Hey, as the title says I just wondered if anyone else's bridesmaids have been a pain?
i have 8 bridesmaids and 2 of which have been hardwork, but 1 more than the other. I had to wait until she wanted to go dress shopping because she was "dieting" which never happened. They wouldn't wear the same dress as the others so they picked their own. The dresses came in but her "diet" had worked the other way and her dress didnt fit so we ordered her another, that came in the wrong colour and it was as if it was a relief to her making me wonder why she agreed to be a bridesmaid in the first place?? We're all getting ready at my mums but they don't want to get up as early as I've asked. They won't have their hair the same way as the other adult bridesmaids. One is the mum to another one of the bridesmaid and she still hasn't told me her shoe size so I can't get her shoes. Every time I ask for the little one to try on her dress she makes an excuse. I only ask because its too big and I need to see how much we need to alter. Finally her dress arrived 17 days before the wedding and I asked her if she would come through with me, she text me back at first but is now choosing to ignore me so ill have to go on my own for her dress.
I wouldn't mind as much but nobody has had to spend a penny. We've paid for their hair trials, we were paying for makeup but were doing our own now. We've bought their dresses, shoes and are paying the alterations, we've got their flowers etc. they've not even had to pay petrol for the loads of trips to the store because of the problems we had.
With 17 days to go I just feel like saying forget it! I don't need this stress I have a billion other things going on with work and trying to pay all the suppliers for the big day. I need dresses altering but don't dare ask because I know ill get another excuse which is going to annoy or upset me again. H2b said to text her and say we're going at 10 see you there but I've got to the point of I literally can't be bothered anymore!
They have been so demanding to where they've told me they're not happy about the way I want them to walk down the aisle. Like I said, I wouldn't mind as much if they offered to contribute towards the wedding or paid for themselves but I find it really selfish the way they're being when they don't have to spend a penny, it's more insulting when were scrimping and saving to pay the rest of the wedding off (I'd left something off the budget that wed booked and only realised the other so we were £250 down) and they're just so not bothered.
At first they wouldn't even come on the hen party. They decided to come but only for one night because they "couldn't afford it." They were struggling for money that much they drank their weight in wine, flirted with every male going offering "friends with benefits" then ended up being sick in a pub and going home without a goodbye.
Do you think I'm just being mean? I'm just sick of being treated like a bloody mug. It's got to where I can't wait for it to be over so I don't have to deal with people telling me what they're doing rather than me telling them! Im sick of the tears now.
