Am I Being A Bridezilla?

My best friend lives in South Carolina and I've asked her to be one of my bridesmaids which she has excitedly said yes to. Everything was really exciting at first but now it's a little disappointing and I'm unsure whether or not I'm just being irrational/a Bridezilla. One of my biggest wedding fears...

My best friend lives in South Carolina and I've asked her to be one of my bridesmaids which she has excitedly said yes to. Everything was really exciting at first but now it's a little disappointing and I'm unsure whether or not I'm just being irrational/a Bridezilla. One of my biggest wedding fears is being a Bridezilla. I don't want to be that woman to my friends or family My best friend is a photographer, once I told her I was engaged she immediately wanted to fly out and take our engagement pictures. FH hates taking pictures so I thought maybe if a familiar face was taking our pictures he'd be more comfortable. A few weeks later I hadn't heard anything from her (this was in August) so I asked when she thought she'd be able to come out and she said probably not until the new year. Meh, okay, this was short notice so I found another photographer to do our pictures. NBD. Continued in comments....

    Okay no way would I want to travel across the country to play paintball with strangers. I'm sorry but for just a weekend event that I'm not interested in I'd much rather stay home.

    She will be at what wants to be at. You can't make her want to do anything. Let her make the plans. Invite her to everything and just let her decide if she will be able to make it or not. Pestering her is not going to help

    Maybe it is just because I bruise easily but paintball before a wedding seems like a bad idea to me...

    Maybe she doesn't like paint balling?

    Is anyone else confused on why the BM was going to buy the OP shoes? I know I am buying my own everything and would not want my BMs to buy anything but their own dresses.

    Why was your BM going to buy your shoes?

    The short answer- yea you're being a bridezilla. The long answer is she will make it a point to be there. Flying is exhausting and on the airport and security and packing. I think it's unreasonable for you to expect her to come out for any other event then the wedding.
