Hi ladies (&gents),
I just want to sound off/get some advice really.
I have a small group of very good friends, one of my friends (a) really dislikes one of my other friends (b). When i told a i was beginning to plan the wedding she got very excited and told me she wants to help with everthing, which at the time sounded great but has since turned into a bit of a nightmare. I invited (a) round to talk about weddings/plans etc (ive never even attended a wedding), she cam with her daughter who is 16 and preceeded to tell me that she had told her she could do my make-up on the day???? i didnt have the heart to say no in front of her daughter and still havent as yet (no backbone).
I took friend (b) to my first wedding dress shop, i couldnt take them both because a dislikes b so much, anyway i found a dress i really liked but knew it wasnt 'the one' and want to visit lots more shops, a text me and asked if i liked any of the dresses, i told her i found one i liked but wanted to keep looking and invited her to a dress shop the next week, she replied with a text saying her AND daughter would love to come (her daughter is my babysitter). Anyway the day before the shopping trip my oh informed me he had booked a shift at work the following evening so i had to text friend and explain and ask if her daughter would be able to babysit while we went, the reply i got back was WHATS HE GONE AND DONE THAT FOR!!! i was furious at this message i dont understand how she could be so disrespectful of my other half! i politely replied saying that oh has to book all the shifts he can otherwise there was no point going dress shopping because i wouldnt be having one!
We went to the bridal shop and i tried on a few dresses which i didnt like, my friend had nothing to say and sat with a face like thunder, i tried on one more dress and fell in love with it i told my friend i really liked the dress when i came out and she said ''its nice but theres something about it i just dont like'' but couldnt pin point what? she said ''anyway it didnt make me cry so its definately not the one''. When i got home i cried, i sent her a message saying how much she has upset me and i had no reply/no apology, then a few days later got a text telling me she and daughter are going to book tickets for the wedding show so i should book mine (hadnt even discussed this???)
I dont relly know what to do now, its really putting a downer on things for me at the moment but im not really sure how to sort it out. i really dont want to upset her or fall out with her, she takes things to heart. She has booked flights and hotel already.
Any of you been in this situation before?
