I need advice M/H is not helping

Evening ladies, well this is my dilemma,
I asked my younger sister to be my Matron of Honor, and she was thrilled!!! I asked back in August, now the months are draggin by and she still has not gone even too look for a gown for herself, now take in mind that she lives in Fl. I have even sent her pics of the dresses that I like colors that would make her look nice and even got addresses of the places she can go to I even found a David's Bridals there and she just always says to me' oh you know I wor until late, oh You know that colot does not look good in me' But if it was for one of her best friends she would have gone to China and made the dress herself. I just do not know what to do anymore any advice ladies?

Say it straight, you were told by store that you need 19 weeks for this and 4 weeks for alterations and you wil need to place the order for her. MAKE UP DEADLINES!

I hear you. I have a similar situation with a bridesmaid. I know how frustrating it is.

That's great advice, Deb. I would definitely give her deadlines.

lol That was me in my sisters wedding this past summer. Being a MOH when you are younger is hard...trust me...people expect you to do a lot and expect it to be an honor but when you've never done it before or you are not financially set its kind of a burden. Just try to talk to her and maybe let her know what you expect and dont expect of her...might ease her mind a bit!
