The weekend started brilliantly, with me buying my wedding dress - absolutely stunning!!!! It then went a bit wrong...
I have two grown up bridesmaids - one lives locally and the other is seven months pregnant (she wasn't pregnant when I asked her to be my bridesmaid) and lives a 2 hr drive away. On Saturday, the local one told me that she has quit her job, leaves on 5th March and is going travelling round Europe for a year. This has completely messed up any support she will offer, won't be here for the hen do, will only fly over the day before the wedding so no hair/make up trials. It also means I can't take them dress shopping together, as the pregnant one won't fit into any dresses at the moment!
Then, to make things worse, I phoned my Mum for a chat, and she said that she doesn't want to do the flowers for the reception after all as it will be too much pressure and not enough time. To put this into context, she agreed to do the flowers over a year ago, and managed to do them for both my ex's wedding and my aunt's (so clearly not an impossible feat for her!).
It's just so frustrating, that people say they will help and then they don't. Have decided that I am going to do everything myself, even if it kills me, as it is just not worth the hassle of trusting other people!
Rant over, but it really took the shine off the excitement of getting my dress!
