Very P?O'd at Ex-Bridesmaid

A few months ago I posted about my old BF from HS who I was her MOH at her wedding in FL. I had not mheard from her since 03/2003 and she changed her # in July only to call me in November asking when we were going to go for gowns for my 02.2005 wedding...

Ok, so I was pissed, but she was my friend and she is on Prozac~has been since 09/2000~ so I feelo for teh girl. SHe is very unstable and regardless, I will always have a soft spot for her. She tells me that she wants an invitation and she will be there without her husband...get the RSVP for two. Calls me first week of Feb, she will be there alone, calls me second week of Frb, she hasn't booked teh flight, but will DEFINATELY be coming in on the 28th-March 1...

Final headcount~!:00pm yesterday. She calls at 7pm...hysterical. I can't go, I can't get off...they layed off 12 people in my job today, they won't let anyone take vacation...hyesterical. I want to smack the tears out of her. Normally, I would feel bad for her and let her cry on my shoulder, but waht I REALLY wanted to do was tell her to go to hell. I AM STUCK PAYING FOR HER NOW!!!!!!!!! If she didn't cause me all of this grief since 03/2003 I would be more sympathetic, but she is so damn selfish and immature, I just don't have any more sympathy left. The gown for her wedding was almost $200, plus her BP, plus the flight to FL please teh gift plus the other crap I had to pay for. All I asked was for her to be here and she couldn't even do that much. ANd teh biggest P/O is that I HAVETO PAY FOR HER AND SHE WON'T EVEN BE HERE!!!!!!!!!!
My H/C is done and gone....

Thanks for letting me vent.

Oh Laurie don't sweat it!!! You said it yourself - she's very selfish. And now she's proved it again. How does she not know the date anyway? Didn't she get an STD?? Is there anyway you can call CB and let them know you're going to be 2 people short? (or is it only 1? I'm confused). I mean its only 1 day later and you still have a week (OMG a week!!!!!) - it can't be THAT difficult for CB to make a change....or maybe there's someone else you can put in her spot? (I know I'm reaching here but I'm just trying to come up with something for you!)

and btw, where's my reading?????

Laurie,
At this point the last thing you need is more stress! Don't let it get to you, there's nothing you can do about some things so why worry. I'm sure that you guys just like us have spent so much money on the entire wedding that 1 or 2 people's places going to waste is a drop in the bucket. That's the way it has turned out for me at least. I feel for you since I'm experiencing alot of the same nonsense. Don't let anyone ruin your special day hun.

P.S. If you just gave your headcount over the phone you can still adjust it when you take the final payment. Make your necessary adjustments, do the calculations again then get the certified check for that amount. That's what we did. I was at CB last night for the final payment and to drop off favors.

thanks Jenny

her parents are always taking crazy pictures of her...she's going to HATE it when she's a teenager and her mother shows them to her boyfriends!!!

Thnaks Emma~I may try that...

I know, People suck... :( She won't send a gift. She is LOADED, her parents used to own COMPARE SUPERMARKET~all of them...
BUt money doesn't by class...I wish someoen would tell her that.

Laurie, I'm so sorry!

You're right, money doesn't buy class.

But I'll still see you at the cocktail hour! !!!!!
