Bridesmaid Issues.

@Amanda W That is awesome sounds like a blast!!

I am having to drag my BMs around too.

It was a pain just getting them to go look at their dresses!

Now they are complaining about not having money to pay for them!

These aren't expensive dresses,just irresponsible BMs.

I am having to pay for part of the dresses-and I really DON'T have the extra money......

They also don't even seem too interested and it's kinda a let down.

I'm ALWAYS excited about weddings!

Oh well,at least I can be excited I guess......

I didnt expect anything out of my bridesmaids besides showing up on the day off and looking pretty (which they are very capable of doing on their own). Unfortunately on my first round of bridesmaids werent very successful. During the choosing a dress process I ran into huge problems with them and I told them flat out they have an option of opting out. The two that were causing issues did "quit" (one bridesmaid quit for the both of them). It was hurtful that my childhood friends acted that way but I replaced them and ended up with the most AMAZING wedding party. We had a great time and everyone was so excited to be part of the wedding day. The week of the wedding my out of town bridesmaid on her own, willingly took on projects to help things run smoother.

I am kind of glad I have a wedding planner now, since we moved the wedding back we can afford, so I am greatful for this oppurtunity! Neither of my BMs have been married, one flat out won't get a job, she sleeps til 2 everyday and stays up all night partying (not like bad stuff just drinking or hanging out with ppl). Which doesn't make her a bad person, just a spoiled irresponsible one. Her daddy pays for EVERYTHING! The other is willing to buy her own stuff but can't help much because she has 2 children and just moved in with the new bf. And my sister, well.. I love her, but my parents never made her fend for herself or work.. so shes a army wife and stay at home mom. She gets what she wants when she wants ALWAYS. My mom and her are just alike. Ive decided to do most everything on my own. The girls have told them to delegate any tasks to them, but I can't get them to meet me.. so I'd rather handle it myself so I know it gets done. I'm glad I have a eager grandma and 2 great aunts!

I specifically asked my one bridesmaid who likes to move from place to place if she planned on settling down in our area. When she said yes, I asked her to be my bridesmaid. Then she took a "trip" to Europe for "a few months." She left in June. She's still not back. She just got a job. She doesn't know when she will be back. But she insists on remaining my bridesmaid. We talk to through Skype and email...Not cool.
