Bridesmaids are fighting... wedding is 17 days!

Cynthia, on May 28, 2019 at 3:51 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 13

So my bridesmaids are driving me crazy! They are fighting about almost everything under the sun... none of them are perfect. My maid of honor still hasn't gotten her dress in for alterations. 😑 one of my bridesmaids is in the process of moving to Arizona (after the wedding) thankfully! And my other bridesmaids has her dress done since she came with me the same time I went to get my wedding dress alterations started. But she is so busy. They are causing some much stress that I do not even want a bachelorette party if this is how they are going to act.. I'm not really looking for advice. Just venting!

    I don't think I understand how or why they would be fighting over any of these things?

    I'm so sorry your bridal party is causing you stress! Try to remove yourself from the drama and relax the best you can

    It's not that they are fighting over any of those things but they are quick to point out things they are not doing. When they are not doing much of anything to be honest.. I dont even know what caused it but I got dragged into with them all calling me. There's numerous things they have just been going back and forth on for a about 2 days now.. but it doesnt need to be known.

    It's just very annoying. They added me to the group message so I would get every message. So I dont know what to do anymore.

    Start by making one group message: Please drop this back and forth sniping at each other. Let's just each do what we need to. Time to get along. . . . And then close or delete the message thread.

    I agree with this. You don’t need to act as a go between. These people are adults. They need to sort it out and move on and you don’t need to be made aware of any of their issues with each other.

    I hope things have resolved or have lightened up by now. My bridesmaids did not fight but I know there were moments of tension and not everyone felt included. I think with any social circumstance there will may be issues just because not everyone gets along or works well together as we hope. They just need to be able to pull it together for you.
    I agree with everyone where if it's getting out of hand you just gotta be like hey you guys cut it out, get your stuff together, work it out.
    They don't have to be friends but they do need to be able to be civilized and work together enough to help you on your day.

    That's understandable. It sounds like the real issue is the one who hasn't had her alterations done yet. Just stay firm with her to get it done. This is serious wedding season and who knows how long it might take. The others just need to simmer down.

    I have told my maid of honor numerous times that she needs to get her dress in for the alterations and I'm done telling her. She is 24 years old and can do that one simple thing.. if she doesn't get it done then I dont want to hear about it the day of the wedding.. she just need length taken off or she wears different shoes..

    Hopefully.. I plan to just let things go. I've told them for months now what needs to be done on their end and I cant do anything more than what I already have. Thanks hun.

    Oh man! I feel ya girl. Having bridesmaids has caused me more stress than help. Everything will turn out ok, just focus on your fiancé (it’s your guys’ day anyways) ❤️
