including my two sisters, who are my MOH.
I'm just so spent at this point. We went dress shopping over the weekend and ordered these lovely dresses:
Bridesmaid Dresses We had a little issue about the shawl. I don't like it and I don't want them wearing it. I won't be wearing one and I just don't care for the look. After much yelling, I agreed that they could wear them during the reception. But for the ceremony and the pictures, I didn't want them on.
We order the dresses. Everyone goes home. I'm sure they think at this point I'm an unreasonable b*tch who has to have her way and can't understand why they want shawls.
I even told them we don't have to get these dresses. We'd look for one's with sleeves, but noooooooooo they LOVE this dress (yet they want to cover it up with a shawl?? WTH?)
I talked to my mom a little while ago and she told me one of my sisters called her and said:
'Apparently I can't say anything right to Melissa, so I'll just shut my mouth and not say anything to her at all'
And this is the person I want standing beside me on the most important day of my life??
Not so much, anymore.
I really thought my sisters would be happy for me, would help me with the planning, would offer to assist me with stuff, or anything. But it's been like pulling teeth getting them to do anything for this wedding...and we are now at 3 1/2 months!
It'a not like they are young and irresponsible. They're 44 and 40. And I completely understand that they are in a different stage in life, with their kids and their husbands and their houses and their work, ect ect ect. But I just really thought they'd be super excited about their baby sister getting maried and it's just not been that way at all. I've received no help, no inquiries regarding anything I might need or ANYTHING at all. It makes me so sad.
I thought this was supposed to be such a wonderful fun time (though obviously still stressful) but it's not that way at all. I don't think I should have to ask them to help me, but maybe I do?
I'm just disappointed with this whole entire situation.
