Rant - Really Fed UP

Martyne, 3 August, 2010 at 21:43 Posted on Planning 0 8

HI,

Im on a moaning one. I have billions to do before Friday and still havent finished work yet.

My bridesmaid has just been round to try on the shoes she bought to go with her dress (I told the girls to get their own shoes as with dresses make up hair jewelery hotels etc each bm has cost me around 500.00) well teh shoe shse bought were awful - ended up giving a pair of brand news shoes of mine i had bought and told her to wear them.

Whilst she is tryign her dress on her 15yr daughter came upstairs and came in the room and saw her dress which really annoyed me (think i might be overacting there)

Gave her her jewellery to try n with her dress which is part of her present and she hates it saws its hideous and can she buy her own - no i wanted everyone to wear the same - so pissed off that now with 2 days to go tomorrow im going out to buy something different.

My other bm calls me and lets me know that she cant take the hire suits back on saturday like she said she would, wouldnt be so pissed off but she is my sister and she just cant be bothered.

Whats worse is that her dress which i only picked up 2 fridays ago is now very tight so that it rises and you can see her shoes and i dont like them either

A few other things but in a nutshell im really fed up with the pair of them im meant to be staying in a hitek near the venue with them the night before and now i really dont want to .

please tell me im being a spoit selfish cow and overreacting

    No you aren't being a ssc :-)

    You won't notice their shoes on the day - you will have a hubby to look at.

    BM very rude to say the jewellry is hideous, she didn't have to comment, she wouldn't have to wear it again after the wedding if she didn't want to! Just ignore her.

    Don't worry about it - try to enjoy your night before - have a long bubble bath and an early night - then you don't have to spend much time with them ;-)

    I agree about the jwellery, twas rude of her indeed. It was a gift to her and she could have accepted it graciously.

    As for the shoes, well whats so hideous about them? wrong colour? not elegant enough? They should have run their ideas past you I think....

    are you sharing a room with them or just being at the hotel with them? I suggest you lock the door, run a bubble bath and have some me time from 8pm onwards Smiley smile

    I'm sorry that she didn't like the jewellery and that your sister is not able to help with the suits, but I do think you are allowing yourself to get upset about things that don't matter. In all 200 photos from my wedding I don't think you can see a single bridesmaid's shoe - and I had 5 of them!

    None of these things really matter in the end, so please try not to lose too much sleep over them.

    I think it's just got to the point in planning that there is nothing left to do but stress - and that's what you are doing (so am I so that's not me being rude). I know the details are important to you at the moment because that's what we can control but on the day they will fade into insignificance and it will be walking down the aisle, saying your vows and enjoying yourself that will really matter - things you can't practice at the moment! I hope you feel better - just remember it's the stress that's causing you to feel like this.

    I think it's probably really easy for things to blow of all proportion when you're 2 days from your wedding and very stressed. I would take a step back, remind yourself why you asked these women to be your bridesmaids in the first place - they must be very special to you - then breathe, and tell yourself that jewellery and shoe colour just doesn't matter In The Bigger Picture. The furthest thing from your mind on the day will be their shoes, I promise. Focus on aaaaall the wonderful things you're really excited about instead. It would be a real shame to spend the few final days before the wedding getting upset about stuff.

    It will all work out. The shoes do not really matter and will be the last things you think of when you are saying your vows. Like above post says you probably wont even see them in any of the tog photos. So chin up and start trying to relax before the big day.

    is there any way you can get the dress let out a wee bit before friday, to srt the tight dress prob. I bought my BMs shoes, and theirs are the same as mine, so I know mine will be fine. Aw just remind the girls who the bride is! I was BM for my friend last year and I wore what I was told and did as I was told. I have given my BMs a wee bit more of a choice on their dresses etc as I had, but I still have the over all say! (With my mum, bless her!) I think you should still stay with the girls the night before after all. You will need the time to "make ammends" with them if you know what i mean. As for the 15 yr old girl coming up...dont worry about that...shes a teenager and probably didnt realise she wasnt supposed to see the dress. Just tell her that shes not to say a word.

    try and not panic yourself my dear!! All is going to be fine!!
