Please tell me if Im being crazy...(sorry long)

Ok so one of my friends (was a bm) whom I have known forever is getting married in November (this engagement already broke once, they're trying again) and I am her matron of honor (I guess Im one of her best friends, and she is one of mine) her sister is her maid of honor (they dont get along at all) although I love her...she is not mentally stable (really) and thats ok but she she does things sometimes and I just dont know what to do because you have to deal with her a little differently than you would other people.

ok...

So 3 weeks ago she calls me and tells me I have to get my measurements and put a down payment on the bm dress. She calls me a hunderd times, sends me emails, etc. Ok...so the next day I go to have them taken (by a professional) and before I even get a chance to call the bridal shop they are calling me. Fine. I speak tot he lady and give her my measurements and she tells me she is going to order me a size 4. I tell her that Im a little worried about that and maybe we should order a size 6 instead. The lady goes over the measurements and the chart...and even takes out a size 4 from the same designer and measures the actual dress and she decides that the size 4 would be the better choice. So I give her my CC number and the order is in.

Ok so flash forward 3 weeks, my friend calls me to tell me that the order went in...the last bm paid and the order is in....um why the hell was i rushed! Anyway no big deal...then she tells me 'by the way I changed your order to a size 6'

What?

I said, 'Amanda why would you do that? I spoke to the lady and we settled on the size 4, its going to fit perfectly...I thought maybe I wouldnt have to alter the dress too much...now I am for sure going to pay at leat $70 on alterations'...and she says, 'Its not a big deal ill give you the $70, and its better safe than sorry, and the lady is an idiot we already had an issue with her, its better for the dress to be a little big than small, and plus Susan (another bm) tried on the dress in her size and her boobs were spilling out i dont want that'..I say 'Susans boobs are three times the size of mine!!'

I really dont think she should have made that decision without me. I know its her wedding but its my dress, im wearing it, im paying for it...and she should have talked to me first!!

I sent her an email expressing her I feel and she replies: 'I dont agree, Its no that serious, Its just one size up.'

Im going to kill her. Im always patient with her because she has alot of issues...but I cant always do it

oh man, you would think the dress shop would take your suggestion! better safe than sorry, they should know that!!

and as far as your friend, she should give you a bit of a break knowing you just planned your wedding, and know that things have to get done!

Although i would have been annoyed, I would just let it go...

You don't need any more drama and if god for bid the dress came small then she would have more to complain about :(

You dont need the added stress at all you know?

You're right...Im letting it go. I was just upset that she made this decision without talking to me.

I think the reason I was so mad was because the frustration has just been building up with her for a while. She is from Texas and she decided to move in with me 3 months before my wedding. She lived in our basement but was in my face all day every day. I have a wedding to plan and was a full time intern, and in grad school, preparing my move to Ohio, applying for jobs, trying to spend as much time with my family, etc...and all she cared about was this boy and that boy, she didnt have a job... she was fighting with all of my friends, ...it was just a million things. I know Im going to sound really crazy now, but 2 weeks before my wedding we got into a huge fight and I kicked her out. Now, I am not a confrontational person at all. It was 4 in the middle of the afternoon and I was really frustrated with my moh for not taking her dress in to get altered, so I guess I was speaking loudly. This girl sends me a text from downstairs and asks me to 'keep it down because she is trying to take a nap.' i was furious, ad I told her if she didnt like it to go get a hotel room to take a nap in. Then she comes running upstairs like a bat out of hell and starts yelling 'Im sick of this, I LIVE HERE TOO!!' I lost it. We yelled so loud the neighor heard, I told her she was stressing me out and that she did not live here and needed to leave. We ended up working it out right before the wedding...but I guess me and her dont mix well when a wedding is involved. lol you guys probably think Im crazy!

ETA oh and she attacked me during our argument...my SIL and mom had to break us apart

I would let it go. We all got crazy over certain aspects of our wedding whether we want to admit it or not. So let her be crazy over her wedding.

Yeah I agree to let it go. . she shouldn't of done that but does seem like she did it to try to help - so TRUE that's a little controlling but probably I imagine all of us in our own weddings got a little controlling. . probably too it seems like this just hit your nerve bc you're still dealing with emotions from your relationship outside of this - so your rx is more about everything than this you know? hang in there. ..
