My Bridal Party

So, thank GOD for my MOH who is an amazing friend. She is there for me through good times and bad. She has FUN talking wedding with me, listens to my vents about the stresses that come along with it, gives me great ideas, goes with me for wedding stuff, and I know I can count on her.

As for the rest...

there's my bridesmaid, who was originally supposed to be my MOH, but claimed she was too busy being a new doctor to do her duties. So, she had her mother call my mother to bow out on her behalf and demote herself to a bridesmaid. Well, got a call on Valentine's Day that she herself became engaged 4 days before and was required by her religion to be married within 90 days. Okay... great. Hadn't heard from her, so I shot her an e-mail about two months ago to see how she was. Got an e-mail back saying she was busy and looking for a place to get married. Her b-day was May 14. I called her and got her voicemail and left a message. Nothing. Okay... 6 months until my wedding, and I haven't spoken to one of my supposed best friends in over 3 months now. Feels real good...

My current sister-in-law and 2 future sisters-in-law make up the rest of my bridal party. I never get any help from them. In fact, the FSIL's apparently complain about the costs of everything. Not one of them offers to help. It's almost like my wedding isn't really happening. It would be nice for one of them to offer to come help make favors with me. SOMETHING that would suggest I'm getting married, other than the complaint that the bachelorette weekend in the vineyards is going to cost a lot of money. In fact, I get wise remarks about how 'into' wedding planning I am, and how I'm always on this website. It's almost like they think it's comical that I go for makeup trials and stuff and bridal expos.

I just wish I had the type of bridal party that was just oh-so supportive the whole way through and were thoroughly supportive with me. I'm gettin' nuttin' - except from my MOH, my mom, dad and brothers. . Not even my FH is getting 'excited' with me about the actualy wedding!

Any suggestions? Sorry... just needed to vent. i'm having a bad day!!

Re: My Bridal Party

Aww, sorry you are having such a hard time.
That is why I am only having a MOH, who is my cousin and she is getting married in 2 weeks, and God bless her, even though she is getting married on june 2nd, she is coming with me to register on saturday. Keep in mind, I was always at the ready to help her with everything and did most of the shower by myself (my choice, too many bridesmaids = too much drama)
I am so thankful that my mom is being such a trooper, FH could care less about any planning, so having 2 people who really help is a lifesaver
