Down to one maid of honor.

Stephanie, on May 16, 2019 at 10:57 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 10

I had two maid of honors because I couldn't pick one, because they both meant so much to me. I had my best friend and my cousin. Well as of last night my cousin dropped out. I'm more upset and hurt by her actions then I am mad. They way she went about it was just messed up. Now, I'm down a maid of honor, a groomsmen, flower girl and ring bearer! Yes, i understand I have a lot of time before my wedding but other things are in play here, So i dont need advice that sounds like "give her time, she will come around, or dont worry about" Anyways, She has became very jealous over the last few month of my lifestyle, do to that i dont have kids and she has three. I have tried very hard to make sure she knew that isn't a deal breaker for me. I love doing things with her and her kids, but lately she just keeps telling me no one wants to hang out with her because she has kids. She is always mad that me and my best friend hang out, went i asks her to do something and she tells me no. She has never really like my best friend, I'm not sure why, but my cousin posted a great big status on Facebook, more or less calling me out on things, So message her to talk about how she was feeling and see if we could work through things. She didn't want that at all. She wanted to fight. Which i told her i wouldn't do. I just want try to fixes things. So i asked her if she still wanted to be in the wedding, because she posted on Facebook that she didn't want to be. She gave me the run around about the question. First, it was yes, then it turn into i dont know because of some dumb reason, then She tells me no and continues to tell me that she feels uncomfortable standing next to my best friend during my wedding thats why she doesn't want to be in my wedding. This upset me very much because a woman that i cant stand do to her actions was in my cousin's wedding and I had to stand next to her during her wedding, so why couldn't you suck it up for me, as i did for you. I just feel like she didn't want to be there for me,and i just dont understand that. I would of respected it more if she would of just been up front with me about everything, and it really sucks that things happened like this. I guess im not really asking for advice, just needed to rant. Yes, im sure there was things I could and would of changed, but maybe its for the best.

    Stephanie,

    The one thing that I have discovered is that some people will not be happy for you, especially family. It usually has nothing to do with you. They're mad at themselves and need to take it out on someone and it's usually the person who's closest to them. Yes, you do have time but you don't have time for people being silly, petty, ignorant, and whatever other verb you want to add. Yes, she will come around eventually, but it will be too late. As hard as it may be, move on. Go with the one MOH. For my first marriage, one of my groomsmen just didn't show up. I didn't know until I was getting ready to walk down the aisle. I was upset but i just had two bridesmaids walk with him. We get stressed because we want everything perfect but it won't be. The one thing I was told to focus on is getting down the aisle to the one person who is going to love me regardless. Take care and stay focused on your goal. Leave her be and do what's best for you. YOu should not be catering to your bridal party, They should be catering to you!

    No problem Stephanie! Just remember...this day that you're planning is about you and your FH. You can easily let people know (like they don't already) without being a Bridezilla! LOL Just enjoy yourself and him while you're planning. Like I said, it will all work out.
