OK need to vent about BM

I have to post this under a different name because I know that my BM knows about this board and might read here.

Ok I have had problems with one of my BM's about 3 months after I asked her - it is like her head suddenly spins around like in the exorcist. She was a nice girl then totally turned psycho on me.

As time is going on I am having people coming over and telling me she did or told them things, I find out that my BM's are getting together to discuss (w/out me) how to deal with her, and then the last straw happened when she called and yelled at me and called me names.

Ok apparently she has told at least 3 people (there might be more - but these people TOLD me so I know definitely about them) that she is my MOH (which she is NOT) and there could be NO confusion as to this point (MOH in different dress and she was there when the dresses were ordered) and was announced as my MOH at the e-party

Then she told people at my e-party that she made money on my gift (she split the price of an expensive gift with someone - then told people she used gift certificates and coupons for discounts - but told the other person for 1/2 the FULL price - so she tells people by doing that I actually MADE money!)

She asked for every females AIM info at the party because since SHE is planning my shower alone she needs all the help she can get as MOH - nevermind the fact that apparently my BM have tried to involve her in the planning of the shower but she is never interested or tries to take over with what they say are HORRIBLY inappropriate suggestions

She got a drink (white wine) spilled in her purse at the e-party (total accident) and she complained so much to my parents that they offered to replace purse - she told them it was expensive etc. Well she said she could get a new one for 20$ so they gave her the money - then when we went out for drinks later she apparently bought a new one in the mean time for 8$ - and then told my friend her old one was only 10$ -

Then she tells me that she refuses to get her hair and makeup done with the girls she will only use her person which is in westchester - so I have a choice to either use her person OR she will leave us before the wedding drive back to westchester get that done then come back (this is a girl who CAN'T be on time - so I KNOW if we allow her to do that she will show up like 1 hour after the wedding was supposed to take place.

Well the last straw happened yesterday when she called me from the store where she was picking up her gown. Telling me that they are trying to charge her too much and that I need to straighten it out. Well I find out that the amount is right and I tell her that and she totally flips out on me. I said to her is this going to be a problem we can work something out? She relies - well what the F*** does it matter I'm F*****g stuck aren't I you F*****G B***H and slams down the phone. Now mind you she got a receipt the day we paid the deposit, and when I spoke to her the other day she KNEW how much the dress was. Apparently she told a BM it was NOT the amount SHE had to pay that was the issue it was the cost of the total dress price that was an issue for her (I paid 100$ towards all of the dresses)

Now my family and I have paid the difference in the price of the gowns I picked and the price of the ones they picked because we thought it was too expensive to begin with. I am already buying them all shawls and now when I was upset and told my mother she now insists that I pay an addition 100$ towards each girls dress.

This would mean I would be paying 260$ towards each girl + their gift - I simply cannot afford to do that and the other girls will not allow me to do this except for this one girl. (she makes 3x the amount that I do and she lives at home so she is always spending money on this or that)

The other BM's tell me they will kick her out if I don't or they hope she gets hit by a bus

I don't have the heart to throw her out - mom tells me I can't do it - but if I do I have to give her the money for her dress and any other expenses like the gift she bought me for the engagement party. The other girls tell me no they have been in parties where girls have been thrown out and the bride has never paid them back.

What do I do - let the girls throw her out? I am fed up but don't have the heart to throw her out myself.

Many hugs to you


let the girls throw her out, and they can say they spoke to you about it...

she sounds like too much trouble, you definately should not have to spend all that extra money...
even if you did spend the money she seems like she would create more problems before/on the day of the wedding..
i wouldnt want to deal with that stress

Re: OK need to vent about BM

wow...I think if your BMs are willing ...that would be great if they can talk to her...reimburse her for any expenses she has had...and write her out...the money spent will be worth it


most BM complaints are about being inactive or a little jealous...but this girl is out of control!!

Re: OK need to vent about BM

Why would you want someone in your wedding that called you a F*****G B***H? She sounds like a psychopath that may end up ruining your day. Kick her to the curb and I wouldn't pay her a dime back.

Re: OK need to vent about BM

i would say you just have to pay for her dress, and pick it up(you keep it).... i dont see a need to reimberse her for a gift already given to you

Re: OK need to vent about BM

Sorry but SHE sounds like the real F****** B**** here! How dare she talk to you like that!!! The only way I would excuse her behavior is if she is going through some personal crisis that you don't know about that is making her act wacky. You should talk to her and let her know how she is making you feel. Planning a wedding is enough stress...why would a true friend put you through any extra? I'm sorry but she should get tossed....hope the BP does it. Good luck and hope the rest of your planning experience is as wonderful as you deserve

I agree with Butterfly, pay for the dress and keep it...can you find someone to replace her that can fit into the dress? I would not pay her back for anything.

I agree, talk to her and see if she has personal problems, but it sounds like this girl is going to be more trouble than she's worth in you BP, and you don't want that stress on your wedding day. I don't think you need to give her back your e-party gift, but the money for the dress you probably should.

OUT OUT OUT!!

If this girl is behaving like this now- Imagine how she will behave on your wedding day!!

She is trying to swindle people out of money!!! She made money on your gift. Tell her she is out!! DO NOT GIVE HER ANY MONEY!!

Let her sell the dress and make her money back because anything she gets for it is going to be profit since you paid $100 towards it and she made money on your engagement gift.

This girl needs to learn some real manners!

Say good-bye good ridence-- you deserve better!!!

I say: toss her on her ass. You'll never remain friends with her after this anyway, so what's the difference. Don't make yourself miserable. Oh, and if your mother insists you pay more for the dresses, tell her you expect her to cover it. She has no right to demand that you pay anything, if she wants it paid she should write the check.

PSYCHO!!! I think you should toss her now. Imagine how she is going to act on your wedding day???

My SIL had a similar problem with one of her bridesmaids and she wound up paying for her dress. She was late in the morning, complained about everything and drank way too much. Then she left the wedding right before dinner and she my SIL hasn't spoken to her since.

I told her to boot her way before that but she didnt and now we have to see that WITCH in all her wedding pictures!

Re: OK need to vent about BM

You SO don't need this! If you're concerned about being mean, tell her that it seems like being in your bparty is stressing her out or too much of a financial drain, and that you understand if she can't be part of it. Explain that you are using YOUR hair person and all the things are going to be the way you say, she can be part of it or not.
She sounds like she is bringing the morale of your BP down too. That's not good for them either.
Try not to let this get to you. She doesn't sound like a friend you'd miss if she gets offended.
Good luck!!

Edited to say that you absolutely should NOT reimburse her for any money she laid out!

I would ask her to step down. This is not a person you would have in your life after all this.

She is so wrong on so many levels here - cursing you out, ripping off people for joint gifts, the purse incident alone (disrepecting my parents, and she basically stole from them are both unforgivable in my book).

I do not think you owe her anything for out of pocket expense, but for the peace level of you, your family and the rest of the BP I would tell her buh bye.

I would ask her to step down - she had no right treating you that way! Is there someone else that could take her place?
