessica can hang up her bridesmaid dresses for a while, because it's her wedding that's on the horizon. Remember the gown she wore to wed Nick Lachey?

Let's go way, way, way back to the early aughts.

The year is 2002 and a 22-years-old Jessica walked down the aisle in Austin, Texas, wearing a gorgeous, custom-made Vera Wang gown accessorized with an 11-carat Harry Winston diamond headband attached to her veil.

Her look was traditional, romantic and ultra-feminine. Because Jessica went for a full-skirted, princess-style dress before, it's possible that she'll go for something more modern and bodycon this time—especially since she's looking especially fit these days.

It seems like every time Jessica is photographed she's looking slimmer and fitter than ever. Most notably, she's been flaunting some insanely toned legs that have us wondering if she'll buck the trend and go for a short wedding gown just to show 'em off.

Either way, it's clear that Jessica's months of rigorous workouts are going to payoff in a big way very, very soon.
