A bit of friendly advice from a past bride

I can never forget the day, when my wedding coordinator told me...'Now that you are planning your wedding, you will know who your true friends are'. I nod my head with disbelief....

Sure enough, I had the shock of my life when my MOH showed up 3 hours late at my bridal shower. Did not take part in any of my planning for the wedding. All my friends and family started talking about her and critizing why was she not there early to even help set up. It was getting to the point, where no plans were being made that a friendly co-worker from my job stepped in and gave me a nice bridal shower. For the wedding, she was not much help either.

Now, after the wedding is over, she calls me and tries to act as nothing ever happend. Wondering why she and I don't talk as much.

Edited to add..I have know this girl for 19 years.

I think, I might have too, but that does not mean we can still be as close as we were in the past. I would never have done that to her. I am not saying I am a perfect person, but....I love making my friends happy and seeing them content.

I can sympathize with you! My MOH who is my 1st cousin who I have been very close to my whole life not only dropped out of mywedding totally, RSVP date was yesterday and still has not responded.
SHe showed up to my engagement party an hour late, gave me a re-gifted present for it, did nothing to help my mother with my shower except tie a ribbon and do a guess how many skittles are in the bottle game.

She didn't come dress shopping with me, we finally picked a dress and then for her brother's wedding she picks the same dress for their wedding and then goes back to her future sisiter in law and blabs how upset i am. DUH!

I confronted her after my shower about what has been going on and she actuallyl had the nerve to say I didn't pay enough attention to her at my shower and I only call her when I need something. She said some choice words and since I don't get along with her sister in law dropped out.
If my cousins don't come to the wedding they are done in my life..and they will know it..
