Are you freaking kidding me?!?!?! (Vent)

Original post by waterspout4

I get an email from a bridesmaid saying she can't make the wedding! Are you kidding me?!?! She tells me with less than 8 weeks to go THROUGH EMAIL!!!

We just had another BM and GM drop out about 6 weeks ago and our friend who was supposed to be the ceremony musician. You really find out who your friends are.

That is terrible! She should have at least called you and told you this.

After reading this, I got so ticked off! The level of RUDENESS and INCONSIDERATION is unbelievable!

First, tell her azz off. Second, write her off.

In answer to your questions, they already paid for the dress. It's all theirs.

Thanks for your support! Anyone have ideas on what I should say?

Omg, I can't believe how rude and selfish she's being!!!!!!!! I completely understand financial difficulties, but you gave her 18 months to come up with the $$!!!!! She knew she was OOT and would have to stay in a hotel, why is this happening all of a sudden?? And over email, that's completely ridiculous!!!!

I swear, instead of sending out 'will you be my BM?' cards we should ask them to sign a contract!!!!!!

Is there any way you can loan her the $$ to pay for the hotel and then she can pay you back a little at a time?? So sorry to hear about this!!!!!

Wow!!!

I can understand money being tight, but geez, that's ridiculous with 8 weeks to go. You have every right to be upset and you're right, you really do know who your friends are now. Just remember those that will be there, love you and wish you all the best.

I wish I could pay for her room, but that's just not possible. We're already paying for the entire wedding ourselves. Plus, our entire BP is from OOT. Everyone has money issues. How can I pick just one person to help?

Plus, many of the girls decided to come without their husbands and crash in a room together. So it wasn't that much.

I like the contract idea for the BP to sign!!!

OMG! Kelly, I'm so sorry! I can't believe she told you in an e-mail! That's terrible, she should have at least called. I don't understand why people drop out like that at the last minute! But it's true that at least you know who your friends are. You can be sure that on your wedding day all of the girls standing up there with you and supporting you are good friends who truly care for you!

Thanks for the kind words Nancy. Right now I feel like I've run out of kind words.

I'm so sorry! 8 weeks is unacceptable. I was upset when one of my BMs had to drop out due to a conflict, but that was over a year before the wedding.

The first thing that my mom told me when we started planning was that we'll find out who's really wishing us well. She was soooo right. In the last 3 months we've lost 2 bridesmaids(one of which is my first cousin), a groomsman, and a flower girl (who is FH's niece). I feel your pain

So sad. Your wedding is close to mine too. Why are people such wack-a- doos?

That's really awful. She should have already had the $$ put away, you gave her enough notice!

She said it was for financial reasons. That's what they all said to us. Obviously 18 months didn't give them enough time to save money.

I just can't believe it was through an email. How wrong is that?!?!



Wow!!!
