Bridezilla?

11 months before big day.


Okay ladies to start off I'm a Virgo. Everything have to be done a certain way or else it won't be perfect or how I've envision it in my head. I gave my fiancé one task, one simple task, and that was to have the groomsmen send a bio of how they meet the groom & also wishes to the couple. He proposed Sept 14 2019, I told him to do this task Sept 21,2019. The whole idea was to have our wedding website link on our save the dates that way people can checkout all our pre-marital events (engagement party, bridal wars & welcome to the Key-hive). Our saves the dates are schedule to go out 03/01/2020 & they're acrylic & the design is already set. I know we still have time to change things. Anyone else having issues with grooms to be not completing task?

    Why can't you and/or your FH just write them? It's not really your wedding party's job to narrate your wedding website.

    Of course they're not "narrating" the website, Its a total of 12 guys & they all have different personalities along with different stories of how they met the groom, they already agreed to send the bios before a certain date.

    I totally understand the feeling of needing everything to be done a certain way. I feel that way too at times!
    But I'm not sure if this is something that is worth being mad over? Your website can be updated as you go. Our website is live, but we don't have our registry or hotel accommodations up yet. That will come in time.
    We wrote out those descriptions/ bios for our wedding party on our website. It was tedious, but I like that we did it as the words were coming from us, and we were able to share why we love each person. What if you and your FH do this? That way, it will get done, but it's coming from you guys. Or, if you still want everyone to write out bios, just send out reminders. But have low expectations, and keep in mind that they may not write as much or take it as seriously as you want them to. You can also add bios as you receive them, so you're not waiting for the website to go live because of these bios. Relax though! Everything will come together and will be perfect however it happens!
    Good luck!

    We wrote out descriptions/bios for our wedding party ourselves. It isn't your bridal part'y's responsibility to write for your wedding website. If you want this, write it yourself. You obviously know how you met your girls and your fiance obviously knows how he met his guys. Whether they agreed to do it or not, that is relevant as they haven't done them plus you still have 11 months to go so they probably don't feel they need to rush to get them done.

    What was the deadline you gave? I don't think my fiance or his friends would feel the need to do something right away if they had almost 6 months to do it (Sept to March). Also, do you know if it's an issue of your fiance hasn't asked vs the guys aren't responding? I don't think it's fair to be mad at him if A) you're not at the deadline yet or B) it's the groomsmen, not him, holding up the process

    Girl I FEEL you. My four brothers are going to be my ushers and they'll be wearing my family kilt. I went through a lot of effort to find a good quality kilt they can all afford and have even written out an ordering guide for them. All I really need from them is their waist measurement. Easy information, yes? Wrong. None of them have taken the time to measure themselves for the kilts, and istg I'm about to go (to other states, mind you) and wrangle them with a damn tape measure. I wanted the kilts ordered this month. tenor.gif

    I have never heard of a groom asking his groomsmen this and I am actually laughing thinking about my husband asking any of his friends to do this. It would be impossible and none of them would do it. If you want it on the website, you should write it! That's what we did. To be honest, barely anyone looks at the website. We had 10 groomsmen and honestly getting them to rent their suits & show up was a win for me!

    I'm gonna share a true story with you for a moment. My birthday was 2nd october. Our first year together he said happy birthday to me the day after, only because I told him it had been my birthday.

    This year, I asked him a month in advance for a birthday card. This sunday will mark 3 months on from my birthday, and I still haven't received a card.
