Bridesmaid drama

Mel, 23 May, 2022 at 23:05 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 6
So it's 4 months until the big day, I have bridesmaids who hate their dresses and want to change for reception. 2 bridesmaids who refuse to talk to each other (same 2 who want to change and who aren't going to hen party!)
I've gone from 12 to 5 people going to my hen.... Its all so stressful. I've waited 14 years to get married and I seriously think I was looking at the planning with Rose tinted glasses on this whole time! Anyway rant over

    Sorry to hear this. Are you sure you want these two as bridesmaids? They don’t sound very supportive of your decisions. I think it would be unreasonable and rude of them to change for the reception. The evening do would be more appropriate but not the wedding breakfast.

    Honestly the fact that they aren't bothered hurts me because one is his sister and one is mine. I went to his sisters hen whilst I was 8 months pregnant and she's been my friend since starting primary school. I was hurt by the hen but the last straw was yesterday when she asked if she could get changed at the reception.

    Seriously who do these people think they are? I have been a bridesmaid only a couple of times (once for my sister) and neither dress was what I would have chosen really but I wouldn't dream of asking to get changed! It is just not the done thing, if you cannot wear something for a few hours then you need to have a word with yourself. I would put my foot down and say no you cannot get changed until the evening reception as it is my day and that is what I want. If they refuse then remove them from their duties, sorry but they are being rude.
