some of my BM's are driving me nuts..ok a VENT moment....i asked one to step down because we had a difference of opinion about her hair 7 she never showed up to a fitting that i drove 2 1/2 hours to go to....another 1 (Fh family) is procrastinating whenever i speak to her she guarantees me she is gonna get right on it this has been going on for weeks....another 1 is waiting for someone to drive her to davids bridal even though she decided not to go the day i drove down 2 1/2 hrs, she decided she wanted to take her kids rollerskating instead
i have relatives that live in the carribean & upstate and they have given me dates but the other girls just make me CRAZY..they are causing to my stress ...sorry so long...vent over

its not a guarantee one of the brides on here posted that it was six days before her wedding and they didnt get their fresses as of yet

well lets all cross our fingers for you! i think theres still hope of getting it in time too! im so sorry to hear your BP frustrations I dont get why ppl make it so difficult. If theyre not into it, why do they accept when you ask them into the BP? maybe obligation. I dont know. THANK GOD all of my BMs are family- 2 sisters, 2 step sisters, and a very close cousin. Bc I trust them w/ everything and know they only want the best and really, I can be blunt w/ them. Id be so frustrated in your circumstance. Call them again and tell them, I really want you to be a part of my BP, but you have to go get your dress by ______ or you may not be able to, as the dress may not be in. GL Janelle. What a pain!

I have the same question you do - If they are not into it or cannot do it - why accept when asked?? You are blessed that your family is working well with you - The one person that is giving me the most problems is my cousin and she is a BM - She is showing her true jealous colors.

Yesterday on the train home with FH, I realized that we hit double DD's and was so excited--he of course had no clue what 'double DD's' were

I had a fitting last week. I've started on my programs and putting together invites. FH and GMs are also going for tuxes in the next week or so.

I know my mom and BM's are busy trying to figure out shower stuff--she keeps bugging me about guest lists and being secretive.

We're meeting w/ flowers and cake vendors on Saturday, last big 2. I know Im a little late on that. I did a mock up of our programs. Im typing up labels for invites. Finished a bunch of DIY. And last night assembled all favors, my hands were cramping! Doing pretty good here, hope you are all doing good as well!! I feel like once I hit DD's, DAYS ARE FLYING!!!!!!!

please add me to the list
