Sigh, with a week to go until my hen do 2 of my bridesmaids have started sending me bitchy texts about each other to me. One (my best friend) is complaining that the other (my sister) has only got involved in helping with the hen do in the last couple of weeks whereas my sister keeps complaining about how rude the other one has been on several occasions now. Why on earth do they think I would want to hear this?? I'm so upset with both of them. I was so excited about my hen do but now I'm really worried there is going to be all this negativity and hostility between the two of them. :-( I'd also finally got to a place where I was excited about the wedding and the planning seemed like it was actually going well!
I should point out that my three bridesmaids have never actually met each other. Unfortunately I am now in the opposite end of the country from all of them and they also live a good couple of hours from each other. I ended up getting my dress online due to budget reasons and I also got all their dresses online so we haven't been able to bond over dress shopping. Part of me was worried that I missed out on the whole "dress shopping experience" but the logistics of trying to get everyone together in the same place was just impossible so I'd just accepted it. Through out the whole wedding planning experience I've found it hard that I've had to do all the planning on my own so far away from my friends and family.
I'm also worried that getting ready on the wedding day might be a bit of a tense affair and I feel like I've been a bit of a rubbish bride for not organising something for all my bridesmaids together. Although I really don't know when it could have happened as I've only been able to go home twice since I got engaged a year ago. Hopefully they will all bond at the hen do, fingers crossed! I've sent them both a text saying they don't need to like each other, just get along when I'm around and to stop sending me bitchy texts.
Bit of a pointless post really but just needed to rant! Anyone else had problems like this?
