  • bridemaid bother! HELP!!!!!!

  • Posted by jet4rh

i am getting married next year and have having 4 bridesmaids 3 of which are family members and the other my so called best friend. so you can guess which bridemaid is the issue here?! well, at first i thought i being stupid and petty, but i thought a bridesmaid is supposed to have interest in the wedding and the plans, because this is where i am wrong. my friend doesnt ask me about further developments in the plans and this is when she actually speaks to me, she never contacts me to see how i am or anything. the only time i was going to see her in the last 2 months and shes cancelled on me. when it comes to dresses, at first she asked if she could wear a trouser suit (of course no!) then ive compromised what i wanted as the styles that i wanted dont suit her. when theyve been tried on she keeps saying well im taking it off at night etc. i am worried she will make the day either a big show about her wearing a dress or make it more stresful than it needs to be! i am all ready stressed and there is more than year to go. i feel i have rushed in and now dont want her to be bridesmaid. how do i tell her this?? (sorry to moan but really need advice, my h2b has offered to tell her as he doesnt want our day ruined but i think it should come from me)

bridemaid bother! HELP!!!!!!

my best friend let me down from the start first she did not want to organise my hen do then she wanted to bring her sister to the wedding. (her sister is her other best friend) and in the end i told her to forget it and be a guest. I have now asked friends from work who i have know for only few months but i know they will give me good hen do and be supportive as they have recently got married themselves.

bridemaid bother! HELP!!!!!!

I had similar issues. I never officially asked this girl to be a BM, but since she made me her maid of honor (she really didn't have many choices), she automatically assumed she'd be in my wedding. I had a long engagement, so as it was getting closer, I was really trying to figure out who I wanted in the wedding. I only wanted people who I could be around that were positive. I couldn't handle extra stress. This girl just began to stress me out so much with her random crap (not even stuff about the wedding either... she became a snob and looked down on everything I did... her idea of being funny was to tell me how tacky things were that I chose. I could NOT handle this). Eventually I just lied to her and said that I was changing around my bridesmaids due to family obligations. I eventually just stopped talking to her. She's not even invited to my wedding now. It's sad, but it's gotta be done. Your sanity is not worth that extra stress.
