My BM just cursed me out ... Update: She called and
Original post by csui25
I apologize as this is long. One of my BM's just cursed me out and hung up on me saying that she didn't have time for my sh*t! Basically this person was pregnant when we ordered the dress and refused to give me any type of guesstimate measurement insisting that I just order something with a 44 inch bust. She lives out of town and has some major marital issues and lives at home with her mom. The dresses come in and we knew it would be big but her mom who she swore up and down was going to alter the dress said she would alter it.When the dress came in her mom said she couldn't alter it b/c of how it 'fell' on my BM. I called and cleared up the confusion and told her if her mom still thought she couldn't alter it that she should give me a call at the end of the week. I even offered to squeeze her into my personal appt with Phyllis that coming weekend but she told me that she couldn't come down from CT b/c she was taking her son to the aquarium. Lo and behold, I am now almost two weeks away from my wedding and my MOH calls today and asks if I have spoken to the BM. I said no and she said I should call her b/c there are dress issues. At this point I am fuming b/c I have bent over backwards in the dress process for her. I paid for her dress and even based my dress choice on what I thought would be the least uncomfortable and most forgiving on her (all of my other bm are twiggies). I call her and ask what's wrong with the dress and she says that her mom won't alter it. I ask what's wrong and she says it's just too big. I ask her if she took it to a seamstress in the area and offered to pay for the alterations and she said she doesn't have time to research a seamstress. At this point, I tell her that I am upset that she waited until a few weeks before the wedding to tell me and then she cuts me off by saying how she has to work and she doesn't have time to hear how upset I am and that she doesn't have to listen to my sh*t and hung up on me. I am in tears and now my already uneven party (another bm had to drop b/c she is preggers and due any minute) is even more uneven.
I have 4 girls (including MOH) and 7 guys (including BM), 2 flower girls and a RB. WHat do I do??Plus I am really embarassed b/c I don't have alot of close friends and my FH has tons and now I feel like a loser who can't even fill out a BP.
Update: She called and left a nasty message saying that she tried the dress on again and it is too big and the more she thinks about it the more she realizes that I should give her her money back! Is she nuts?????

I would ask this person to forget being in the wedding. She doesn't seem to know the time, effort, and flexibility a BM should have. You are not a loser. Just b/c a person is pregnant, doesn't mean she has the right to be rude to you. If she didn't want to be a BM-she shouldn't have excepted.

wow I am so sorry you have to deal with this right now. I would say she is not a true friends cause a real one would not put you through this hell. My sister was preg. when she had to order the dress and gave me a litlle problem but nothing like yours. Don't think you are a looser! My whole bridal party is family. The only friend I have in there is my MOH. I have 5 girls. 3 of them are my sisters and another is my fiance's sister. I really hope everything works out for you but if she keeps acting like that forget her. She is not worth being in your wedding and sharing the special day with you.

I would kick her @ss out of the wedding party and do NOT give her $$ back. It's not your problem the dress doesn't fit. I'm sorry you have to be going through this.

Ditto! The nerve of some people...and this is a friend! If this is a friend, I'd hate to see her as an enemy!

I am glad that I am not the only one that thinks that is nuts. Then she went on and on about why would I order from a place that is nonrefundable!!!! She was like 'When I ordered from David's Bridal it was refundable'. Now, I didn't think that was true and went on their website, and lo and behold David's has a 'no refund policy as is standard in the bridal and special occasions world'. At this point there is no doubt that she is out of my wedding and out of my life for good. I am upset that this is how it all happened, but what can I do? At this point I just want her to leave me the hell alone. WIth 17 days to the wedding I am stressed out the wazoo and now need to redo my programs and a bunch of other stuff!!! I am so sick of this! Plus, now my MOH thinks she will try to crash the wedding to demand her $$ back since that is the only time she will have to really see me.

forget it, just tell her she's no longer in the BP, you don't need the stress from her. Just eat the money from her dress (in the long run, with all the wedding stuff its not that much) and be done with her. Its not worth it. Do you want her and her bad attitude with you the whole day of your wedding?

Do you really think she would show up there? Do you have any friends in common who could talk some sense into her?

My MOH said she wouldn't put it past her. She thinks that the only reason she wouldn't do it is b/c if the gas money it would take for her to drive there. I, however, pointed out that if she counted the $180 that she thinks she would get back from me into th equation -- she would still 'come out on top' even minus the $50 for gas. i just don't want this hanging over my head!

I am so sorry you have to go through this. It is probably the last thing you need to worry about. She is being very unkind and rude to you especially since it is so close to your wedding. Can someone be put in as a bouncer at the entrance of the hall that way she is not allowed in. Just a thought...s*cky situation...but I do hope that it will be an unissue on your great day. Just remember that it is your day and no one should ruin that.
Sending hugs your way!

I'm so sorry that this happened to you, but at least you found out who she really is before you had her in your wedding party.
I noticed that you have a coordinator. Maybe you should ask her to keep an eye out for your former BM and make sure that she is not allowed inside. I saw an episode of Who's Wedding is it Anyway? where the bride and groom hired a security guard to keep his psycho ex-wife out of the festivities. The coordinator was also keeping an eye out. Your coordinator could do the same for you. Just an idea...you definitely don't want her ruining your day.

Thanks Nuttella and Aly0124. Those are great suggestions and I will def. put them into play. I am just hoping this issue will diffuse itself.

Not a problem...I am sure things will be fine. Now you should concentrate on the good details of your special day!
