1st BM fight.....****UPDATE/MAKEUP*****

Original post by dazies1011

So yestarday I was all excited, ordered my dress and 2 of my 3 girls decided they like the dress I picked out and we just have to decide on colors. Now my flower girl is going to wear the smaller version of their dresses, no big deal. My other BM, my BBF, wasnt so happy.

Now this was the only time I could get my sister, she is in nursing school and has NO time til the summer. So since she gave the day I took advatage of it. My FSIL was able to go as well. My other BM couldnt get off even with 2 months notice, fine we can make an appiontment with her another day, that's what I thought.

So I call her and I can hear it in her voice that she wasnt excited at all, not even for me getting my dress. She asked me to email her the dress for the girls again and we get off the phone. I email her the site page and later last night she was online. I ask her what she thought she said they were OK. Now so you know she isnt happy with anything I ve ever picked out because she has gained weight and isnt comfortable with anything. Understandable but, everything she picks is from the 80's. Plus she doesnt like her under arms and wants sleeves. I'm getting marriedin August no one wants to wear sleeves, not even my sister whoi hates dresses and hasnt woren one since her PROM!!!! And I'm not talking tank sleeves either. So I tell her it'll cost her but, get a jacket made to match the dress but, dont wear it in pics or during the ceremnoy. Fine since she is worried about when she dances and lifts her arms up but, she'll have to deal with the sweat marks.

Ok so now that you know that...... We were texting eachother back and forth last night and I said that she isnt satisfied with anything I pick out , not even my dress. And she said she is always honest and she doesnt like my dress!!!! Fine but, you can find something nice about it and say something about that. She feels I should wear something tight and sleeky. Since I lost all this weight, bla bla bla. I'm the bride and I am going to wear what makes me feel like a bride and thats that. I didnt expect the dress I am getting to be my gown, I thought simple but, hey its my day!

So to finish this long vent and go get my sons hair cut off
I dont know what she is going to do. She told me know she is F U C K I N P I S S E D off. So am I. I texted her after she said that and told her I want her to be in the wedding but, that I feel that she is uncomfortable with herself and no matter what dress is picked she wont be happy. Like I said she has gained but, if she doesnt want to be in the party for that reason fine, I'll be hurt and upset for along time but, its her decision just like it was when I asked her.
Please no one take the weight gain as an insult, I am saying this because she tells me all the time how she feels in regular clothes.

****Also forgot that she she after it being OK, that it doesnt matter what she likes WE made up our minds**** Mind you I changed from tea-length to long dress cause she wanted that I understand that she wants to make a decision also but, then she should have been there as well. 2 months is plenty of time to get off from work.*****

******UPDATE***** After telling Fh what happend he is soooo P I S S E D and now doesnt want her in the wedding!!! I am going to have to wait for him to cool down and talk with him later. Then after that I'll have to deal with her. He says it is my DAY and no one should ruin it and he doesnt want anything or anyone like that to put stress on me now or the day of. I'll keep you guys updated

FH is right about most of the above. It is your day and you should have people adding stress to your day, but unfortanetly that's what happens, not that it's fair. I think he will cool down. He's just looking out for you and protecting you. I do hope you BM will snap out of this and be a true friend and just be there for you, usually they do come around. So I guess for now time is your best friend. And basically as far as the dress, I would just tell her listen I tried to accomodate for you be changing the length, I also told you that you can get the matching jacket to cover you arms, I am sorry you weren't able to be there when I went with the other girls, but 'I' picked the dress for my BM to wear for 'my' wedding and I really hope you can try to like it. I think you will look amazing in it once you give it a try. And just leave it at that. WHat else can you do.
Good luck!!!




We'll see what happens the last thing I texted her last night was that I think she'll look great in the dress but, she is just not feeling comfy with herself and that I want her in the BP but, no response.

im so sorry that you have to deal with this...you look amazing in your dress.

however, i hate txt messaging and everything gets mixed up when you text.

try speaking to her in person and maybe she can better explain herself

I am so sorry to hear that! I am beginning to think that BP's are more stressful than helpful! You really can't please everyone. I hope she tries to be there for you on your day. I hope it all works out.

that *****. this is the only thing about wedding planning i dont like. the fact that is so many different girls with different ideas and different likes throwing their opinions in and it just turns into drama.

SO sorry. FH is absolutely right. Its your day & if she is uncomfortable in the way she is looking & feeling she needs to deal with it & not take it out on you. Sorry if she really is happy for you & wants your day to be perfect then she needs to relax with herself and remember its for you. Of course we want all of our BM's to like what they are wearing but in teh end its one day! Get over it. I think your dress is beautiful & just because you lost weight you dont need to wear a slinky gown. What does that even mean?? I think that statement in itself is ridiculous. You wear what makes you feel beautiful & like a total bride. Good luck & wow i cant believe it but im a little annoyed at her for you. How could sh emake you feel likethis at the happiest time in your life? Just selfish.

I thought having 3 girls wouldnt bring on the drama

So we have made up, she is coming for Easter dinner tomorrow and we will talk more. Fh has calmed down and when we talk in person I will just state that if she cant handle being in the party for any reason then I'd like her to back out now so I have no DRAMA on My day
