no - you have WAY too much going on mentally - which is why this is the LAST thing you need to deal with - rip off the bandaid and rip it off now!

that's easy, slip her some poison or her push her down the stairs



OMG Jess!

On a more serious note- I would take her aside first and explain why you are asking her not to be a part of your day- also do what you said- give her the money and then some so she can't argue about that.

Can things be talked out with this girl?

OK just have to do it quickly and I would do it on neutral territory....Do not do it over the phone....

Just tell her face to face about how she is making you feel. Maybe she will realize what she is doing and be a better bridesmaid. Obviously this person is important to you so just tell her how you feel. If she can't understand then give her the money back and send her on her way.

If you are going to get rid of the bm...you've gotta give the money back. How close was this person to you originally?!?!

What did she do? If it's truly personal, you don't have to respond, but in wedding planning, perceived offenses get exaggerated in our own mind when none or a lesser offense than originally thought occurred.

If you kick her out, be forewarned that the friendship will end. Reimburse her for costs she has expended.

Wow...I am glad that others are feeling the same way...I am thinking of getting rid of someone too...

it is a hard decision...but she is driving me nuts...and it shows that she does not care...

SO I say just tell her and then leave in her hands

yep.. my only regret.. ONLY is that i told her to wear the dress in good health and not to return it to me.. . My florist needs fabric to wrap the bok flowers in.
